I'm on the beta test team for Toontracks. If you set EZD2 up with the SONAR option engaged, you will get a dialog box that asks whether you want to work with 8 outputs or 16 outputs. If you are working on a legacy project, select 8 outputs and you are good to go.
I got bit by the midi output issue just a few weeks ago when I bought Platinum and for fun started working in SONAR again using an old project that I found on my hard drive. Once I realized that all the other softsynth tracks were messed up, I simply opened EZD2, went into the settings and chose the SONAR option. Then I closed the project without saving it.
Immediately when I reopened the project, I got the query box that asked me how many outputs for EZD2 to use and I selected 8 and everything opened up as expected.
