Question

This is the error message upon startup: Failed to open speakers and analog connector
Make sure the configuration is set to stereo
Make sure sample rates of recording and playback devices match

This makes it so the interface in entirely useless in the program. No levels for my guitar at all. I'm sure it's an easy fix in the settings, but I'm a total noob. Please help.
