TopicPosted on 05/24/2014 at 10:22:01Issues installing Saffire pro 40
To start off with I'm running an AMD Quad core Phenom 9850. 4gig ram running win7
I followed the directions to a T but still it doesn't see the unit. Its listed in Device Manager, however its not finding the driver.
The prceedure I used in installing the unit is as follows:
The contained disk didn't auto start. I proceeded to install mix control assuming that would contain the needed driver.
The I downed the computer and connected the firewire cable between the unit and computer. Powered up both the computer then the unit. ( I get the failed device insertion sound)I started mix control. I got no hardware connected. I looked in Device Manager and notice the unit was in there but had an exclamation point on it.
What am I not doing??
Thanks in advance,
Hans

Turns out its very finicky about what firewire card is used in conjunction with the Saffire Pro 40.
I found that the PDF suggested using the SIIG FireWire 2-Port PCIe Model NN-E20012-S2 Dual. Found one on Ebay for 38 bucks. Problem solved
