Glad it worked and yeah it is fuxxored but that's how it goes. I don't fully understand it but I think it is simply because Windows Sounds are at a specific set samplerate and forces the soundcard to use that... which then fracks up the samplerate setting you chose for your own stuff.
 
I think MAYBE the way around this is to allow your onboard sound to handle the system sounds and just have the interface for your audio programs. Some people here do that (BobBone is one) but I honestly can't be arsed and I don't give a crap about system sounds.
 
Cheers and welcome to the forum.

hahaha, yeah I can't be bothered with all the carp lol.  I'm fine with having my Rokits setup through my interface and having my critical audio apps work rather than fussing with OS sounds.  Thanks again mate!

Just happy to help (I have not been doing enough of that lately).
 
Perhaps a bit of a cheater approach (I'd rather give a proper explanation which would provide decisive and informed control but I have none) but really there so much to keep track of I've gotten to the point of "make it bloody work and I'll sort out the fancy crap if it starts holding me back).
 
In this case... I really have no love for system sounds. I don't need little beeps, squonks and strange sounding computer ladies yelling at me all the time. It's annoying and often times jarring/frightening. I hate listening to something intently with my entire pea brain focusing on something then getting blasted by some MS sound. Puts me in "fight or flight" mode for a second which is extra bizarre when you're sitting in a room totally by yourself.
 
lulz...
 
Cheers.

Next check the default modes in Windows for the device and set them to what you are using in SONAR. If the system is "using" the driver, SONAR cannot change the sample rate/bit depth. That pop up you are getting suggests Windows is bringing the Scarlett online (and locking it when anything accesses it), and your SONAR settings are different. If the system is allowed to use the device, be sure to set settings in Windows first.

Updated to Windows 10 and now Sonar won't work with this interface even with the latest drivers.  Anyone else having this problem?

 
You need to download the beta driver from Focusrite's website. You may also have to update the firmware. I have an 18i20 and it works great on Win 10 Pro.
 
Just do a search on their site for win 10 drivers. Should get you there.
 
HTH,
