The audio device buffer underflowed (-6085) - Was working fine yesterday

[Silverwolf90]

Hello everyone,

So I'm getting this error that says "The audio device buffer underflowed...etcetc (-6085)"

Using an MBox 2 on a Dell Inspiron N5010 with Windows 7

The thing is it was working flawlessly with Superior Drummer 2.0 and a few audio tracks yesterday. However, today, even with only one track turned on and all plug-ins removed I can't play a single track for more than a few seconds. I've fooled around and mixed and matched different hardware playback settings (the buffers, cache size, etc) and nothing has worked.

My audio is on an external G-Drive connected via eSATA. (Although Superior Drummer's files are on my internal drive, but like I said, I turned off all plug-ins and still got the error). Any help would be great.
