Thanks Tim,

I guess I phrased my statement in a misleading way. When I say I shut
everything down, the PC was not part of that. I only shut down N1MM+ and
the radio. So the ports did not change.

I have checked and everything is still configured to use the correct audio
sources over the USB cable.
