Alright, it seems that there were a number of things against me in this. The majority of the issue was with the drivers. I had been using the beta driver Win7 at that point but upgraded to the official Win7 drivers. I also updated Gearbox to the latest version both after a complete uninstall of ALL Line 6 software. This alone did not fix the problem. I had to set the Gearbox application to run in WinXP SP3 mode and ensure that I run the program as an administrator. This seems to have fixed the problems with the software. However, I was still having issues with the hardware. Ocassionally I would get a DSP error saying that the setting failed to load and that I might not hear the selected model and something about a hardware error. I would have to reinstall everything again. The other problem I was running into was I would be playing or recording and everyhting would lock up on me. I would lose sound, and the needles on the gauges would freeze where they were (typically in the middle of the gauge). Also, when I was playing, I was getting this crazy popping sound in my monitors. This would happen even if I was just listening to music... Turns out, my laptop doesn't push enough power out of its USB ports to properly power the UX2. This wasn't an issue with the Guitarport but it was also a smaller (and simpler) device. Hooked up a sefl powered USB hub and I haven't had any problems since.
