My problem is:
When I playback a recorded track or the 'Protools Demo Track' there is a 'static' sound randomly through the track. By 'randomly' I mean I could play the track several times and it would be in different spots.
If I bounce the track down to mp3 then play the track back through the same computer there is still random static on the playback via the computer....
However if I play the track on a separate computer there is no static on the playback from the bounced down mp3 track.

This could be a number of different things. I would first make sure you are using balanced cables to connect your speakers to your Saffire Pro 40. Unbalanced cables could account for this static. If this is a software issue we would be glad to help you further via our tech support page:

Number 2 issue:
With playback from the Protools, I can use the Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 interface to get audio to playback from PT to my monitor speakers. So that is with the PT engine setting on Saffire, but I don't get any headphone send for monitoring from the computer via PT.
If I change the PT engine settings to the computer sound card, (and I recently downloaded a generic one ASIO4ALL v2 to get PT to open at all on the computer when not connected via the interface engine) ....although I can play a cd eg., in the computer I am using and hear it in the headphones..... I can't hear playback from PT if it is playing a song in the headphone send on the computer.

If you are able to get audio out of your Monitor Speakers you should be able to get audio out of your headphones by connecting them to the Headphone plugs on the front of the Saffire Pro 40. If these are silent you should check the Monitor Section of your Saffire MixControl to make sure the Monitor Control Enable Buttons 7-10 are grey and not blue or red. This will enable them to be controlled fully by the Volume Knobs above the Headphone Outputs. This is further explained on page 19 of the Saffire Pro 40 User Guide which you can download here:
