Dear Georgian and all, I got it all working finally. The audio was failing because my two 2408s had their connections reversed which meant that the master bus was routed to the wrong 2408. The problem with the MIDI connections was a little more difficult. Somehow, the synths got crossed up so that they were in the wrong order. This caused all my drum maps to be out of order and my instrument definitions to be incorrectly assigned. The solution was to remove the MIDI Yoke outputs and the USB outputs I had and put the hardware outputs at the top. Then I added back the USB and MIDI Yoke outputs and now everything is back in the correct order. thanks to Luis Alorza for all his help. Phil, this is one that you might even want to put in your database if you haven't already.

However, that doesn't explain why an all audio project doesn't play. Do you have Skype? If you do, I'm kevjazz.

Also, all my synth outputs are in a different order than they were before I sent the DAW into the shop. No idea why.
