Looking at your post again, I'm thinking you must mean to put both ends of the RCA into the UA-1EX, input and output respectively. I've now done that, but can't get it to record through Audacity.

Here's what I've done:

Set Audacity preferences Audio I/O to Edirol for both input and output
On the volume mixer of my computer, ensured that both Edirol recording and playback options are indicated as working. However, although I have tried to enable these and make them default, the computer has not switched to enable the UA-1EX as the device.

Have I omitted something?

Yes, the left in to the left out and the right in to the right out

On my PC I also have to use the Control Panel > Sounds and Audio Devices > Sounds and set the Sound Playback device to be my UA-1EX, USB device (this is XP-PRO that I am using - I don't know how Vista does this)

You may also need to close and restart Audacity for the settings in Audacity to take effect.
