Hi Adina!
I can't give you an exact step by step guide as I haven't got your exact
Behringer and UCA models. For example, does your UCA have jack or cinch
sockets? Does your mixer have a jack or a three pin XLR output or both? If
both, which cables were provided? Without an exact description of your
cables I can't tell you where to put them. If you know where the output
and input sockets are, just check which cable fits the respective sockets.
Being blind, my MO is to put cables where they fit and try until I've got
it right. The first thing to do is to connect the UCA to the PC via USB
and leave it connected when trying different connections between the UCA
and mixer. That way you can select it as input device in Audacity. If you
then select Software Playthrough from the Transport menu and pres r to
record, you will be recording constantly and will hear sound coming
through as soon as you've hit upon the right connection. The same goes for
the output. Select the UCA as an output device and play a song or some
other audio file so you have a constant signal while trying.
I hope this helps a bit. Do keep asking.
Cheers, Robbie

O great. if You can little explain the simplest way, how I can connect
things, what cable with what end where, would be of perfect help. I know
where inputs and outputs are everywhere, I am just clueless about which
ends of the cables go where. :-) Thank You Adina

Hi Adina!
I'm using a similar setup. I've connected the UCA to the PC via USB,
the mixer's master output to the UCA's input and the UCA's output to my
amp.
In Audacity I selected the UCA as both the input and the output device.
That means I can record what's coming in over the mixer and play
outgoing sound on my stereo set. Or the headphones connected to it,
when I'M producing. I have to say that this setup produces very high
latency, but I've managed to cancel it out by tweaking the latency
buffer. There is a noticeable drop in latency when only using the UCA
as imput and putting the sound out through the PC speakers or
headphones directly. However, I really wanted this particular setup in
order to play music over the stereo set while putting JAWS and system
sounds out through the little speakers on my desk. A caution though if
you're using JAWS. Unfortunately JAWS doesn't keep its soundcard
settings when a new device is connected. It will either shut up on you
all together, so you're lucky if you have a Braille display, or it
will switch to the new device. You need to select the PC speakers or
headphones again manually. There is no problem however if you only
connect and disconnect the UCA when the PC is shut down.
I have also tried using the UCA for only one direction, mixer to PC or
PC to amp, while using a direct cable link on the respective other
direction.
I did not notice any difference in either latency or sound. If you
would like to do that, you need to select line out or Microsoft
Soundmapper in Audacity as in- or output device.
Cheers, Robbie
PS: I should add that I'm using a Sony VAIO running Windows 7 64 bit.
