Protools could not initialize audio driver
 

Whenever I try click the play button I get this message: "Protools could not initialize the Focusrite USB 2.0 audio driver. Please make sure that the device has been configured correctly." I've had this problem way in the past when I first got protools and can't remember how I fixed it. It was working perfectly fine before and just randomly I get this message :/ I tryed pressing N at the splash screen and changing it to all the different options but that either didn't change anything or I'd just get a different error message in its place so help would be appreciated

I've had the same problem. I feel your pain. I got PT to work the first night I installed. Since then, a month and a half later, i still haven't made one recording. As for the "could not initialize Focusrite 2.0", I did a clean uninstall of PT 11 and it got rid of that error. Now PT crashes as soon as I hit the record button. It did give me the Focusrite error once more and I relaunched and it went back to crashing. For this kind of money it should run itself. I can't get a recording with just one mic. I do know that if you don

If you don't install the audio hardware driver before re-installing PT it will give you that error
