Hmmmm... when I ran BIAB 263 just now and asked it to check for updates, it said that I was up to date.
Yes, I know I can do it manually but still...

Setup: Macbook pro i7(2011), OSX Sierra, Audio interface: RME Fireface UFX
Just installed Build 266 update
With RME Fireface UFX connected BIAB now shows this alert message in the left corner every time I activate play:
"Playback might silent because of unusual audio device settings. Your audio sample rate is 44100 Hz and number of output channels is 30. The ideal sample rate is 44100 Hz, and the ideal number of channels is 2 (stereo). Click on this message to launch the macOS Audio Devices where you can change your device settings."
- Activating play 4 times I get 4 Alert messages on top of each other. Very annoying!!
Notes:
- Playback does not silent. Everything is playing well !?!?
- When disconnecting RME Fireface UFX no alert message appear.
- No unusual audio devices are configured or connected to the system
best regards
Axel

Axel Hello Axel, The warning is an alert message and can not be turned off. However, as you have discovered an alert message does not affect program operation. Normally the message displays because the sample rate does not match Band-in-a-Box's sample rate of 44.1K. Many devices will automatically set the sample rate to 48K. In your case the issue is not the sample rate but instead is the number of channels, 30, reported by the audio interface driver. Band-in-a-Box expects an audio interface with two channels. When more than two channels is reported the alert message is displayed to remind the user any audio channel above two can not be used by Band-in-a-Box. +++ HERE +++ is a discussion on the alert message you may find useful.

Hopefully, this nonsense will be resolved in the next version of BIAB for Mac.
If not, can we have a check box for Do not show this again ?

I totally agree!
On Mac OS X -
The fact that BIAB cannot handle an audio interface with more than 2 channels is really a non-issue. It has alway (In my 10 years as a BIAB user) automatically selected channels 1 and 2 when you have connected an interface that has multiple outputs - We are used to it - Just like all other APPs in Mac OS X with the same limitations.
- So please make a build 267 as soon as possible and remove this (non)improvement. It only disturbs the workflow very must.
If, against my expectation and experience, there is a relevant issue for this warning message. Then please don't let it pop up every time you press Play!
- Hope that the BIAB Team reads this and will comment it.
best regards
Axel
By the way I do love this Great APP!
