Yes Rharv, I followed focusrites instructions to the letter. I reverted back to host compliant firewire driver( was running on legacy), and installed the new ver2.0 driver. My saffire shows as the default audio device and saffire mix control is in my program file. Iam using a siig firewire card with texas inst. chips, one of the ones recommended by focusrite. The only fix i have seen on windows 7 forum is to open win 7 mixer applet and right click an empty area and put a check mark in the boxes that appear-show disabled devices + show disconnected devices. This fix has apparently helped others to see all their record inputs ( line, digital, stereo mix etc.) On win 7 forum they also say if this fix does not help, then you need to look for updated drivers. Focusrites ver2.0 is supposed to be the latest win 7 64 bit driver.
I realized that I never uninstalled the drivers for my onboard realtek sound,only disabled it in bios. I did a web search to see if this could interfere, but couln't find an answer. Do you know? Should I try uninstalling them in add remove programs? Thanks for your help....Bobby
