When you click on the "Plugins" tab on the Mixer, what does it day for the Bass track? Is it four "none" like shown on the image below?
Yes, everything is 4 "None", except melody and soloists, which both have "Default synth Coyote" in the fist slot.

Bingo. After I did "reset most" it is now working properly. I guess that begs the question what option might have been the culprit, but I guess I don't care.
I show the before and after Audacity wave forms below (the after-reset one is first).
Hi all! Pumps2 (and anyone else experiencing this issue) - on the mixer, are your "this song" and "all songs" faders set higher than zero? That's the only way I was able to duplicate this issue.
"This song" and "All songs" were both left at zero.
Please note the problem went away when I did an options reset of "most". Any theories of what might explain that (just idle curiosity)? Are there any options that affect how mono tracks are rendered versus stereo tracks?
Now that the program is satisfactorily working once more you should save your preferences. That way you can quickly return to normal operation should a problem arise in the future.
You can save your current preferences by navigating to OPTIONS > Save Preferences As ...
That will open a window where you can save your preferences as a file.
As you've seen, the Return To Factory Settings is almost instantaneous. So is loading your saved preference file.

I'm not sure what the issue was either, but I'm glad you've got it sorted!

What he said - saving your preferences is always handy.
That was it! I had the "This Song" set at "8". Going to Zero solved the problem.

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® Today!
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."
