    Hey I have had the same issue with the same sound card and I found a workaround.

    1) From the desktop right-click on the speaker icon in the bottom right and click on playback devices.

    2) Right-click on the Line Out scarlett 2i2 device and click properties.

    3) under the advanced tab drop the frequency setting to 2 channel, 16 bit 44100Hz and click apply.

    Now the game should launch fine. It doesn't seem to like that being set above 44100Hz.
