I have a AudioBox USB that has been registered and has the program installed. I have a ********* C-1 condenser mic plugged into the first slot for mics, but my computer does not see the microphone.

Make sure you're using an XLR cable (no adapters) from the mic to the input. You also need the 48v switch turned on.
