I experience the exact same issue with Sonar X3 Producer. My H9000r is Gen1/2.2 connected to a Windows 10 PC via ethernet. I work in 48 kHz/32-bit float and the first project always loads. After closing a project and then opening another one or sometimes two, the H9000r will not connect in Sonar. The solution is to close Sonar and connect to the H9k using the emote desktop app. After that, projects load correctly. To avoid the connect failure, my workflow is open project > close project > open emote and connect > close emote > open project. It’s not a major issue as you said and I’ve gotten used to the workaround. The H9000 is otherwise rock solid in a DAW last updated in 2016. I assumed the issue was related to the driver or emote plugin since Sonar X3 loads projects without issues with other modern VST2/VST3 plugins and devices I’ve used. Someone with another DAW experiencing the same issue seems to support that possibility.
