Can not hear audio from speakers or headphones win7

Post by mikepukmel » Sun Jun 24, 2018 12:21 am

Hi All,
I just bought and installed a Focusrite Scarlett Solo 2nd Gen. The driver install went fine, its on win7 with whatever current updates are available. I can see the input device in Audacity 2.2.2. I can see the green bar go back and forth when I 'start monitor'. I can record fine. And when I play back, the play back does come out through the computer's speakers or headphones. But when I have monitor on, I can't hear anything, and I can't hear anything while recording, only playback.
I have tried all combinations of inputs and outputs in audacity, this one has me stumped. Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Mike
