Check in the Windows Sound control panel and ensure that the USB mixer is not hidden and is enabled in both the Playback and Recording tabs.

So we've found the problem.
Have you tried rebooting the computer?
Note that you cannot use Windows drivers and ASIO drivers at the same time. If you have ASIO drivers installed and then use any audio application that uses ASIO, that will block the Windows drivers.
