saffire pro 40 and windows 10

[Matthew]

I own a saffire pro 40, running windows 10.

 

I have my mic plugged into the 3rd input of the saffire pro 40.  I am getting a signal and can hear myself coming out of the 3rd input in my saffire mix control.

That all works great. I can record into my daw using my interface with ease and no issues.

However,  Lets say I want to use skype, or zoom, or OBS, Basically anything other then Cakewalk. I cant get a signal.

I goto my sound options to the bottom right in windows. I right click and make sure my interface is selected and enabled, then I make sure all the other options are disabled. Then whatever program im using I go into the software and select the saffire interface, But I still dont get any (green) levels in windows 10.

My camera comes with a built in mic, so I tried enabling that to see if the mic would register and it indeed does and I get the green levels in windows 10 when I enable it, But when I disable my camera and enable my interface I get no green signal.

 

What am I missing here. Can someone please help. Im lost.

Hi Matthew,

My guess is your Saffire only works with an ASIO driver, whereas, the other programs rely on Windows generic driver.

Kind regards,

My rme interface works with everything.

In Skype, there is a drop-down for selecting your Mic input. Does your interface show up there?
