Scarlett interfaces have a USB-C port for connecting directly to your computer and operate on the USB 2.0 protocol for maximum compatibility. Solo and 2i2 are bus powered, which means they receive power over the USB connection instead of a power adapter. Other Scarlett devices like require a power adapter\/cable and additional driver software to work correctly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"Scarlett-not-showing-up\" class=\"wp-block-cgb-block-customheader blackHeader alignLeft underline customh4 swheader\">Scarlett not showing up?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Reconnect the interface by unplugging and plugging it back in. If you have not done so yet, try reconfiguring the USB connections so that Scarlett is connected directly to your computer. Sometimes USB hubs are unable to provide enough power for bus-powered devices like 2i2 or Solo, and this is especially true for hubs that do not have their own power supply <em>(aka passive hubs)<\/em>. If the problem persists, try a different USB port or cable.

While some MIDI devices require their USB connections for full functionality, the Scarlett\u2019s MIDI ports are useful if your device has MIDI ports, plus you&#8217;ll save a USB port. For example, you can connect a MIDI keyboard to play virtual instruments, or even connect an external synthesizer and play\/trigger it with a MIDI track inside your DAW.
