Just thought I'd leave this here for anyone who encounters the same issues I just worked through.

I bought a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 USB interface today, to run with Pro Tools 9.0.5 on an HP laptop running Win 7 64 Home Premium - and you think I could get the thing to work?

I couldn't get Pro Tools to record or play back with the 2i2 as the audio device. I could, however, get the 2i2 to work with Audacity.

I googled like mad, to no avail.

What I ended up doing was this:

1. Go to Control Panel > Hardware & Sound
2. Click on Manage Audio Devices
3. In the window that pops up, you'll be in the Playback tab
4. Click on the "Scarlett 2i2 USB" device
5. Click Properties.
6. In the next window that pops up, go to the Advanced tab
7. Change the Default Format to "2 channel, 16 bit, 48000 Hz (DVD Quality)"
8. Click OK
9. Click on the Recording tab and repeat steps 4, 5, 6, 7 & 8
10. Click OK again

Problem solved.

Hope this is of use to someone!
