So, i've had a home recording computer since 2000, i had an Maudio delta LT card on it for recording audio in

this is the first time ive ever tried to switch to a laptop and nothing is working.

My UX2 worked fine with my old desktop PC. I remember having the option of recording my instruments though the

usb cable as opposed to the analog outs in the back. The only difference was minor latency.

I figured i could use my UX2 as a primary soundcard via usb with my new laptop?

but i cannot get any sound to come through the usb cable, only through the phones jack and analog outs.

and that is creating a bizarre loop through my laptop. the output level knob on the top of the UX2 starts

controlling the sound level of my speakers from things playing off the internet?????

I am also getting lots of distortion and cant see how hot the levels are coming into the laptop.

the only two audio plugs on my laptop are a mic in and a headphone/speaker out.

ive been trying to set this up multiple times and i keep failing.

any input would be much appreciated
