Focusrite Control 2 (Firmware/Driver Service Kit)
The 4th Gen interfaces have a known handshake conflict with macOS Sequoia and Windows 11 that prevents the USB device tree from recognizing the unit during initial boot. This software/firmware 'kit' updates the internal XMOS microcontroller's timing parameters to ensure the interface responds to host polling within the required OS window. It is the manufacturer-specified resolution for the 'Not Detected' symptom.

USB-C to USB-C 3.1 Gen 2 Data Cable
The 4th Gen Scarlett requires higher peak current for its upgraded preamps and 'Air' mode circuitry compared to previous generations. Inferior cables with high internal resistance (low gauge power wires) cause a voltage drop during the DAC initialization phase, which interrupts the USB data handshake and results in the device failing to appear in the OS device manager.

Main Logic Board Assembly
If firmware updates and cable replacements fail, the internal failure mode is typically a malfunction of the USB-C termination logic or the XMOS chip itself on the main PCB. This board manages all VID/PID identification and digital-to-analog conversion; a failure in the logic gate responsible for the 5V power-on-reset (POR) signal will prevent the device from ever reaching a 'detected' state.
