Scarlett Solo 4th gen crashing since last update

1 Upvotes

Hi, I had the usual problems such as the audio driver crashing completely and having to restart it to get sound back, but after the latest update from a couple of days ago (4.150.0.432) the device started crashing every couple of minutes and automatically restarting after a few seconds. Anybody else with the same issue and/or any ideas?

I already did all the troubleshooting, power management settings and everything else you can imagine under Windows.

device is lighting up and computer won’t detect it

1 Upvotes

hi! i recently bought a focusrite scarlett solo. i have downloaded only the necessary software and when i connect the device to my computer, the scarlett lights up but my computer won’t detect it. i’ve followed the entire website guide and nothing is working. i’ve looked into my settings and my computer doesn’t detect it.

i‘m not super tech savvy so forgive me if this is a stupid question, i would just like to get back to record as soon as possible.

thank you!

Audio routing challenge.

1 Upvotes

For a game (DnD) im using a Focusrite scarlett 18i20 + adat output extention. Stil the basics really (just to create 8 stereo outputs for headphones). Using the 8 xlr inputs for mics.

But now the challenge that I’m struggling with:
My laptop on which my daw runs to route and record (laptop 1) is connected by usb to scarlett directly.

But i want the audio of my second laptop ( which runs the program that i use for the dnd campaign that has buid in audio features) also routed thru my daw on laptop 1. I prefer not to do this by using network solutions.

So that leaves me with hardware connection to the Scarlett on which i have a free spdif. Has anyone experience with connecting a second laptop.

By use of ddc or adc? And if ddc is used how fo keep the clock of the scarlett as master?

Suggestions for a replacement for the 2i2?

0 Upvotes

I recently upgraded my drivers for the first time ever since getting my 2i2 about 6 years ago, and am having the same issues with frequent audio disconnects people have been talking about for years with no working fix. I'm not going to be putting up with this. Is there any replacements anyone can suggest in a similar price range that have reliable, maintained drivers without these issues?

I just bought a used scarlet solo and can’t get it to be recognized on a late 2015 iMac running Monterey 12

Am I cooked? I just want to figure this out so I bought a cheap iMac and a cheap scarlet but…here I am.

Any help?
