Hey boatbassguy. Thanks for the response.
I've found that if I have my usb network adapter plugged in, and my network activity is very little, the audio interface performs as it should (with the exception of certain audio plugins in high quality modes causing static.)
If I start any downloads, the audio will crap out and the next time I try to open any audio applications, the mixcontrol will report that the interface is disconnected from the driver. After that, If I unplug and replug in the usb cable, mixcontrol says the the hardware is not connected all together and my usb led on the 8i6 goes solid, regardless of whether or not the usb cable is plugged in.. So it seems when the 8i6 doesn't have a certain ammount of bandwidth to use, it freaks out and disconnects, forcing a power cycle to get it back.
I'm confident that getting a dedicated usb port card will do the trick. I'll post my results when I find out more.
Quick question though. When you first power on your 18i6 without the usb cable plugged in, does the usb led on the front of your interface go solid green or does it stay unlit?
thanks
