Ok, so I decided to give it a try while using my friend's PC since he asked do a fresh install of Win10 Pro on the machine.

It's a Ryzen build with a MSI B450 motherboard, I'm using the audio output on the back of the MB and no other dedicated audio sound card.

I followed the instructions, installing the BA Pipeline and setting it as the default output, and everything when fine until reaching the ASIO setup part, as none options under "common audio devices" show any ASIO related setting (I checked under both tabs, "common monitor output" and "internal PLL"). 

Does BA1 requires a dedicated sound card or could it be that the motherboard does not support ASIO? Other than showing "BA Pipeline" under "interface kernel streaming" setting, it shows "Realtek HD Audio Output" and "NVIDIA high definition audio".

If I try to continue without these steps, close the settings and start BA1, as soon as I start playing a YouTube video, I get some kind of audio echo or noise loop that continues to "grow" from quieter to louder (if that makes any sense). This sound continues to play even when the video has stopped.

I also tried removing BA1 and installing BAE and it worked fine following the built-in wizard. So maybe BAE does not require any ASIO support in comparison to BA1?

Thanks again.
