Well, I just got permanently banned from the PreSonus forums.
 
For a post in a thread of AudioBox VSL owners complaining about the product being unceremoniously dropped from support, with tons of existing bugs and complaints. And I even stated how I repurposed my 44VSL and was getting beneficial use from it.
 
OK, so I also mentioned that I dumped S1 for SPlat and Notion for Forte because I was getting NO support for the issues/bugs I raised for all three products. Never got a response from PreSonus on a single issue.
 
I have spent a LOT of money on PreSonus products. I'll keep using the the 44VSL until I can afford to replace it (solely out of spite).
 
What a terrible lack of customer focus.
 
The good news? I'll have a LOT more hard drive space available when I get done deleting ALL of my PreSonus content.

Good for you to get out from there and back to the civilized forums.

I've been wondering if my Presonus 44VSL is the reason Sonar will not work with Windows 10. I've tried 10 three times and everytime Sonar eventually will quit working. The message is always the same..."Sonar.exe has quit working". That's all it says. No crash, no error, no clues of any kind.

Isn't there any logs in the Win 10 side or in the program's folders? I don't know 10 at all so it is difficult for me to help but I try. Have you checked SetupAPI logs?does it show up as an unknown device? Have you tried compatibility modes?

I'm surprised you were even able to get the driver to install on Win10. The last functional update they made to that driver was about 2 years ago, well before Win10. I had trouble with the driver on Win7, and was never able to run with a buffer of less than 256 samples. On Win10 on my Dell PC, it refused to install.
 
So, what's a user to do? Right. Keep checking the product download page for a driver update.
 
And guess what?
 
There was an update...to the descriptor for the download, claiming Win10 compatibility for the v1.3 driver. Ha ha ha. If it works for you, it's compatible. If it doesn't? FU. Ha ha ha.
 
The latest and last driver (v1.3) does not install like a Win10 driver. You might be able to run an application in compatibility mode, but a driver? Not.
 
My recommendation? Find a core-compliant use for your 44VSL and get yourself a Tascam US-NxN interface for Xmas. My US-16x08 is rock solid, quiet mic pres with plenty of headroom, no glitching even with a buffer of 64 samples, and AFFORDABLE for all of the i/o. With the recent release of the US-20x20 on USB3, the USB-16x08 has seen some really nice sale prices, often available for less than the US-4x4. You wouldn't regret it.
 
I appreciated Starise's feeddback on Nady, so I passed on their headphone amp. The only problem is that the one I've settled on (Rane HC6S) is 4x the cost, so I've got some saving to do. But I can see it now. Put the rack ears on my US-16x08, get the Rane (also a 1U device), and get a Gator G-PRO-2U-19 portable rack case for both.
 
Yeah, I can see it.

Regarding the faderport's fader, it's almost certainly the firmware version which is preventing it from working.  I had to dick around with various flavours (versions) of firmware before the problem was fixed (and that was with S1).  Lots of people have had this problem with it.
 
Latest is v1.3.8, available here: http://support.presonus.com/entries/20470206-FaderPort-1-3-8-firmware-Motorized-Fader-Solution
 
This is being presented as the version which fixes the motorised fader issue.
