  • Works Great on Windows x64 with Proper Setup
Initially, I wasn't sure which PC-Guitar interface to get and I avoided these things for a few years until the companies started producing 64 bit drivers to allow users to run their products on Windows x64. For this device, I am running it through Guitar Rig 5 and Mixcraft with impressive results. I have absolutely NO crackling, noise or latency issues. I have an above average desktop computer with a motherboard sound card and Windows 7 x64. If you install Behringer's 64 bit drivers and ASIO4All, configure everything properly, you shouldn't have any problems. For those who've had to run an audio chord from the unit's headphone jack directly to their speakers; this step is not required to get results. If you use ASIO4All and Behringer's USB driver together, you can select your audio output to go directly through your sound card after the signal's been processed through your recording software. This is why I purchased the device in the first place. Because I wanted to work with a digital signal within my recording and Guitar Rig software. The Behringer UCG102 allows you to do just that. Here are some steps to get you going in the right direction. By the way, I went through some frustrating trial and error getting this device to work the way I wanted in Windows 7 x64. It would be nice if Behringer would update their manual and website to provide better setup instruction. This, in my opinion, is the only negative against the product. Basic Windows 7 setup... 1. Download Behringer's Windows x64 driver from their web page... [...] 2. Run the Behringer driver setup and when it asks you to reboot; Go ahead and do that. 3. Download and install the ASIO4All drivers from their web page... [...] 4. If the Behringer UCG102 isn't plugged into to the USB port, do that now. If it's already plugged in, remove it and plug it back in again. This step ensures that the driver is properly loaded and the device is up and running in Windows. 5. Go to Windows 7 Control Panel or do a menu search for 'Sound' to configure your Windows Playback and Recording settings. 6. The Behringer still needs to be plugged in to configure these settings. In your Windows 'Sound' settings, make sure your 'Playback' device is set to your default speakers. If using headphones, set them as the "Default" Playback device. 7. Under the 'Recording' tab, select 'Line In' and if the Behringer USB driver is loaded and running properly, you should see an option to select "Behringer USB WDM Audio 2.8.40' as the Line-in device. The '2.8.40' is the driver version you downloaded from their web page and that number may change as drivers are updated. 8. Now you can start up your Guitar Rig or effects processor software. In Guitar Rig, you have to go into 'Audio and Midi Settings' and ensure that you are using 'Asio' as your driver and "Asio4All V2' as your device. Under the 'Routing' tab you have to make sure your 'Outputs' are set to either speakers or headphones. Under 'Inputs', make sure you have 'Behringer USB Audio 1' under just the 'L' or left channel only. The settings under the 'MIDI' tab don't affect this type of setup so there's nothing you need to do there. *** Step 8 is where you will normally run into problems and to fix this, you have to configure your ASIO4All settings. In the far right corner of your Windows taskbar, you should see a green icon, which if clicked will bring up your ASIO4All configuration window. You can also select 'ASIO Config' in Guitar Rig within the 'Audio and Midi Settings' and get into the same window. To get everything working, you have to click on the wrench to open the ASIO configuration. This is where you'll have to do some trial and error by clicking on the input and output device icons. What you're looking for is a green On/Off button with green arrows next to them for your input and output devices. For example, under my settings, I have the following ASIO devices showing green buttons and arrows... Top selection = Output: 'High Definition Audio Device" Bottom Selection = Input: 'Behringer USB WDM Audio 2.8.40' = (In: 2x 44.1-48kHz, 32 bits; Out: 2x 44.1-48kHz, 32 bits) A blacked out On/Off button icon with no green arrow, or a red 'X' next to these settings means something's wrong or you haven't clicked on the On/Off button icon so that device is actually turned on. Click on the wrench to exit out of the ASIO configuration. If you're not getting all the selection options in the ASIO or audio/midi configuration settings, try the following... 1. Close Guitar Rig and other recording software 2. Unplug the Behringer UCG102 and plug it back in again 3. Repeat steps 6, 7 and 8 and also check your Windows 'Sound' Playback and Recording settings to make sure they haven't changed If your using recording software like Mixcraft, you also have to use the ASIO device drivers within that software in order to record your guitar. By the way, I am able to run Guitar Rig's VST and real-time record with all Guitar Rig's effects within Mixcraft and achieve impressive results. Latency is not an issue because I'm using the ASIO drivers in combination with Behringer's USB driver. If you're having troubles, don't give up and keep at it. You'll be happy with the results and there's nothing like being able to record in real-time while using awesome guitar effects. I love it! ... show more

  • Decent for the cost
Got mine in 2020 for like 35 dollars, great if you just need some guitar recorded and don't have an external audio interface. Quality was a little inconsistent at times but you get what you pay for.

  • Good quality but Monitoring is not direct
I bought this because I didn't know enough. But the monitoring output actually uses the audio output of your DAW/PC to output to headphones/amp. So you need to make this device the default audio device for you PC And also DAW (I use Ableton). Latency isn't too bad, and this is still useful as my laptop doesn't have an Audio output jack. But if yours does, you don't need this product. ... show more

  • Difficut to get working but it works like its suppose to
This product is not as bad as most people claim. It is definitely not a professional tool but it still works great when you want to record yourself or you have no amp. The biggest, and only, issue I had with this product were the driver and programs that came with it. The product's driver were crap (same for the programs) so I just downloaded the ASIO4All driver, and it solved my latency issues (I have ASIO4ALL set to 512 sample rates, which is produces descent quality for me). I run this device through Guitar Rig 4, and I have no delay issues when playing. The computer that I run it on is this an AMD Phenom II N660 w/4 Gig ram. I have yet to figure out how to output the guitar's sound to the speakers without a third party dual-end 3.5mm male auxiliary cable and a 1/4 to 3.5mm convertor. If you are able to plug your head-phones into the head-set jack, you will only hear a "clean guitar" because the effects (such as distortion) occur on the pc and not the device itself. You'll need a third party dual-end 3.5mm male auxiliary cable and a 1/4-3.5mm convertor to hear the effects; just connect the auxiliary cable into mic-input on your pc. Pros: 1. Works as advertised (Once you tinker with it and get different drivers/programs) 2. small and easy to carry/use (just plug it into the USB port after you install ASIO4ALL) 3.(with guitar rig 4) good replacement for amp if you do not have one Cons: 1. A few additional third party supplies are needed for desired results (mainly cables and convertors) 2. The given drivers and programs are not the best 3. VERY THICK AND USELESS MANUAL THAT COMES WITH 3 SEPARATE SMALLER MANUALS TALKING ABOUT THE SAME THING (i just thought the manual was unnecessarily thick redundant; you'll know what i mean once you buy it...) 4.the led light never turns on like its suppose to 5.Did I forget to mention the crap-ass software and programs that come with it? Seriously don't use em... Conclusion: I will give it a 4 still because it works just like it said it should and that is what matters. Only the useless and crappy software/drivers annoyed me...and the excessively large and many manuals... UPDATE: Go to the manufacturers website and download the driver for this product (it's not crap anymore). If you do not wish to use a 3.5mm converter cable then you're going to have to mess around with your audio input/output device on your computer to get the audio and effects to work; I'd still recommend a converter cable even though that defeats the purpose of the device. Still recommend this product if you want a cost-effective solution to playing your guitar on a digital device. ... show more
