Hmmm?
do not have a mic to try other inputs…Guitar is plugged into a 1/4 tinto the lpreamp
any help?..patch cord OK seems to work when plugged into amp…
…Inputs can be either XLR balanced or 1/4-inch TRS. Each of the 1/4-inch TRS outputs is buffered low impedance balanced.
OK… There is no proper instrument input… A normal guitar/instrument input is high-impedance, 1/4" TS.
However, I would still expect some sound, and it might even work perfectly since your guitar has a preamp (an active pick-up wth a battery) and these tend to be lower impedance than a normal guitar pick-up. The TS (2-conductor) plug into the TRS (3-conductor) socket should be OK.
Plug something into the preamp’s headphone or line-output to see if you are getting sound into the preamp. Do you have headphones or ear buds? Or you can plug-in regular “powered” computer speakers or a hi-fi system, etc.
If you are getting sound out of the preamp, then you’ve got a driver or configuration problem, and we can work on that.

Line input for Guitar is Via the “combo” XLR balanced or 1/4-inch TRS…REMOVE pin covers to access 1/4 input…"I was simply disregarding this and both the 1/4’s on the back are monitor outs…but my mistake did however force me to research even further other “troubleshoots” that I am sure I will encounter with my new-to-digital recording experience…thx http://artproaudio.com/art_products/signal_processing/usb_audio_devices/product/usb_dual_pre_ps/
A guitar input is a “convenience,” but I don’t know that you absolutely need it. One of our editors routinely used to play his electric into the Line-In of one of our mixers just to hear it play.
As an experiment, I hooked it up to the instruments (with his permission) and if I really hogged down on a chord, I could get the same analog sound level as as any CD, cassette or entertainment system. If my playing style was more civilized/muted, then, yes, I could use the extra boost typical of Guitar Inputs. But even then with a quiet, well behaved external soundcard, it could be made to work.
