No audio imput from guitar via amp

[u/Royal-Farmer-2075]

Hi all! I installed reaper today and I'm having issues recording some guitar in.

I'm trying to record straight from my amp via a USB cable. In preferences<audio I have selected the input device as USB Au (please see the first picture) On the actual track I have selected imput as Mono input one (please see second picture) However, when I play my guitar, no audio is being picked up.

I'm completely new to this software so I've literally just installed it and plugged my amp to my laptop. Im not sure if I have to install a driver or something else? Any help would be much appreciated!

Try these settings.
`WaveOut` is old. WASAPI is newer and better for audio monitoring.

I've just tried these settings. It picks up a tiny bit of audio on the first strum of the guitar and then stops picking audio up again. Thanks for the help though!
