2. If the computer hibernates and is restored from
hibernated state, the midi in connection breaks. I
thought this was a problem with my midiman usb
converter, so I switched to a Creative Audigy ZS game
port. However, the same happens.

Simple, really, turn the hibernate function off.
If you need to put something in stand by, go to your
energy settings and just let the monitor swith off after
a while.

I would like to use hibernate, because the difference in
power consumption is quite substantial. For example, my
2.6g P4 draws 110 watts operating, 70 watts standby, and
0 watts hibernating.

You do understand that when a machine hibernates, it pretty well breaks
all
connections with outside I/O devices, right?

Anything that needs a 'sync' is going to lose it for sure.

Not inevitably. IME, firewire connections to external sound devices do
break. OTOH, usb connections to external hard drives generally restore when
the machine wakes up. So do HIDs (human interface devices, as defined by
Microsoft, to include typing keyboards and pointing devices.

When the Midiman 1x1 stopped working after a hibernate cycle, I did suspect
a problem of this nature. So I switched to the MIDI interface on the
Creative sound card. This is a simple, asynchronous interface similar in
nature to a serial port. The only device on it is a Fatar SL880 keyboard,
which is an output-only device.

If the Creative sound card driver is as well written as a typical serial
port driver, it should survive a hibernate sequence. OTOH, the problem may
be in the Cubase program itself. Perhaps it needs to get a new port handle
on wakeup, and fails to do so.
