Typically, you can only use one audio device at a time. SO if you want to use the Mic Mate, you have to disable your soundcard. When you say you can see the Mic Mate, do you mean you can set it as an input and actually see the level meters moving, or just that you can check it in the audio devices box.
It will definately work with Cakewalk. It's just to get it configured.

Sure you can PM me if you want to call.
In the meantime,
You want to make sure the Mic Mate is selected as your input AND output device. It becomes your soundcard, and disable the internal card, or at least it is not selected in your global options.
Now with the MIc Mate as your audio device, create an audio track. In the input dropdown, you should see the mic mate, select it. Also, in the output, select it as the output as well. Now if you arm the track, you should see the signal meters registering the level. Click record and you are good to go.
To listen, you need to plug headphones or speakers into the Mic Mate, remember, this is now your soundcard. To listen while recording, click on the input monitor button beside the arm track icon on the audio track you are recording.
Good Luck
