Hey All - New Guy here...

I just got Focusrite's Scarlette 2i2 to use with my old Sonar 6.2.1 on a brand new Lenovo running Windows 7.

Installed the driver and - initially - everything worked great. But after I installed the effects package that came bundled with it Sonar started crashing the computer everytime you hit the stop button. Works great - hit stop - blue screen of death saying USB driver conflict.

I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling to no avail.

EVERYTHING else in the computer works with the Scarlette just fine - even my old Cakewalk!!!

I've checked the device manager, etc, etc, etc....

Oh, and one more thing - if I go back to using my old M-Audio Fast Track - Sonar works just fine.

HELP!!!!!

Thanks,

Go into Windows' device manager and see if you have any yellow exclamation marks next to any USB devices. If there are, see this MSDN article. A driver conflict occurs when two drivers attempt to take control of the same piece of hardware. Resolution may involve disabling one of the conflicting drivers, or updating/re-installing the drivers.

A few months ago: Win 8, sonar 8.5.3: hard computer crashes: Was the sound card driver. Couple of years ago, the blue screens were caused by a corrupted midiyoke file. Also: I always install windows updates in groups. Any hardware driver updates are installed one-at-a-time, with a restore point between. Video drivers are the worst for errors, and being the wrong driver for the machine. ====================== Dust is an issue: I use a small tankless compressor to blow dust from my and my clients computers. Blowing through power supply in both directions. I find vacuum cleaners work but do not blow as fast. Never suck inside electronics. Occasionally I have to manually clean fan fins. And I have replaced power supply fans. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ This forum software and Firefox do not play nice.
