Audacity 2.2.1 is obsolete. The current version is 2.3.1 and is available via the Audacity website: Audacity ® | Download for Windows
My guess it that you have WASAPI selected as the audio “host” in the device toolbar.
Try changing that to MME, and select the “audio box usb” as the recording device. The playback device should be set to whatever audio device you are using for playback.
unplugged , removed batteries, turned of all electrical recording and play back systems, took a leak grabbed a frosty, restarted, looked at all the instruments that deserve to be played better than I can. it all works
