Musiclover, check, check, check, check. Everything checks out. My interface is powered on 24/7 so that isn't it.

I hope to get this straightened out soon. Some of the people involved are in the whiz category and THEY are stumped. I would have a hard time thinking it was my hardware at all but I know stuff happens. Maybe I do need to reinstall Real band. I never even tried it until Sunday so it had never been used.
