So I've been using Audition 1.5 and an M-audio Firewire 410 input
device for well over a year now, no problems.
Recently I've been recording from old record players, starting and
stopping the player, changing the speed, basically warping the vinyl
records as I record them.
Today I started trying to record several tracks of starting and
quickly stopping the record player. This works for about 20-30 second,
then suddenly the sound stops, audition stops recording, the marker
point keeps moving but even the colored background the is created as
it normally records goes away. When I stop to check the input device,
it has changed from the Firewire 410 to 'IDT Audio 1'. A reboot brings
things back to normal.
If I record anything else, or play back what I have so far of the
session, everything is fine, but as soon as I start recording the
turntable starting and stopping, the same thing happens. It's as if
this type of sound causes the hardware or softare or OS to suddenly in
mid-recording change the input device.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on? I didn't think it would
matter what sound is going in, how can that affect things this way?

"Starting and stopping," huh... I imagine you're toggling the
turntable's power switch and that generates a big spike that gets into
the computer and mucking with the soundcard setting.

There may be a few things you could do, but I second Richard's
advice. I wouldn't want to turn anything on OR off anywhere near a
turntable while recording from it.

It's as if
this type of sound causes the hardware or softare or OS to suddenly in
mid-recording change the input device.

In Audition go to options / device order / recording devices
move everything but the firewire to unused recording devices
make sure the firewire has a [EV} after it
