Hello, Due to some issues, I've had to re-install RealBand. The problem issues are gone and everything seems to be back to normal except that sound is only playing through the Left Channel. All other Audio Apps, BIAB etc are playing both channels. Am I overlooking something in Prefs?
Check Audio Prefs for the selected Audio input/output Drivers in RB Depending on device these may allow such weirdness
The meters seem to show out signal on both Can you clarify whether the output is playing on both channels? Is the input playing on both channels? (obviously one is not as desired)
If you actually record a few seconds, do both sides get recorded when played back? Do you hear both sides on playback?

When I record a couple of seconds as you suggest, only the L channel is recorded. Recording is set as Stereo mix, so this reflects what I hear through the speakers. When I render to stereo WAV everything is fine. Driver is MME.
As I said at previously all other Audio apps are OK, BIAB, Reaper, Windows Media Player, etc, So the problem must be somewhere in the depths of RealBand.
This is perplexing; it may be worth letting PGMusic support take a look at it, or whoever else you trust. Is Live Chat available at the top right of this screen?
It sure does sound like a setting in RB is the cause (since everything else works as expected), but I can't think of what it would be. There is a MONO checkbox in the RB Mixer screen, this couldn't be it, could it?
Have you tried renaming the files Realband.INI and RB.CFG? If you close RB, rename those files, then re-open RB, it will reset your RB settings for devices (essentially a factory reset). It will then recreate those files as it launches. Should things actually seem worse after trying this, you can rename those two files back to their original name to get back to where you are now.
Both of those files are in your active RB folder (usually C:\Realband)

Apologies for not replying sooner. The day after my last post things got worse, all audio output sounded as if being passed through a delay pedal. This was across all apps and RB still had Left output only. I decided to perform a Windows recovery and that cured the audio but also messed up my log in details to this forum. It has taken until now for support to get me back! So the problem is not solved but has gone away.

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.

Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
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."
