My request was made because I've learned that just because one audio program handles a sound device in one manner does not mean that another audio program handles it in the same fashion. So it is good to know exactly what we are dealing with before attempting to solve reported problems.

The UCG102 is apparently a "Class Compliant" audio device, which means that it uses Windows' built in sound drivers rather than having the user install a separate set of drivers and software made specifically for the device.

The first thing to know about Band in a Box and most USB devices, be they audio like yours or just MIDI or both, is that the device must be hooked up and recognized by the OS *before* starting up Band in a Box. If Band in a Box is open first, it must be closed down completely, not just minimized, and then you may have to unplug and then plug the device back in while the desktop is your screen, noting the taskbar and seeing if the device is recognized after plugin. Sometimes the taskbar won't indicate that, depending upon system settings, so just wait after plugin maybe 20 secs. Other audio programs you have may recognize the device when plugged in after they are open and running, Band in a Box doesn't.

Your device is apparently getting to be a bit long in the tooth, the .pdf manual from Behringer lists only Win XP and Mac OSX. I don't think that's a problem, though, with Win7, as it should have legacy abilities and its a good thing that you report the fact that it does work within Audacity to be certain and rule that issue out.

Let's make certain that Band in a Box is set up properly for both input and output audio:

Under the Opt. menu inside BiaB, select, "MIDI/Audio Drivers Setup"

In the window that opens, hit the Audio Settings button at lower rh just above the Help button.

Top RH dropdown should be saying, "MME". Below that is Audio Drivers button, hit that to see the selection window.

Make sure that the Behringer device is listed on LH input pane and also highlighted,

Make sure that the Behringer device is also listed on RH Output pane and highlighted.

If either or both is not highlighted, click on them to highlight them before hitting Okay.

Hit Okay on the other windows each that may still be open.

Try recording in BiaB again, see if you can hear the guitar as you play it now.

If not, please don't give up or let frustration get in the way, report back your results for there may be something else going on and we'll have to deal with it from there.

Good Luck,
