So for a while now I have be trying to diagnose why my POD HD Desktop drops severly in volume or sometimes cuts completely out and that usually follows a BlueScreen on my computer.

People said the volume cutting out was possibly the buffer rate which I then increased but eventually that did not help so I knew that was not the true problem.

So today I moved my POD to get something for my brother and while moving it it cut out. I thought it could be chance that it cut out at the same time I touched it but then I wiggled the USB cable and it cut in and out until it worked perfectly again.

I am assuming now that the USB was the problem the whole time which was my intial thought but I didn't know anything about the POD and really still don't.

Basically I am asking has anyone unless had the same issue with the USB cable? Also I am guessing that you can buy these cable from amazon right?

And is it more likely that it is the USB port itself or the cable?

One more thing, when it cuts out the asterix shows up on screen as if I had changed some settings on the current patch it is on.

Thank You.
