The last recording device I owned was a 4-track cassette recorder so I'm pretty excited about upgrading to the digital age with my brand-spanking-new UX2.

Unfortunately, after following all the directions available (or at least the ones I could find) audio is no longer reaching the speakers.

Any help would be appreciated; below are all the pertinent details I could think of...

Dell Inspiron 9300

Intel Pentium M @ 1.6 GHz

RAM 1.0 GB

Windows XP (sp2) Home

Sigma Tel C-Major Audio (however, all audio settings have now been rerouted to the UX2 per the manual)

Installed POD Farm

Connected UX2 unit when prompted to do so

Registered the unit online

Installed and utilized Line Monkey to ensure the latest drivers are installed

Plugged in electric guitar

VU meters indicate a good signal input, POD Farm interface shows a signal is being received

No sound from the speakers (turned on with max volume)

Windows Media Player now will no longer put sound to the speakers, either (although it appears to be functioning normally)

Restarted the computer (more than once) but the problem persists.

I'm certain that I'm just overlooking something. I *am* computer literate, but from a user standpoint. This is also my first foray into dealing with digital audio recording.

I have not yet installed Live Lite 7, RiffWorks, or Reason Adapted (the discs that came with the unit).

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!
