Default Why can't I hear my recorded audio in Pro Tools M-Powered 7.4?

Here's what I did (I'll be detailed as to avoid you having to write back so many times).:

I recorded a band yesterday afternoon with my Octane and Project Mix I/O. But, what I did was use the Octane as my tracks "1-8" to use the preamps on the drums, and the Project Mix as my tracks "9-11" for overheads, and scratch bass. I was able to hear playback at the session, but when I got home and set up my gear again, I couldn't hear any playback at all.

I could see where the audio is supposed to be on the edit window, but couldn't see the actual sound waves on all 11 tracks. The bars are completely empty. It keeps giving the warning "Missing Files" every time I open the session. I clicked on "Automatically Find & Relink," but it never recovered a single track.

I also went into the "I/O settings" for the session and once again selected "Default." Was it a mistake to reconfigure the "I/O Input" again after recording with the "Default" settings that I originally ended up with after making the Octane tracks "1-8" as opposed to the traditional 9-16?

There was also an error before I shut down my computer. I was playing back the session for the band when the audio stopped on it's own, it said: CPU overload, and to increase the buffer size on the playback engine. I had to turn off my gear before I could check it because we were being rushed to leave, and I don't remember if I pressed save or not. I'm going to be getting more RAM soon to avoid that message from popping up.

Yeah I know it's a lot, what should I do?

Thanx for your time,
Miguel
