I understand that hibernate/standby is a windows operation but different sound cards handle differently. Some are not recognised by windows again and others sound isn't reproduced again when the computer comes out of hibernate/standby.
I also have heard numerous reports that usb sound cards give off a loud pop when ever the system boots/hibernates/standy which I haven't found a definitive answer as to whether this card does this.
I have read somewhere that you can get around some of these issues by running the sound card through a powered USB hub. However, this hub must remain powered until PC shutdown/standby/hibernate is complete and must be powered prior to bringing the PC back online. Even though the hub has a relatively low power consumption, I would rather avoid permanently powering the hub.
What other methods are you aware of that can get around this when a card experiences these issues?
