Hi Andrew,
I have some progress to report, first the update to 818 did not change anything about the problems I have been having, I carried it out yesterday and tried it and tried it again today.
Your suggestion to run the PG as a stand alone has had more success, I tried it and though I wasn't sure whether to open CB first that's what I eventually tried. I created a blank project and with the project open and operating(I put a test track in), it was set to 44100 / 24 bit, I then opened the Stand alone version of the PGin. The first thing to note was that it jumped the Audio Input to 96000 and so the test track in CB was inaudible but pressing on I was able to prepare a track and generate it and subsequently transfer it to cubase (I also did an import of the BIAB MGU and that worked and would transfer all tracks as a batch too) Of course the AI had been jumped to 96000 and to reset it I had to close the stand alone and CB and switch the AI back on so that I could get the 44100/ 24 bit setting back (there is no switch on the AI) There are still problems as I have to rejig CB for inputs and outputs so that makes it a pain as a work round (I'm still working on getting that right) BUT the main thing is that the Stand alone jumps my AI to the 96000 setting and I notice from the settings in the Stand alone that the only option for the Stand Alone is 96000 and presumably thats what has been causing the jump to occur. It sounds convoluted but I'm sure that I could explain it in 5 mins by telephone, so it's not solved and its a pain to operate. Please email me if you can do a chat and I'll ring in and thanks for the suggestion but it's still not really there
