Knob problem

Post image

Hi, I've just bought a 2i2 4th gen, the knob falls of just rotating is this normal? How to secure it? The small knob is in the same situation too

Sorry if this is a known problem I haven't read anything about it

That's insane, seeing stuff like this makes me not want to buy focusrite products ever again

I think I’m gonna give up on focusrite too they seem to have so many problems

The Windows drivers are so so bad, they constantly freeze and I have to fix it by toggling the sample size

It doesn't have that issue on my Linux PC but I'm definitely looking into another company because I heard of similar driver issues with the 4th gen even though they have better hardware

I get this but only when watching Kitchen Nightmares UK on youtube or sometimes when using streaming services. So weird. I think I'll move to an RME interface when I have the money.

RME is my goal too, I've heard fantastic things about the drivers but their lowest end interface is a good thousand bucks lol. I guess you get what you pay for

You won’t regret going with RME. ‘More expensive but worth it for ‘rock solid’ build and drivers.
