I'm trying to retire my old WinXP computer. I've been using it to record things in either Audacity or PTPro Audio through an Edirol UA-1A audio to USB interface.

I've got 3 of these and I know they are good. They work on my XP computer. I also have a UA-20 and it does the same thing.

So I need to record on 8.1 before I can retire the old workhorse. But I'm having trouble

I put UA-1A's in both of my Win8.1 computers, the generic Windows drivers are installed, and I can select the Edirol in the Devices dialog in Audacity and also in the audio drivers of PTPro (preferences->Audio->Drivers).

I get nothing on the VU meters in either program. It all works on my old XP, but not on 8.1.

I've swapped cables and interfaces but nothing gets into the computer. I checked the device manager and made the UA-1A the default, and it's definitely enabled.

Any guesses as to what I may be missing?

I've googled, but can't come up with relevant results.

Thanks,
Notes
