Fixed it! The problem was the Windows 8.1 drivers for the ASMedia USB 3.0 hub (on ASUS motherboards). It's broken. I replaced it with drivers from ASUS' site and all is well again.

As a developer I have access to the RTM version of Windows 8.1 and decided to install it on my primary system. Largely it's been a great update with very few problems. However, my Line 6 drivers are having issues with my Pod Studio GX. At first, L6 Monkey would have trouble seeing the GX. When trying to do anything with the device (selecting as an input in Reason, changing the volume in Windows), the system would temporarily hang. I went through several rounds of reinstalling/clearing/installing the Line 6 drivers and programs. I'm to the point now where L6 Monkey always sees the GX but no input is working. Hopefully Line 6 releases an update for 8.1 in time for the official rollout in a few weeks. I submitted a support ticket to bring the issue to their attention. For now I guess I'll use my amp or laptop.

Hey guys- just noticed this thread. I was having popping noises on my Pod GX as well in Windows 8. I've been able to get rid of them completely doing two things: 1) Use ASIO4ALL for drivers to programs, rather than ASIO GX or Toneport directly. 2) When static occurs, restart the "Base Filtering Engine" in Windows services. I have no idea why this works, but it does. Hope this helps.
