I'm not a rowboat<p>When I use something like an external hard drive or CD-ROM, I have a stable connection whatever I do, moving the computer etc. However, with my external audio interface, only a slight touch to the USB plug causes an abrupt end of connection and the need to reconnect. </p><p>Can anybody tell me the connection is so much more fragile in this case? </p><p><a href="https://oslo.town/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>linux</span></a> <a href="https://oslo.town/tags/usb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>usb</span></a> <a href="https://oslo.town/tags/linuxAudio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>linuxAudio</span></a></p>
