Mike, I haven't tried the amp with another PC yet. I guess that'll be next. My DAW is a desktop device. My other PC is a laptop, so at least it won't be so hard to try it out.

The amp wasn't really "gradually" losing volume. It was like, suddenly, the volume was cut in half, and then, suddenly, it was cut down to where just a trace showed in BiaB's Audio Edit window. So it was more like it lost volume in jerks rather than gradually.

Mario, my original post answers a couple of your questions, but I'll go ahead and address them here.

1. I already did turn off everything and unplugged everything. It didn't make any difference. Are you suggesting that I try this again? I'm not hopeful the results will be any different. And no, no hub. I'm plugging directly into USB ports on the PC, although I suppose that, for the sake of full disclosure, the USB ports I'm plugging into are ports installed in the case. Cabling from these ports I connected to USB jumpers on the motherboard -- so it really shouldn't make any difference, I would think. I use these ports all the time because they're convenient. The ones on the back of the PC mostly definitely are not convenient. DAW and all. Think festoons of wiring back there.

2. There is no CODE software. As I mentioned above, the CODE is supposedly USB compliant, so Marshall doesn't supply a USB driver for the amp.

3. I'll have to snag a copy of cCleaner. I don't have anything like that installed. Probably about time to run something like that anyway.

4. Just to repeat. There are no drivers for the CODE amps.

A. N/A

B. Boy Howdy

C. Again, no drivers

4. As mentioned previously, I tried three different USB ports.

All is not lost. If all else fails, I'll just run the amp's line out into my Delta 66's Omnibox-thing. It amounts to an external audio interface for the card, so it's an easy way to get audio into my system. I was just hoping to enjoy the "convenience" and possibly better audio quality of USB over my Delta's analog to digital converters, which actually do an excellent job.
