Hi Laurence,
Just a stab: it's unlikely an oscillator is coming up on different
frequencies but it may be that in one 'mode' it's using the USB device's
clock and in the other cuddly Widnows is nicely using it's
sample-rate-converter on you. How to make it stop doing that I don't
know - boot order or such?
Cheers,
Steve

Im using an external 24 bit sound blaster (USB) @ 96k on one of the dell
pc's in Alaska and not sure if its the PC or the card but it
occasionally and annoyingly on PC reboot "moves" 20Hz or so (dang it) -
so here I am looking at DCF39 and in fact its off the scale somewhere
for a couple of days - that and Stefan may have been visible but I was
looking/cal'd in the wrong place.
It apparently flips to one rate or another - checking up what it flipped
to last time comes up with the same cal figure using Argo. Highly
annoying but not being able to physically throttle the devices
(electronically or physically!) Im a bit restrained. As an example in
one state using Argo cal of 1000Hz the offset is 1003.2 and
alternatively 1023.7 Hz - Not sure if anyone else has seen a simliar
issue but its annoying - it appears only to "flip" when the PC is
booted. At the moment its on spec and giving a nice daylight view of
DCF39 or the 137.777 window - Ill move it down to 136.172 and HGA22
windows later
