I have 2 issues and am pretty sure they are related. A little background so please bear with me.

I run Digital Performer. I got a new interface this past weekend - an M-audio fast track ultra 8r. I demoed it for a night and temporarily plugged the USB cable into the front USB port on my Mac G5. Everything worked fine. I recorded and bouced out without a hitch.

I bought it the next day and then permanently put it in my rack and moved the USB to the back of the computer. It plays audio just fine. Now, my front USB does not read anything except the interface though. If I put a thumb drive in, it never shows up. Any ideas?

As for Digital Performer. If I have a session, say 1 stereo instrumental and 10 mono vocal tracks and I bounce out all files - it only plays the vocals. Playback in DP plays everything. If I record, it records fine in mono or stereo.

What would cause this?

I have reinstalled the driver and nothing. I tried swithcing the output cables and nothing. This is driving me crazy. I'm hoping someone may know a fix for either. Thanks!
