History. I use my ux2 daily with gearbox to record on and run my speech recognition.

Every once in a while (every coupld days over the last 3 months), my ux2 loses connection with the computer - no sound comes through - needles still jump on ux2 - but zero output in my "record send 1-2" in gearbox. I restart programs, sometimes computer - back working.

Sometimes (less often - maybe a dozen times), the needles on the ux2 don't even move. restart - typically fixes it right up.

3 days ago - no needles on ux2. check all volume/out one at a time - all set to normal, no mutes. restart? nothing, try different mic cords? nothing. try different mics? nothing. try different mic inputs? nothing. + or - 48v? nothing.

couldn't load dsp of alternate setups.

So I run line6 money - update all software (especially gearbox, 3.72.0) - all lights are now green.

NOW, still no needles on ux2 relative to mic input.

NOW However, needles on ux2 bounce randomly every few seconds, sending a "pop" sound to my computer.

the usb signal at the bottom of gearbox - blinks when I unplug from ux2, stops blinking when I plug back in.- green signal next to usb icon - shows up and down green lights.

60 second video that shows needles on ux2 bouncing and usb monitor in gearbox bouncing http:/12z.us/ux2_problem.mp4

if I turn on podfarm - needles bounce in the same way, same problem.

If I turn off gearbox or podfarm - needles on ux2 stop bouncing.

Any ideas?
