Since trying Scratch Live and Video SL on my new Windows 7, 64 Bit machine, a catastrophic problem occurs when I am playing; out of nowhere, the sound stops coming out of the box and into the mixer. Everything else appears fine, my videos keep projecting on my extended desktop (when SL happens to be running), the waveforms are moving, I can drag new tracks onto the decks, it responds to cueing, etc. I have been able to fix this by unplugging and plugging the USB cable for the SL box or powering down the TTM 57 mixer and then turning back on, but as you can imagine, this kills the dance floor. All power management (screensaver, hdd, etc) is disabled and all other programs are shut down. Here are my machine specs:

Asus G51jx-A1
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Intel Core i7 720QM(1.60GHz)
6 GB DDR3 RAM
SL1 box and TTM57 mixer
NVIDIA GTS360M

I've contacted ASUS for a BIOS update, but they haven't released a new version for this issue and claim that it is caused by a compatibility problem of USB controllor in the new chipsets from intel. Furthermore, they stated that Microsoft has yet to release an update for resolving this kind of problem.

Is there another avenue for me to pursue? Has Serato or Rane identified a work around? Please assist asap, otherwise I just bought a $1,500 paper weight.
