May 05, 2017 USB audio driver in USB Audio Player/Recorder PRO and Audio Evolution Mobile. Last update: May 8, 2021. EXtream Software Development has written a custom USB audio driver from scratch because Android did not support USB audio until Android 5.
It has nothing to do with modular but Focusrite don’t want to add this info on their site or their faq, so…
Basicly all new fresh windows 10 installations with a focusrite saffire pro 40 will need that driver, i think… It might be due to the fact there’s OEM versions of win 10 or something just not including that particular driver needed to run properly the focusrite interfaces using the firewire drivers.

I tried 3 different firewire cards on my asus motherboard z270 (it was working fine on a old asus p6t on board firewire). I also tried many drivers and settings in the bios. I now have the firewire card they suggest on their site but i’m sure almost any firewire card will work fine.
Issue is simply that there’s no lock activated on the focusrite, or no sync, it detects it in the device manager (no issues or alerts) but it doesnt work at all.
So as soon as installed it, everything went back to normal.
In my case i’m using the Saffire Pro 40 but i guess it happens also with other ones.
