Problems with recording with TASCAM US122 MK-II

[Foskalim]

Hey guys!
I would like to apologize in advance, I've posted this same topic on the TASCAM User forums..
But that thing looke almost forgotten and i hadn't realized... it seems like latest reply was a week ago, or something...
So, sorry for the two posts, but I really need some help

I've just bought this set to start to record some: A TASCAM US 122 MK-II, a Shure SM57, a Cubase LE5 & an Asus G75VW

I've plugged in everything EXACTLY like the manual says:

Shure SM57 ->Right Microphone input-> TASCAM US 122 MK-II -> Asus G75VW using the Cubase LE 5 that comes with the US 122.

I've set the TASCAM on mono, just so I could hear on both sides without the split cable.

I've changed the BUS on Cubase to mono.

I've changed the VST connections on Cubase..

I've tried with both the Phantom Power ON and OFF

If I plug some headphones on the US 122, I can perfectly hear the mic...
But... no sound comes off or to the computer... and Cubase doesn't pick up any sound from the mic.

So, I checked the SOUND on the Control Panel, went to Recording Devices. And it said: Line in - TASCAM US 122. But if I made any sound near the mic, the sound levels didn't change...
So, thats my problem, the computer doesn't pick up any sound from the TASCAM. It recognizes the device, cause I've installed every driver, etc... but it doesn't pick up sound...

Then my problem is... The computer doesn't pick up ANY sound from the Shure SM57 to the TASCAM.
Any ideas?

Thanks!

Since you mention 'Control Panel' and 'Recording Devices', these are Windows things, so I'm guessing you have not selected the Tascam as your USB input device in Cubase.

Oh yeah, I didn't mention this...
It is Windows 7, actually..

And I have changed the input to TASCAM, but I don't think the problem is with Cubase... Cause the computer itself doesn't pick up any sound...
