Hey folks,

I recently upgraded from a Firestudio Project to the Studio 192 which I've had for almost a week now. I have had good experiences recording with the Firestudio since purchased in May 2013, I pretty much couldn't fault the unit besides its single headphone jack. So I thought the Studio 192 could only be so much better!

Using the Studio 192 I have had to overcome a number of problems, there are some things I just want to clarify if are intentional design decisions, or are bugs/glitches that shouldn't be happening... I use Studio One as my primary DAW on Windows 10.

The device resets whenever I open Studio One, causing a pop/click in my speakers and renders any audio other than Studio One in-operable. Even when at the same sample rate (41.1khz) which makes referencing anything a pain without dragging any external audio files into the DAW. I have tried disabling and enabling exclusive control in the windows control panel but it makes no difference. So when opening Studio One to work almost any other system multi-tasking is disabled, I understand having this as an option to be great for dedication studios but is pretty inconvenient not for project studios, like me.

Is it also a design decision that I have to set-up main outs and headphone routing almost every time I create a new Song? I even have to set-up routing again sometimes when loading previous Songs that have already been set-up for the Studio 192. I obviously never had to do this with my Firestudio which is an annoyance but I understand it to a degree.

Also whenever the UC Surface mixer is engaged audio is in mono, so I have to disable it completely to work in stereo.

Are these all design decisions that are working intended? I feel like the constant restarting of the interface when switching between my DAW and standard PC operations shouldn't be! If it's not, is there anyway to stop this?
