This clicking started after I connected the UFO 202. Prior, I used a Tascam US-122 for audio after I damaged my onboard output, and I did not hear the clicking; didn't hear the clicking when I had good onboard audio.
If then the clicking is specific to the UFO 202, you could try different hosts and buffer settings in Audacity as described.

Also right-click over the speaker icon by the system clock, then choose "Recording Devices". Right-click over the "Microphone" for the UFO 202 then choose "Properties". Go through all the tabs in case there is some setting that is relevant.

I suppose it is conceivable that the "Default Format" sample rate for the UFO in Windows Sound does not match with the Audacity project rate bottom left and that resampling is causing the click. This depends on the host chosen in Audacity. If you choose Windows WASAPI host in Audacity (in Device Toolbar) then you can tick the "Exclusive Mode" boxes underneath Default Format in Windows Sound and then Audacity should ignore that Default Format and just send audio to UFO 202 at the project rate without resampling being involved. Try 44100 Hz project rate.

I think this is probably clutching at straws but you can try. Also ask Behringer if they have any ideas.
