No worries. Yep, the problem I was having, I think, was maybe due to the fact that I had originally installed the Saffire using a PCMCIA card. I then switched to firewire when I noticed I had a 4 pin socket (the thing is so small it missed my eye!). I uninstalled the Saffire and re-installed it via the Firewire port. When I started getting problems I came to the conclusion (might be wrong) that the comp was still trying to communicate to the Saffire via the PCMCIA slot, to which it was no longer attached.
The weird thing is that in my sound settings the Saffire was selected as the default interface, and I was routing to the correct outs, but still no sound. In Live if I went to trigger a clip nothing happened, didnt play, didnt freeze, in fact just did nothing.
Well, my system had become a bit full of junk anyway so hence the reason for the re-install. Its been working fine so far.

interesting to learn the saffire works connected to a 4pin fw connector (i have one in my laptop as well), i thought one had to have a pcmcia-based , 6pin fw port in order to get it to work.

6 pin only adds power,georgebrazil wrote:interesting to learn the saffire works connected to a 4pin fw connector (i have one in my laptop as well), i thought one had to have a pcmcia-based , 6pin fw port in order to get it to work.
its the same bus-speed/throughput/performance.
4 pin just cannot supply power to a device.
that is the only difference.
