i just got the firewire card for my onyx, and it records fine, but everythings playing back REALLY LOW, i can barely hear it. ive turned every damn knob on this thing. anyone got any ideas?
 
playin back as in from my computer,---reaper, or anything else. it monitors at a fine level though, just right through the headphones
 
For the monitoring I would assume that you are talking about during recording, in which case it would be hardware monitoring within the Onyx, completely a seperate thing from hearing what it is playing in your software, which would explain why it works, but playback doesnt. Sooo... What kind of levels are you showing with your meters inside of your program, and during playback what is it showing on the onyx as far as monitoring volume. Also just to make sure, you do have the onyx set to send the firewire signal to the control room/phones, right (this is what I monitor off of obviously, and how I would set it up)? To really know any more than that I would need to know your signal chain, what is hooked up where, and what software you are working with, as well as what the meters are doing during playback.

What are your speakers connected to? The main outs or the control room outs?
