I keep seeing all these poor reviews because of "bad drivers" on Windows

While the iTrack worked as a piece of hardware and required little to no installation, the Scarlett Solo required a driver to be installed

(Old gen)Issues:- Driver only shows 16/24 bit, 1/2 channel, 44.1/48Khz options, no others.- Audio input is quiet

a couple times my PC would not discover it and found out my drivers were corrupted and needed new ones

For w/e reason, the drivers for this interface are just really bad

Terrible driver support

no driver issues

I got the wrong driver

Issue is the ASIO driver.

Driver is horrible

Shame because like I said, it was a decent little until for the money while it lasted, even despite the annoying driver issues.

Time and time again, no matter the change and by going through TWO of the products the drivers are apparently the issue

With other USB interfaces I had trouble finding current drivers, but I had no trouble setting the Scarlett up on Windows 10.I haven't used the instrument input, and my mic doesn't use phantom power, so I can't comment on those features

I find this to be annoying and feel there are better options for the price such as a steinberg ur12 which seems to have better drivers and support for windows.

USB audio devices work natively in Windows and OSX without proprietary drivers or audio line spikes

So the drivers are a mess (I have the latest focusrite driver installed) and I can only hear everything out of one ear (when through my PC I hear both).

Just make sure you have the right drivers installed!

I waited until MAYBE new improved drivers came out (which did).

I'm assuming the blue screens were caused by poor drivers, but I can't be too sure about that.

only use this device for lp transfers, as with the first Gen you get no coloring which is a plus, what I hear on my record is what I hear when recorded with this unit, as described the Gen two has better channel balance which was a pain with Gen one, I have not tried recording with 192, for vinyl it's most likely overkill, drivers were successful on a Win 10 setup, One issue I did have was my various DAW's not being able to pull the audio from a USB 3 PCI card, (My Gen one did) but using the USB port directly on my PC worked fine, lower latency, less stress on the PC was a nice welcome also the extra headroom for those hot 12 inch singles was also a

I just wish the drivers were stable enough to not worry about when the audio will give.

If you downloaded the wrong driver, you have to back that out and install the proper one

But the drivers for Windows 10 are horribly unstable.

It's gonna malfunction or worse, the drivers are bad

Found little bit tricky driver to install

The ASIO drivers don't work properly

Better drivers would fix this

Proprietary drivers that do not allow any software to change the sample rate

This is by far the best audio amp for the price, it improves audio quality significantly and also looks very good, very simple driver installation and after that it's a breeze to use, so the quality of this preamp and the simple and convenient setup lead me to provide this 5 star review,

After installing the official drivers I lose all under 192kh but I gained asio

This driver caused a lot of problems to my computer and usually didn't work properly."Did you install the

you want sanity, go my route with the iRig or get the Steinberg and Behringer devices that get good reviews and BETTER drivers.

Driver issues with windows.

I downloaded the correct drivers and everything, to no avail

Focusrite's driver for this hardware unit was not digitally signed---so I had to go download Windows patches so that the computer would accept a sketchy unsigned driver.

Not exactly good when all of a sudden in the middle of the night the speakers in the kids' room start suddenly emitting a super loud high pitched sound when the driver decides to crash.

While the audio quality was solid and I really like the hardware, the drivers constantly froze FL Studio and bluescreened my computer

The drivers are terrible - plugging this thing into any USB port on my machine will either freeze the machine, or disable other USB devices on the same bridge (e.g. keyboard and mouse just stop working)

Terrible driver support

The drivers were readily available, and there are tons of videos and other tutorials all over the internet for it.

The drivers on the other hand are pretty bad got me to the point of returning this product

People having problems may be using the wrong drivers and not understanding how to connect and configure this

Works out of the box on my Win, Mac and Linux boxes as simple plug and play (did download Win drivers as in the instructions though)

but now every 10-30 minutes it decides to turn itself off making my DAW error out because of a failed sound driver which means i have to keep reloading projects

Easy to install (download ASIO drivers from focusright web page)No drivers problems in

My old audio interface (Line6 POD Studio UX2) died and I was getting really sick of some of Line6's business practices (hardware dongles, slow driver updates) and also wanting to get away from modeling and, instead, record more simply: just putting mics on cabs

Very little customer support, the drivers are terrible

Just remember to download the right driver's.

I ended up going with the Steinburg UR MKII instead, which has great drivers, and similar audio quality

Their drivers are useless and the "fixes" they suggest leave your system wide open (disabling antivirus, disabling DAP, etc)

I love this thing in and of itself, but if it's made unusable by bad drivers, why waste your money

drivers for the scarlet are bad but the product is okay

Disastrous drivers that don't work.

The drivers have some serious stability issues on windows

The hardware itself seems solid, but their drivers clearly have some massive, massive issues.

Hopefully this latest driver keeps it working

rock solid build quality-preamp is pretty goodcons:-horrible drivers depending on what your using for me with a amd cpu and windows 10 nothing but audio drop outs and crashes.-very unstable works when it wants to.

I tried the latest drivers and beta drivers, I also disabled a bunch of things through out windows that focusrite recomends with NO luck

It came with a USB cable and the driver was easy to find on the Focusrite website

Th driver that their intro video instructed me to download didn't work with my Windows 7 system

But one problem -- the correct driver EXE is stopped by Norton Utilities as being "unsafe" and will not open

Very little customer support, the drivers are terrible

Both the first gen and second gen versions of this device has very piss poor drivers that make the unit very subpar for DAW applications.

My laptop installed the driver with no problems and everything works fine

After all, without good drivers, the device becomes an expensive brick!

Totally clean and quiet I/O. Plus, I love the look of the box
