Why can’t I get any sound through my headphones using my Saffire LE?
If you cannot get any sound out of your headphones, either from the inputs, or playing back from a computer, please try the following steps:
1. Press the “Track” button. This will activate tracking (or recording) mode, where the Saffire LE outputs can be used to monitor a mix of inputs. All crossfaders will be in a central position and all of the audio inputs will be routed to the outputs. This should enable you to hear any audio entering the Saffire LE through the analogue inputs.
2. Please ensure that the output levels are all turned up sufficiently, both in the software and on the hardware. If hardware control is turned on (the button marked “H” in each output section), the level in your Saffire LE software will be controlled by the “Monitor” control on the front of your Saffire. It is worth noting at this stage that the headphone outputs are outputs 3/4. You also need to ensure that the output is not dimmed or muted, that no other channels are soloed, and that the headphone output level is turned up on the front of your Saffire LE.
3. If you still can’t hear anything, please download Settings File 1, and load it up in Saffire Control LE.
4. Have you checked your headphones on another device to confirm that they are not faulty?
