What does "the 7/8 button would drop out" mean? Surely not that the
button falls out of the panel and on to the floor. That would indeed
be abmormal. Is there a light that goes on to indicate that those
inputs are active and that light goes off along with the loss of
signal?

Of course it's not common, or if it was, you'd have heard about it
long ago. That unit has been around for a year or so now. Does the
problem occur even when you're not recording? Can you isolate the
interface from the computer so you can be sure the computer (route
those inputs to an output you can monitor and turn off the computer)?

Can you get another unit from your dealer to try?
