I am attempting to use ASIO4ALL with Power Tracks for Windows, but unfortunately the Windows 10 task bar "left/right volume slider" in this case, does not work. The volume seems to be stuck on LOUD, and the Windows 10 task bar volume control will not work to vary the volume. Hope someone has seen this.

Have you looked at the Windows Sound options in your Control Panel to make sure the correct device is what you expect?

Hello rharv,
Thank You for your response.
I did go to control panel/sound and verify that my default sound device is RealTek High Definition Audio speakers.
This Windows 10 Velocity Micro PC comes with a drivers disk, so I used that, to verify that this machine has the manufacturers recommended RealTek HD sound drivers.
This machines "Normal" Windows 10 sound system appears to be working OK - that is, iTunes and Windows media player for audio. The problem comes when I attempt to use asio4all (version 2_14) with any other program such as Power Tracks Windows 2019 (with the build 2 update). I believe there is superposed to be some sort of software link from the Windows 10 taskbar horizontal left/right volume slider to the sound path coming from the asio4all system. That software link appears to be broken, and so far, I have not been able to discover the problem.
Thank you, in advance, for any thoughts you or any others may have in finding the "Missing Link".

Does the Powertracks Master volume work as expected?
You may have to use that while working in PT or RB.

Yes the PG music apps master level controls are still working, and this is helpful for PTW and RB - not so much for Pro Tools.
I tried an msconfig bare bones startup, as well as Microsoft scannow, - those things did not help, and of course I've re-installed my Audio Drivers, asio4all, and PTW - Those things have not helped. I've loaded an early C Drive disk image from a time when there were no music programs yet installed on this PC and just installed PTW as a test, but surprisingly - this did not help. I'm beginning to suspect that this anomaly may be buried in the internals of this particular machine's operating system. If none of our helpers has mastered this particular bug before, what is left may be the "nuclear "option.
Thanks for your thoughts so far.

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."
