PT 12.7.1 would not see my Firewire connection!
 

My Laptop is running the latest OS update, and the PT is 12.7.1.

I spent hours trying to get a Venue console to speak to Protools.

My computer had no problem seeing the Firewire through the computer Audio devices showing 18in /18out, but when I ran PT, the FW was NOT in any option for me to connect with.
Rebooted many times, no differences. Even deleted the library file and let PT rebuild it. Still nothing.

Any ideas?
