Same happens to me. With my Behringer UMC404HD, it has to be on and operational when I launch BB/RB. If not, I have to choose a different device when launching the programs. Neither program recognizes a device turned on while the program is running. I've got several other DAW's that did the same.

The Behringer is tricky, because if I reboot the computer, I have to turn it off, then back on for it to be recognized. Of course, there is no on/off switch, so I have to reach behind it and pull the MIDI cable to reset it.

This has been BB/RB behavior since as far back as I can remember.
