I have Ultra 2017, Windows 10. My laptop's audio worked fine until I loaded the most recent patch (Dec 23) 30 mins ago. The laptop audio works for everything except BB (MS pings and YouTube). I'm not very technical, and I don't recall the previous settings, but they are now set to MME, (there is no ASIO), I have looked at Preferences, Audio, and it is set to use the LT speakers. GS Wavetable. I ran the automatic Get Driver from Soundcard just to see if that would help. The volume for all song tracks is at 100.

(As an aside, though I have loaded 2017, the top right mixer panel has always continued to as the 2016 version (is not able to be relocated, for example, stays where it is) on this LT, but is fine on my desktop (Windows 8).

Thoughts? Can I roll-back the patch? Return to factory settings? I've open/closed BB, and rebooted a couple times.

Thanks.

Andy,

Yes, you can roll back the patch. Simply go to the below webpage and download the patch you want to return to. Then run it and install over the top of the current patch. This will return you to the previous patch.

All the best,
Noel

P.S. PG Music released build 456 today. If you installed build 455 and it was this that caused the problem, it would be worth trying 456 before reverting to 454.

If driver settings were changed, reverting may not undo this change.

Right-click the speaker icon in lower right and look at Windows playback device options while BiaB is playing and see if any of the meters available show signal.

That was it, Noel. Once I rolled back to 545 audio returned AND the screen/mixer is 2017.

Also, thanks to both Harv and Ian for your input. I checked the sound controller per your suggestion and it was set up properly. Great suggestion on posting at the Windows forum, Ian. I should have gone there first. I think I was hyperventilating, thinking I'd screwed it up and might have to wait until Tuesday for tech help if this forum couldn't solve things for me. (I'm still having issues with the upgrade on my desktop and have been working with tech support for a week, so confidence was low.)

Maybe a future patch will help me, but for now things are peachy.

And remember; there is no such things as too much pie. Merry Christmas to all.

Thanks!

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
