Hi Cheryl: It is funny you mention this just now, Mario Lang contacted me just this morning expressing the same if not a very similar problem. I recommend you cantact him and try to determine if it is the same problem. When did you notice this situation start? If it is the same condition then we need to figure out what has changed that the problem should show up now all of a sudden. I believe he is using the same ltlk driver as you also. Maybe we can determine if it also shows up with other synth drivers loaded.
