I've had this random audio freezing with my (new) Babyface.

- No audio output on output meters within Totalmix, and no output on speakers/headphones.
- Totalmix eating CPU, interface and meters lag.
- No activity on ASIO (Cubase 5), even within the internal mixer.

I usually reconnect, and it sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. I tried to trace it to connected USB devices on my system, and I finally discovered that the Wifi dongle (Netgear) is the culprit. When I pull the dongle out, audio suddenly starts playing again (in the middle of the track in WMP or Cubase). And when I plug it back in, the same strange behaviour starts again.

How do I find out of this is due to the Babyface being power-starved, or bandwidth-starved? What are my options in either case?

For now, I am pulling out the dongle when working on audio. I would love it if I could have net up all the time.
