This one is strange. When my computer goes to sleep and I wake that rascal up, my CH controls won't work unless I unplug the USB and plug back in. Have not had that happen before. Any ideas on that one?

I've had it happen - disabled sleep a long time ago, it seems to cause hardware & software problems alike

I never use sleep ... my computer is either on or off. Sounds like the computer "forgets" what USB devices are plugged in when it sleeps and needs reminding once woken up. I would disable sleep.
