(SOLVED) Not getting any input or output Sonar

 
I had posted this in the Sonar section but thought I'd post this here since this is more of a hardware issue I suspect. Are any of you using this particular mother board?
 
on a new pc I just built. Fresh O/S and apps install.
specs: ASUS H170M System board
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6500 CPU @3.20GHz 16GB Ram
SIIG NN-E20012-S2 Firewire card TI chipset. I was using this card in my HP so I know it works and Assume it's compatible with this new system.
Here's what's going on and I want to note that this issue is not just with Sonar, Same with Studio One 3. I also unistalled Sonar and re-installed it.
interface Saffire pro 24
If I plug in my guitar to the Focusrite (doesn't matter which input)I get an input signal on the interface and in Mixcontrol and can hear what I'm playing through my monitors. When I open a blank project and insert a new track, arm it to record there is no signal, meter activity or sound in Sonar. Even if I use Sonar's input monitor instead of mixcontrols. Also There is a 4 or more second lag from when I click to arm the track.
If I open a new project, add a track and import a guitar track for example (wave file) when I press the space bar or click the play on the transport there is a 4 second delay then platback begins but there is no sound or meter activity. Sonar will also white out and I have to close it. When that happens I have to reboot because Sonar won't load again.
I hope you guys can help me figure this out. I'm in a boat without a paddle.
Thanks
 
Since posting this in the Sonar section I un-installed the Focusrite and installed my old Presonus Firebox. I had better results as far as communication with Sonar and Studio One but the sound is extremely distorted and dragging. I tried everything I could think of. Disabling all on board audio, video and installed my NVidia graphics card to see if that made a difference but it didn't. I don't know what the Focusrite driver and or firewire cardcould be conflicting with.
 
I don't know why this got posted here and not in hardware sorry

    Can you get sound out of your interface from iTunes or Youtube?

    Turns out my SIIG firewire card is not compatible with this ASUS motherboard or the board doesn't like the SIIG.
