Check one other thing, which I found was set wrong by Windows after I uninstalled my other Scarlett and installed the new one:

right click on the little speaker icon, lower right corner of the screen
click on Recording devices
select Focusrite USB
click Properties, Advanced tab
select 2 channel 16 bit 44100 Hz CD Quality
OK your way out

Also click on Playback and do the same thing.
