Hi all
I have purchased a Guitar-USB interface from Maplin. (Behringer Guitar Link UG102). I get sound from the Guitar Links headphone socket or i can patch the Guitar Links headphone socket to my guitar amp and it sounds great using the supplied software amplifiers.
However, i was expecting to get sound from the PC speakers but i can't ascertain whether this should be the case or not. I think the system see's the Guitar Link as an external USB sound card.
The internet including the manufacturers site doesn't answer this obvious question.
Anyone know?
