I'm using Reason on my Win XP laptop with an external gigaport sound card w/ASIO. I use 2 MIDI keyboards via a Midisport. The whole mess (gigaport and midisport) goes into a powered USB hub. Having a problem with sudden degradation of music into noise. This has happened on stage.

I can quickly correct the problem by reloading the gigaport drivers (by unplugging the gigaport and plugging it back in -- it's faster than rebooting the computer).

I've tried using a new gigaport.

I've tried disabling all of the sound drivers on the laptop, thinking that there may be conflicts with them.

I've borrowed a newer laptop and tried it out. I haven't had the problem with the newer computer. So I'm pretty sure the problem is somewhere on my lappy, and it has to do with the gigaport driver.

Any ideas?

It could be due to your audio buffer rate (makes a white noise kind of sound) which you can edit in preferences, or it could be due to the usb cables being too long, apparantly you can only connect 5 usb adapters at maximum.
