UMC Interfaces - How do I set it up with Audacity in Windows 10?
Download the ASIO drivers from the Behringer web page for the UMC202HD. Install the drivers. Plug the USB cable from the UMC202HD into the computer and power the unit.
In Windows 10, click in the search bar on the bottom left of the screen and type Bluetooth.  An option to select Bluetooth and other devices will appear.  Click on this and a new page will open.  There should be a heading called Audio on this first page, and in there should be UMC202HD.  If it is not there, then the ASIO driver from the UMC202HD webpage has not been installed correctly.
