Thanks for letting us know. I have a 1st gen 6i6, 8i8 (unused) and 18i20.
Background if it helps: there are three things involved: the device driver, the USB driver, and the MixControl software. For anyone interested, the MixControl for 2nd gen will not run on a 1st gen device.
I have experimented with Focusrite beta drivers before, to try to eliminate clicks and pops. I still have a click at the start of playback, which I attribute to using 24 bit recording in SONAR and 16-bit elsewhere. I got into a situation where the beta driver made things worse, and Support helped me to roll back. They were excellent and fast, but the rollback wasn't one step; several steps had to be followed including Device Manager.
