Unfortunately this will never be possible since you can only select 1 thing at a time (i.e., Mic, or Instrument, or Line 1), but I have found a solution to the "What You Hear" problem for recording purposes:

How to set UX2 (or others) to "Record What U Hear"

support@line6.com — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 10:14:58 GMT

I've been searching FOREVER on how to set a Line 6 UX2 TonePort to utilize a "What U Hear" setting that you can find on any of the crappiest built-in soundcards... you know, like if you wanna record something from YouTube or anything on the internet while playing along to it, or whatever.. and I found the solution. Turns out not many Line 6 Tech Support guys knew of this solution except for one (and THANK YOU, Line6Miller).

From a previous user support question:

There's no feature like that in gearbox or with the TonePort. You could set the TonePort up as your sound card, route an audio cable from the TP's analog output into the Line In on the TP and then send that into your recording software.

What this means: take an ordinary audio cable - I used a guitar cable - and plug one end into the "1/L" of the Analog Out, and plug the other end into the "1/L" of the Line Input on the back of the UX2. Then just go into POD Farm and make sure "Line 1" is selected (Line Stereo won't work right) as your Source. It takes the live playback stream from your computer (from Analog Out) and routes it to the Line Input, which is basically your recording "instrument". Basically same thing as "What U Hear"/Stereo Mix/Wave Out on standard soundcards. Note that you have to make sure ASIO UX2 is selected as Input Source in whatever recording software you're using.

I haven't tried plugging a guitar or mic in and playing along to anything yet, and I don't know if it's possible since you'd have to select Mic or Instrument in POD Farm as your new recording source, but at least we now have a What U Hear/Stereo Mix/Wave Out Mix solution to record stuff from the internet, or whatever's playing through your computer.

IMPORTANT: Make sure you completely CLOSE OUT of POD Farm before recording anything with Line 1 as your source, or else it adds a flangey echo for some reason if your Output knob is at 12 o' clock or higher, even with no tones selected. As soon as I exited POD Farm and recorded a computer sound, it sounded perfect.

Re: RE: UX2 not detected by software; run a legacy CPL elevated?

Just tried it and it's still not being detected... followed the instructions word for word, uninstalled EVERYTHING (ASIO4ALL, all Line 6 software) and reinstalled just the drivers and Line 6 Monkey, and it's still showing up in Device Manager with the current drivers but Line 6 Monkey is still telling me the drivers aren't installed. I've never had this bad of a problem with hardware before and I am absolutely stumped as to what to do.

UX2 not detected by software; run a legacy CPL elevated?

I have what I believe to be a rather unique problem with my POD Studio UX2. I'm running Windows 7 32bit and it shows up in Device Manager, Sound Properties, etc. with the current driver. All of a sudden recently it's stopped being detected ONLY by Line 6 software, so I can't use it for recording and the level meters do not show any activity when plugging my guitar in. The last thing I was doing before I got this problem was running Fruity Loops Studio 9.

It's worked fine for over a year, I've had it installed to the same computer, never any others... USB ports and cables all tested and working correctly, the UX2 comes on and I can play audio from my computer when plugging my new speakers up to it. I first noticed the problem just today when I tried to load up POD Farm 2 and it got me to update Line 6 Monkey, so I updated to v1.41. I also updated POD Farm 2 to the latest, but I started having this problem beforehand.

When loading Line 6 Monkey it says No Devices Detected and prompts me to choose from a dropdown list of devices to configure. I've tried this 3 separate times now, and every time it takes me through the usual process of unplugging the UX2 from my computer, installing drivers and whatever else. It completes successfully and the popup window at the taskbar says "device installed successfully" when I plug in. When I'm able to actually load Monkey, it falsely tells me Line 6 drivers aren't installed when I know they are because it's recognized by my computer every time.

I've tried this process twice now and another time by manually downloading the drivers and all software from the Line 6 website. I uninstalled everything, reinstalled manually and it's giving me the exact same message everytime - no device detected, but showing up fine in Windows. POD Farm 2.5 just tells me that my device isn't authorized and runs in trial mode... so when I load the Line 6 License program, it shows my computer as authorized! This doesn't make any sense!

I also noticed when I try to load Hardware and Driver Settings from POD Farm, a Windows dialog pops up asking for permission to "Run a legacy CPL elevated". This happens regardless of running as Administrator or not.

I suspect some sort of ASIO4ALL problem, which would make sense since FL Studio uses ASIO4ALL but I don't know what to do. "Line 6 UX2" is activated in it.

I've had issues with getting my UX2 to be recognized in the past, but it was like a walk in the park compared to this problem - any solution I've found doesn't seem to work. Please help!
