Download Software For Focusrite Saffire Pro Firewire

It has nothing to do with modular but Focusrite don’t want to add this info on their site or their faq, so…

Saffire firewire range (Pro 14, Pro 24, Pro 24 DSP, Pro 26, Pro 40, LS 56) Works with High Sierra? IMPORTANT NOTE: we have had a very small number of reports of Mac's not booting up correctly after installing our software and rebooting the system. Please see this article for more information. This installer includes all necessary drivers and software to run the firewire saffire range of focusrite interfaces. Saffire pro 26 is an 18-in, 8-out 24-bit/96khz firewire/thunderbolt compatible. interface designed with the professional user in mind. Focusrite saffire pro 26 i o driver for windows 7 32 bit, windows 7 64 bit, windows 10, 8, xp.

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.

This article describes an issue that occurs when you use a FireWire port-based device in Windows 8.1 or Windows 8. Additional steps of configuration is required to enable this update after the installation.

Symptoms

Assume that you have a computer that equips with an IEEE 1394 FireWire controller card. After you upgrade the computer from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1 or Windows 8, devices that connect to the computer by using a FireWire port do not work.
This issue occurs because the legacy 1394 bus drivers (1394bus.sys and Ochi1394.sys) are removed in Windows 8.1 or Windows 8.
