Focusrite 2.0 Audio Driver Crashes Program

[DarkEco]

I'm having serious issues getting my Scarlett 6i6 to work with Pro Tools. When i select its audio driver the program just crashes. Every time. I've tried reinstalling and it's still doing it. I've never had a problem with any other DAW and i'm flipping out because i need this to work for a University project!! I've had it working through the built in audio with ASIO4ALL but i need my interface to record. Any ideas?

Also it doesn't seem to be reading my Ultranova (for MIDI). It's USB connected and my other DAWs read it fine.

EDIT: I've solved the first problem (sample rate issue), but i now have new one! I opened up XPand!2 to test the sound and i got this hurrendous repeating clipping sound, like a feedback loop. I switched my engine to work for playback instead of recording and it seems to have fixed the problem, but what do i do if i want to record?! What difference does the playback/record engine optimisation make?

I'm also trying to get low latency monitoring to work without cutting my audio out and i've read that you need to go into the I/O menu, but i can't find it anywhere under the Setup tab!

There are a few threads around discussing the problems with focusrite drivers...long story short I just returned my 6i6

You could try installing the latest (3.2.2) usb driver. It's working for my 2i4 on Win7

(I'm assuming you're on the Windows platform)

I've installed the new driver and there has been an improvement in sound when i optimise the engine for recording, but it's still terrible and crackly. Optimising the engine for playback works perfectly, but i don't know what limitations this when it comes to recording, if somebody would care to explain? When i play my guitar in the playback optimisation there is a lot of latency.

Can somebody tell me how to get my MIDI devie to work? I have a Novation Ultranova connected via USB to my PC. My other DAWs have no problem reading it but it's not listed in Pro Tools. Is there something i'm forgetting?
