When I import or open a video there is no audio even though it shows in track view. I also get an exception error message sometimes when loading a video. Are some formats better than others to use in powertracks?" I tried converting to a wmv file and that immeadiatly gets an application error message. I am using powertracks 2021 64 bit on windows 10

If audio shows in the track view, do the VU meters there show any activity when it plays?
If so it may be a Port issue, but if not, that would be a bigger problem.
If you can 'see' the audio but there is no VU activity, the basics would be to make sure the volume for that track is up, and make sure it is not getting muted by the track or an Event in the Event List.

No activity in VU meters. Track is not muted volume is up. error message comes up a few seconds after I hit play on the video. In the menu The port is Speakers (sound blaster audigy5 RX - which is correct.

PT needs the OS to have the codec
His Windows 10 should have a codec for MP4, although there are many different MP4 codecs, and the codec will only be present if he has Windows Media Player installed. Panworks - do you have Windows Media Player? If not, please install it by following this page: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/get-windows-media-player-81718e0d-cfce-25b1-aee3-94596b658287If that doesn't help, what codecs are the MP4 file using, and how many audio/video streams are in the file? MP4 is technically just a container format, so there are many different video/audio codecs it could be using, some of which may not be built in.

If it plays fine on WMP then you have the codec installed, it was just a guess by me
Not sure how to tell what codec is used, I *think whatever is available for the system would be used.
You may be able to find some more info by right-clicking the file, going to Properties, then the Details tab. Hopefully you can see the number of audio treacks and bitrate there.

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."
