can't record from firebox (error while opening sound device)

Hi --
I can record in audacity with the built-in mics on my computer, but when I try to record into audacity using my presonus firebox, i get the message "error while opening sound device." I've tried all the different sample rates and bit depths (via preferences). i've tried using the firebox as a handler for all of my sounds in the OS, and using it only in audacity (selecting it in preferences as my audio device.) Nothing works. Any thoughts?
