Hello folks,
Anyone using the Focusrite Control with a 2nd Gen Scarlett? My slider controls do nothing at all, in Mix Control (1st Gen) I could balance everything out in there using the sliders. Probably just a setting somewhere, Cheers -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE  “Success is not obtained overnight.

Thanks Ben,
Yes it is set to default audio device. None of the sliders work in this pic. I'm out of my studio now buddy but anything you say I can check out tomorrow. Thank you.

A cold start doesn't change it. The sliders do absolutely nothing other than slide for any application. It's probably been like it since install but I haven't been doing much recording. I found Mix Control great for balancing guitar input and backing, obviously it can be done other ways but it's just simpler using Control

I'll try that this evening buddy. If that doesn't work I'll uninstall and r reinstall. I was just hoping someone would say "make sure you've tick the wottsit setting"

Well I thought it had sorted it but without even turning the computer off, just doing some work in Excell and Word, it has gone back to not working, even factory reset doesn't work.
Further to above, here is what it looks like after a full re-install. Look how low the output meters are. I can't control a thing I might as well not even open Focusrite Control. Before I did the Re-install the output meters were hitting the red and I had to use the YouTube volume to bring it down, in that image the YouTube volume is maxed out!!!!!!!!!!  Just when you think everything is getting back on track something else comes up. Sometimes I think it would be less stress just watching the TV, you waste so much time sorting out the crap and not getting to practise you wonder if it's all worth it

So it plays back at a low volume if I understand correctly. Have you tried a different USB port in your computer? Both 2.0 and 3.0 etc?

Not really at low volume because I can alter it with the main vol knob on the Scarlett but the meters don't change.
I'll try another usb socket. I have got it into my powered hub though, maybe that's it, thing is I have the Scarlett as my sound card for two computers. I ran my 1st Gen from my hub for a long time, no problems. -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

It does go up and down with the music, but I can't max out or silence the sound with the slider.

Look at the output meter in the last one, that is with the same YouTube video as the first screenshot. The difference is that one the first screen shot the YouTube sound slider was at less than a 1/4 up, on the second screen shot the YouTube video was at maximum.
It's all odd and the sliders have zero impact on anything. This post has been edited by Phil66: Jan 7 2019, 01:05 PM -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

I'll do a video this evening buddy. The meters wouldn't change if I put the sliders to the opposite end of where they are, the sliders do nothing, it doesn't matter where they are
