The item in question is a Scarlett 2i2 second gen, the one that looks like this:

Does anyone know why I can't use it standalone powered from a normal 5V USB wall adapter?

It works fine connected to a computer, so the unit works fine.

If it is looking for a USB (computer, hub) connection, is there a simple way to fool it? I play around with Arduino etc., have a limited fairly knowledge of electronics but can solder and assemble things.

What I want to be able to do is to use the input (guitar), and take an output from the headphone jack, either for headphones or (by wire) to a small rechargeable portable speaker (Cambridge Audio).

Many thanks!
