I'm having really frustrating issues dealing with a Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 on Windows 7 64-bit. I've tried two firewire cards, and I just can't seem to get the audio working properly. On the first card (A Vantech FireWire card with a VIA chipset), the Saffire Mix Control would recognize the hardware, but I was getting very frequent audio. Correct drivers are used, thus preventing any unexpected behaviour. The Saffire PRO 40 requires power, supplied via the included power cable. Saffire PRO 40 units shipped from Summer 2013 come with a 6-pin to 9-pin firewire cable (Firewire 400-800). You may only have a 6-pin Firewire 400 connector on your computer.

It has nothing to do with modular but Focusrite don’t want to add this info on their site or their faq, so…

Basicly all new fresh windows 10 installations with a focusrite saffire pro 40 will need that driver, i think… It might be due to the fact there’s OEM versions of win 10 or something just not including that particular driver needed to run properly the focusrite interfaces using the firewire drivers.

I tried 3 different firewire cards on my asus motherboard z270 (it was working fine on a old asus p6t on board firewire). I also tried many drivers and settings in the bios. I now have the firewire card they suggest on their site but i’m sure almost any firewire card will work fine.

Issue is simply that there’s no lock activated on the focusrite, or no sync, it detects it in the device manager (no issues or alerts) but it doesnt work at all.

So as soon as installed it, everything went back to normal.
In my case i’m using the Saffire Pro 40 but i guess it happens also with other ones.
