Hi, I have 2017 BiaB with the ultra pack. Somewhere I must have changed a setting, either in the software or the laptop.
When I have BiaB open I can't play any other music file, eg an mp3 in another file location...itunes for instance.
Even the audio on You tube is muted ??!!
When I exit BiaB it all comes back??!!
I'm sure it was all good at some stage.............any clues??
Thanks in advance

I think this has just started since I got the midi keyboard working without latency

In preferences/audio do you have ASIO selected?

ASIO driver audio setting

If it is then try changing it to MME and see if you can load MP3s etc.

Although I have no experience with ASIO4ALL I have heard that it may or may not work with some audio interfaces. If you are going to use ASIO you should invest in an audio interface that has native ASIO drivers.

Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

If you un-check Always On you will get sound for the system audio when BB is stopped.

You can use Voicemeeter Banana, this will give you Voicemeeter Virtual ASIO for Biab and Voicemeeter AUX Virtual ASIO for the Windows System audio like youtube and reatrack/style picker preview at the same time.
You can use HiFi cable and Virtual cable to give more inputs to Voicemeeter, they are free also on the voicemeeter site.

Why do you guys continually answer questions when the question is OBVIOUSLY IN THE WRONG FORUM??

Don't the FAQ's mean anything at all?

Wish, nothing against you but this is a Band in a Box question, and it belongs in the Biab forum. Just read the FAQ at the top of this Tech S.O.S. forum and you'll see why.

Maybe it turned out to be a BIAB question, but I'm not sure that was clear at the outset. Until someone knows for sure I don't see anything wrong with asking for help in this forum. Let's be gentle.

The orange tree has some scale on it now as it has a lot of sooty mold, the ants seem to be farming the scale.
So I need something organic to get rid of the scale and keep the ants from coming up the trunk ????

Maybe to you this is a BiaB question.
However the OP says early on that he doesn't know if this is a BiaB issue or Windows .. and I understand why. Changing a BiaB Driver may affect the way everything in Windows now works.

If I make a device's driver become 'exclusive' for my use (BiaB), other apps are going to complain or fail.
It could be a complex issue in my experience, and the solution may involve both Windows and BiaB ..
When I read the quote below from the OP I hear either the software (BiaB) or the laptop (Windows).

Sorry if this bothered you Bob but as the heading suggests

SOS - General technical questions regarding computers or music equipment.

My BiaB is working fine, just my laptop and music players aren't functioning at the same time as BiaB is open.
Still working on the suggestions above so will get back with another post.............if thats ok??
Cheers

I don't have any sound from BiaB but the other music files are playing. Getting closer??

This seems to work....haven't tried the latency on the midi keyboard yet.

Unfortunately or otherwise, I'm off from the Land of Oz to the Land of Biab (vancouver Island and beyond) for 2 months so will have to work it out when I get back.
Thanks

You need to have the voicemeeter mixer running and the output set to your onboard sound device.

It's a setting inside Biab, therefore it's a Biab question.

Also, how can someone ask a question like this without first giving us the basics of their system and none of you guys even asked for that. Is it Win10 or what?

Sorry.

Yes, that could be helpful, but he already showed he has BIAB 2017 for Windows, and I haven't seen evidence in this thread of anything where the answer would be different in Windows 10 from Windows 7 or 8.

Hi Wish - have you tried resetting your program's factory settings? That could very likely solve this issue for you! Under Options select Return to Factory Settings and then choose Return ALL to Factory Settings. Hopefully you get this sorted soon!

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!

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."
