Softsqueeze/Squeezelite loses contact with USB DAC

Hi All
It's been a while. I'm glad this forum is still here after Logitech pulled the plug :)

I wasn't sure whether to post on the 3rd Party Software of the Linux discussion, but I thought it might be read by more people here.

My SB Classic died, so I set up my old Dell laptop running Ubuntu with Squeezelite and a HRT Music Streamer II USB DAC. It sounds excellent, but if I leave it alone for a day or two it doesn't work. Squeezelite is still running, and I can talk to it using iPeng etc, but no sound. A reboot restores it.

I tried Softsqueeze but the result is the same. I wonder if the USB port is timing out, and getting unmounted or something.

How can I test if the port is still working?
If it is the USB, can I change some config somewhere to prevent the problem?
Or, failing that, is there a workaround, like a way to "ping" the port every so often to keep it alive.

Thanks

Shane
