Focusrite has new Driver. 3.6 for Windows. that fixed the problem with 24/96recording
in Sonar. they work great.
 
 

Thanks for the hind!

FWIW this seems to be for the complete Saffire range, even though there is no update to 3.6 on the LS 56 ŵeb page.

Seems to be right ( except the interfaces, which are not builded anymore,like the saffire LE)
cause till now I installed the same driver for all my focusrite saffire devices-
have 3 different  of them.

I was curious about the above post and tried it with my Saffire LE.  Unfortunately the new MixControl 3.6 does not appear to recognise the Saffire LE.  It is not surprising since it has long been a "legacy" product and they had stopped supporting it some  time ago.  Still it is a great little interface and has never given me any problems.
 
I must say I was disappointed with Focusrite when they stopped supporting the plugins that came with it.  This seemed a bit mean (stingy)  since they did include similar, supported addins with their newer products.  How much would it cost for them to give them to those who had bought the older interfaces?  This experience will certainly make me think twice about purchasing their products in the future.

Sorry for you, that the Saffire Le is not supported by new drivers anymore.
Have you registerd your inteface ?
Then have have the chance to get the red plug ins of focusrite for free in your account,
you know?

Received this from Focusrite, thought it might be of interest here :

"Currently we are still testing Mix Control 3.6 with other Saffires with the intention of fully releasing 3.6 for other Saffires very soon.
You should be able to use 3.6 with your LS56, however please note that there may be some issues that we're not aware of. If this is the case, you can revert to Mix Control 3.4/3.5, although we'd ask that you do report the issue to us."

Great news !

Cheers,
Jerry

I'm having a problem with this update on my pro24. Two things have happened. I sometimes use the safely remove hardware option when I want to turn off my pro24. I get a message that there is still an application running and to close the app and try again. There is no app running so the drive is not letting go of something but nothing shows in the task manager. The other thing that happened and is why I re-installed 3.4 is that I couldn't get any sound output in any project. All routing was fine but just no sound.
 
I'm going to report this to Focusrite.

This clears most issues with mix control..
Uninstall
Reboot
Install latest mix control.
In the mix control menu perform all resets/defaults.
Set it up again.
Save to hardware and backup your settings.
 
Also check antivirus isn't getting in the way, and disable it in windows control panel sounds. In Sonar prefs don't share out your driver.
 
Cheers...

Another thing.. Don't use the legacy windows FireWire driver. Focusrite do not recommend it any more.
