That's your problem right there. You're sending your monitored signal back into the computer with your new signal. Unfortunately I don't know that mixer's specs so I can't suggest a better routing set-up. I'm sure someone else will come along to help with that.

i certainly hope so, because i tried just hooked one in instaead of the loop but if i do i wont either beable to record or hear playback,someone please help

Well I can look up the specs later, but for now here's one possible solution.

Use an aux send to get the signal from mixer to souncard, and use two channels on your mixer to monitor from. Those are seperate paths.

The mixer should have either "monitor out" or CR (control room) outs that you can plug into. Mine also has a headphone out.
