That's because PT was trying to use the ASIO driver and you were using the WDM or Direct driver with Audacity. The ASIO driver is not multi-client capable. Therefore, the ASIO driver won't share the interface with other devices. If you want to use the 2i2 with PT and have it be completely reliable, allowing you to open 44.1K or 48K sessions as desired, you should de-select the 2i2 as the Windows default Playback and Recording device. Anything already using the 2i2 when you load PT will be a potential conflict. While it might work OK when the sample rates are the same, it doesn't when there is a sample rate mismatch. When you do want to use the 2i2 with Audacity, select the 2i2 directly from the Audacity I/O menu in the transport.
