Saffire mixcontrol 3.7 update#
I have even tried the Mix Control 3.7 update which is a software fix and this is a hardware issue, so that didn't work.Īny ideas and solutions would be greatly appreciated. (If this is the case, then you may be able to reset the channel using MixControl. I found that the digital output from the Focusrite does not always go to Channel 2 (stereo) on Audacity, but sometimes as two mono channel inputs on channels 3-7 in the Audacity dropdown menu. Through some research I learnt that it was possible to use an official Apple thunderbolt to firewire 800 adaptor which I purchased a day ago and it still doesn’t work. Select the channel - this is the dropdown menu just right of centre. (however with that being mentioned I haven’t tried to use a firewire 800 HDD because I don't own one, so that’s still a question) Could it be that the Saffire range has an average working time frame before they damage the Apple firewire bus or at least the data transfer aspect.

Both the 24 and 56 were working again until recently when the same thing happened yet again! After many years with this experience I became even more cautious but the same challenge persisted. I was more careful but eventually the same thing happened to the 13inch.Īfter some time, because I like the Saffire interfaces (and I’m a big fan of Focusrite in general) I upgraded to the Saffire Liquid 56 and the Mac Pro (Mid 2012). (hence the “ No Hardware Connected” error)Īfter acquiring my second MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012), and the Saffire being responsive once more I attributed this malfunction to a "fried" firewire bus due to the human error of occasionally disconnecting and reconnecting the interface with both my laptop and interface already booted (which is a NO NO). macOS Big Sur and Apple Silicon product compatibility.

I have been using a Saffire Pro 24 since 2012 with a MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2009) and it served me very well until one day when it suddenly stopped working.
