Re post #89, (1) and (3): I can't reproduce the problem and apparently they can't either. As noted previously, if I
don't select "share drivers," I can run as many Windows programs as I want along with SONAR. As to (2), I don't have distortion occur after several hours of operation, but then again, I'm not constantly switching back and forth among a variety of programs during those hours.
If I could reproduce, I could provide steps to reproduce and TASCAM could look into these steps. But I can't. TASCAM is not getting reports of issues that parallel yours. The interfaces are selling quite well so I would assume that if these problems were common, TASCAM would be getting more reports. However most people probably just use the interfaces for their intended purpose, i.e., ASIO operation with a DAW as opposed to switching back and forth constantly among a variety of different programs that handle audio differently and do not accommodate ASIO. So steps to reproduce might be "install these five different programs along with SONAR, switch among them every 15 minutes..." For example I don't have VLC installed on my system.
(4) I can reproduce, but I don't consider this a serious problem. I'm not sure what the interface would need to do to recognize that the computer has woken up again but maybe that's something that could be added to an update. However if you don't want the interface to turn off, disable auto-off.
The "problem" is I don't have problems with the interface and apparently, no one has provided steps that enable TASCAM to reproduce what you're experiencing. Until that happens, I really don't know what they can do...if you can provide PRECISE steps to reproduce, PM me and I will test. If I can reproduce as well, I'll send the info to TASCAM.
I'll check out post #90 later. I always operate all inputs in Mono, so I wouldn't know if setting to Stereo persists or not.
