I've had this Presonus AudioBox USB for two whole days. It played audio from various sources successfully during that time using the DX drivers. Then I tried to connect a MIDI keyboard to drive Reason 6, first by USB, then by standard MIDI In. I have successfully used this keyboard before on another PC through two different interfaces.

Today I'm getting crackles for sound and nothing more. I thought it was just the MIDI side gone fnort, but I get the same result with all sources. I've got a message in to Propellerheads but I can already tell this isn't a Reason problem. Is it possible that my PC is toasting these interfaces? Now I've got two boxes to return/exchange, no sound, and I'm starting an online Reason 6 course tomorrow.
