Mike, you might consider getting a USB2 hub for certain peripherals, and giving the interface a dedicated port on the PC itself. I learned the hard way that moving an interface from port to port sometimes messes with functionality. I moved my Presonus AudioBox USB and found that certain programs no longer recognized it.

The only fly in the ointment I've found with the AudioBox is that there is no uninstall utility for its drivers; you have to go into the registry and manually delete things. Ridiculous, if you ask me, but that's what it takes to get it working again. From now on I'll make certain it gets plugged in to the same port every time.

Your mileage, of course, may vary, but that's how it is over here.
