I tried the unit on a MacBook Pro and it ran fine with MixControl. I have MixConrol 2.2 installed (the latest version according to the support site). Please download the latest version of Saffire MixControl from /support" Continuing may make your Saffire inoperable, and the program will now close. The MixControl runs very slow and sluggish and this try came up with a message: "This version of Saffire MixControl is out of date with respect to the connected device.

Even when it worked before, the Saffire MixControl did not. The device worked once before, but is not working now. I am inputting to the computer via a Firewire B 34mm ExpressCard. The "FW Active" light is blinking on and off in the front of the unit and when going under sound in Control Panel to view the microphone it just flashes up to peak once every 5 seconds or so.

The MixControl loads the preset levels and says "Connected" or "In Use" for the Firewire connection but does not show any levels active on the fader (as I am not getting any input). I am not getting any input or output from the unit. I am having issues with my Saffire Pro 40 which I recently purchased.
