I'm having some issues here and I can not figure out what the problem is. I have an audiophile 192 that I use for recording vocals and guitar but I use my soundblaster live for playback through my headphones. The problem is that I can't hear what I'm recording through the headphones until I actually record it and then play it back. I'd like to hear the sound through the headphones in real time so I can tweak it without having to record something, listen to it, tweak it, etc.

Any idea what is causing this in Cool Edit Pro?

You most definitely can monitor in real time with CEP, however, like you said above, I only know how to do it with a single sound card. In the settings though, you can define primary and secondary sound cards...maybe if you search around in there, you'll figure it out. Out of curiosity though, why are you using a second soundcard for playback?

Like stated above, check out the audiomasters forum. You're bound to find some good info in there about CEP.

Monitoring of your record inputs is not supported in CEP/AA. Getting it with a soundblaster card is a function of the sound card, not the host application. You're simply feeding the line in to the speaker outs, and also recording the line in.

See the Windows Mixer app for your sound card to see if you can get monitoring to work there - or if you are running things through an outboard mixer, monitor there. That's what I do.

Thanks for your help guys. Perhaps I'm looking at this the wrong way. I currently don't have any monitors so I listen to everything through my headphones. I guess it would make more sense to use the audiophile as the audio out as well. The thing is, the audiophile has two balanced analog outs so I'm not sure how to get both those analog outs hooked up to my headphones.

I'm sure this is a dumb question but given the output choices of the audiophile 192, what outputs would you use for headphones?
