Using the Boss RC-505 with Ableton Live

Hello Friends!
Resources on using the RC-505 with Ableton Live are scarce O_o
I'm currently running the RC-505 into my computer using a USB cable. I can then record into ableton by creating a connected audio track, but I have to monitor through the RC-505 directly. This works fine, but I was hoping to monitor through my computer.
When running the sound out from the computer (input RC-505, output Built in Mics in preferences) and turning the monitor on for the track...I receive feedback through my headphones. Any thoughts?
Running the RC-505 into something like a Scarlett might solve this?

Mines connected via usb, Ive got my audio output set to rc-505 (not built in) and it sounds great
you can then connect the headophopnes or monitors to the output of the rc505.
Now - I want to set up slave/master midi control. preferably the rc505 mastering ableton.
Can you find any docs?

There is a setting in the RC-505 to turn input on and off. That could help.
Here is a description:

Hey guys! Would you have some time and patience to explain to a newbie how do you connect Boss rc-505 as an audio interface in Ableton Live please? I've browsed and browsed Google in search for answer, unsuccessfully though.
Thanks in advance!

ChironControl had it close - I tried that but it still wasn't getting rid of the tone I was hearing through the USB in.
What worked for me is to hit the System button on the RC-505 and hit the > right button until you see "Sys: USB IN Level". That should be automatically set to 100.
Scroll that baby all the way down to 0 and you shouldn't hear any more feedback (hopefully). The mic output from the RC-505 should still be able to be received in Ableton.
Let me know if that works for ya.
