I haven't had one problem with Reaper, but I've had this same problem you're mentioning with ProTools - total pain in the butt, very very frustrating!

How do you have the quad capture hooked up to your computer?
Ctrl+P to get to Preferences, then select Audio Device from the left menu. Under Audio System, select ASIO. Then look and see what's available under ASIO Driver. After that, enable the inputs and outputs for your ASIO device (I'm assuming the Quad Capture - but this will depend on how it's hooked up).
That's where I'd start, anyhow.

This was the screen until a few days ago ..

The quad capture looks very M-Audio...... If I remember correctly, M-Audio, Sapphire, Roland, Sonar, etc. are all basically the same unit..... at least past units (firewire, for instance).
The M-Audio had a long history of faulty/flakey drivers. They would work things out over time, but lots and lots of people on the forums would complain.
Not saying that this is necessarily true today, or that this is the problem with your USB unit, but I have been able to find driver issue complaints with a brief search of a few forums.....
Is it possible that Reaper keeps losing your Quad and that is why it won't let you choose anything but Wave (which is probably the built-in sound card).
Have you tried looking for updated drivers, or have you tried reinstalling the driver files when Reaper can't find your interface? Those would be common troubleshooting steps.

TRYING THIS
Open the Start menu. Right-click on Computer and choose Properties.
Click on Device Manager in the upper left corner.
In the Device Manager window, double-click on Universal Serial Bus Controllers.
Double-click on the first USB Root Hub item.
Click on the Power Management tab.
Uncheck the box that says 'Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power.' and click OK.
Repeat this process for all other USB Root Hub items.

Huh????
2 things -
1- don't ever check the box that allows the computer to turn off the usb root hubs if you depend on the usb connection for something to operate at all times.
2- Look for device drivers for you Quad... not for Reaper.
If you have an updated version of Reaper, leave it be. It's the Quad that I said might have faulty drivers, remember?

In fact, if you're that uncertain as to what I meant, or what to do on your own, then don't do anything yourself.
Give those suggestions to someone who can check the computer out for you.

I have two builders/techs > I have used regularly in the past years-- none understand the logistics of music software/setup ..

Looking for soundcard/interface driver updates and checking to see that the interface is being recognized by a software daw is really basic stuff for a builder or tech. They don't have to know how to operate the daw beyond opening it.
After they think they've "fixed" things, they can watch YOU select the device to use in Reaper's options, then drop some wave files into a session and play them - maybe render a quick, no fuss test mix... Then close the session, reboot the pc and see if the device is continuing to be recognized.
They don't have to rebuild the entire computer and they don't need to be music software gurus, or engineers to do those simple things.
If things seem to be holding after a few reboots, then fine - you should be off and running again.
If not, then it might take more of a deeper understanding of how computers and hardware work to troubleshoot the issue. Still, they don't need to be audio engineers. They just have to know how to tweak a computer for solid performance.
The quad can't be a dud, if there are so many people around that use it without complaint - still, there are driver-related complaints and there's always the chance that it just won't play nice with certain combinations of hardware and software. That's the point at which a computer tech needs to be experienced with music-related gear, needs and expectations.

Sounds like driver file issues to me, as I suggested before.

WAVE OUT still default -- at least it is continuing to operate as a mixdown.... audio doesn't sound any different from the once setting of ASIO ...
