Hi everyone. I hope you're doing well.
I'm trying to re-connect my USB soundcard (Behringer UCA-222) to my laptop and the Alto Professional ZMX52 audio interface. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the soundcard drivers (successfully, according to the notification) and I've wired my inputs and outputs to the correct places on both the mixer and soundcard. I know I've got the right ones because I'm getting content playing into my headphones (plugged into the mixer) via the soundcard, both from the laptop and from my digital radio. I've also managed to record from my laptop's soundcard and then play it through the mixer but, for a reason that I can't possibly fathom, I'm completely unable to record a signal through the mixer (such as a station from my digital radio). The software is recording, as there's dead air in my headphones and a file duration is displayed, so I'm at a complete loss as to what might be causing the issue. The only thing I can think of is the soundcard drivers but they're obviously working to some extent ... I may even have got a temporary sound recording out of them but, if so, it stopped working as soon as it started which leads me to assume that things aren't as they should be with the installation (after all, when I re-installed the drivers and re-booted the laptop, everything continued to feed out of the laptop's soundcard rather than reverting to the USB soundcard and coming out of the mixer).
Apologies for the long, rambling and probably confusing post ... any advice will be gratefully received.

Hi Danny, sounds tricky. There is a setting in the recording properties of each connected device those which support this feature, Listen to there are four pages, listen is one of these. I think it's like the old What you hear. Might be climbing up the wrong tree here danny, hope you can sort it out, and would love to know the eventual solution .

So what kinda card is this? Is this 1 of them pro ones qith XLRs and what not? Cause some do let you and this is key mix your PC audio in but most don't even do this. Yeah sounds like you want something like What You hear. But Pro cards which are given that fancy turm audio interface don't have this. Only things like the Sound Blasters or the built in Realtech card if you're lucky.

It's a Behringer UCA-222 USB soundcard. I've ticked "listen to device" for both recording and playback and have also checked that both playback and recording have it as the default windows device/have it enabled.

I've run a recording test in GoldWave and both channels are peaking at -76db (no signal detected).
