The soundcard is in the computer in the right place. Everything is plugged in the right place. I have Sennheiser Headphones and its plugged in "outs 1" and my condensor microphone cord is plugged in "Ins 1" Also I have Cool Edit Pro 2.0 recording software. When I try to record it records absolutely nothing.

Someone mentioned that on the Break out box the In 1/In 2 one if left and two is right for the headphones. Well I plugged my headphones in "Outs 1" and it played on left side, and "Outs 2" and played on left side. Do I need a Y cable which I have no clue what it is. Also it is not recording. Can someone please help. I am determined to have this delta44 working. I will never quit, because i spent my hardworking money on this

I would appreciate if someone can tell me whats wrong or could possibly help me

I just noticed you seem to have everything muted?

You gotta un-mute some of that stuff b4 you can hear anything

Edit: And on the Patchbay/Router tab select Monitor Mixer
 
oh i didnt notice that, thanks appreciate it. Ok, I unchecked all of the mutes and the original post is edited correctly now.

and I just checked monitor mixing and I hear no sound coming to my headphones when I try to listen to audio

uppin
 
Your headphones are plugged into out1, but you still have Mixer Inputs/Wave Out 1/2: -24, Mute [Checked] Stereo Link [Checked]
?

Also in the Patchbay/Router you have H/W Out 1/2: WavOut 1/2 [Checked] -> You need to check Monitor Mixer
 
yep, I got ...headphones plugged in Out1..

ok, i just put it on mixer one, still not workin tho..lol i guess i have bad luck or sum
 
The inputs are mono line level inputs. Plugging in a microphone doesn't do anything. You'll need a preamp. And one with phantom power when you're using condensers

The outputs are mono line level outputs. Plugging in a headphone, which is stereo, won't work. You need a y-cable that brings the mono outputs of output 1 and 2 to one stereo. See attachment.

oh yea i forgot to say i had a pre-amp, sorry bout that...

can I get those cords at radio shack?...
 
I got the Y cable "Y Adapter" it says..t looks like the one on the picture u uploaded. I connected it to my headphones, and put it in the break out box and its still playing through one ear
 
make sure the y cable you got is dual 1/4 mono to 1/4 Stereo

I had to buy a few adapters.

(2) Female RCA (mono) to Male 1/4 (mono)

(1) 1/4 Stereo Female to Dual RCA Male (mono) [y cable]


the RCA -> 1/4 adapter connects to the RCA ends of the Y cable and you connec those to Out 1&2 of the delta

and the headphones go to the Stereo 1/4 female of the y cable.

I couldn't find a single Y cable online or in store that didn't require purchasing more adapters to actually make it work the way I needed.

Got all the above at the Shack for about $5-$6
It worked great.

Same problem, same solution. I bought the gold plated stuff so it ran me $13.
