Hello,
I been struggling with this problem for hours and still no solution. I have a Hp pavilion windows 7 64 bit, and just bought the Focurite
Saffire pro 24. Everything I try has not worked, when I go to open Saffire mixcontrol it says no hardware connected. I've went into bios and disabled my soundcard, uninstalled saffire software, reinstalled a few times. I've went with the recommended driver (Legacy)with the new software mixer from Focusrite. I can't think of anything else to do. I know others with windows 7 have this interface and they've got it to work.
Any help would be appreciated. Also my computer firewire matches what came with the interface, as I thought they didn't. Normally windows 7 detects new devices but it didn't this time. Thanks to all who can help me out.
