OMG ... that did it!!!! Why didn't the people at FocusRite know this?
FYI: Audacity sets the default buffering to 100 and strongly recommends you leave it that way. I tried a setting of 0 and 1 and couldn't play anything back. However, the setting of 50 was MAGICAL!!!
Thanks Gale!!!

To be fair, I've not known that setting to make a lot of difference unless set to extremes, so I'm quite surprised that a change from 100 to 50 has made so much difference. Thanks for the feedback - useful information.

If the Saffire has a buffer setting and it's set too high, it could be the explanation.
