I have my headphones, guitar, and condenser mic all hooked up and can hear my guitar and voice in my headphones but I keep getting a pop up at the beginning of booting up StudioOne that says, 

---------------------------------------------
Failed to open speakers (4- AudioBox USB)!
Failed to open Analog connector (4- AudioBox USB)!

Please make sure that the speaker configuration is set to stereo
Please make sure that the sample rates of your recording and playback devices match
---------------------------------------------

If I proceed to the program anyways and try to record, it does not pick up any sound. So basically I can hear everything going through my headphones but my PreSonus program is not getting anything. I can only assume that the box is not communicating with the desktop. HELP ME PLEASE! :D
