Focusrite 2i2 - I/O - Not Working

Hey Guys,

Keep getting this error message, otherwise everything is running smoothly with it.

"The Insert path was made inactive because the output path is already in use"

So then i go and google all the setup info i can and it says to go into Setup/I/O then delete the Input and Ouputs and click the Default button for both and everyone else has smooth sailing. No not me, not I.

If i fiddle around a lot, i can pick up a monitoring signal from the Focusrite and from Pro Tools. But once i try to record it, it won't track anything, and once i get to that stage, i can no longer hear any other audio on the track. So i assume it's just a patch issue, but as I've already done the main trouble shooting i can find and everything else with the device and drivers seems to work fine, I need some help.

Thanks in advance, P.S I'm newish, please be gentle!
