Help with Live monitoring

Post by JustinTN » Sun May 28, 2023 8:57 pm

Hey all. Appreciate any help someone can offer.
Newbie to Live Lite 11, using a Volt276 as my DAW. Windows 11 system.
Here is what I am experiencing.
Direct monitoring from my volt works great using live 11. Outputs to a speaker and a headset.

When I record guitar dry, direct monitoring also working great. I can add my effects post recording.
Outputs processed sound appropriately to monitors during playback.

What I CANNOT seem to figure out is why I can get no live monitoring from Live 11. When I turn off my DAW direct monitoring (not recording, just playing) I get no live output to my monitors. Live detects input, green bars and all, but Nada on the speakers. Yet if I playback recorded audio without direct monitoring, sounds perfect.

The main reason this is a pain is because I can't really tune effects before I start recording. I have to apply them to a sample track. I'm sure it's something dumb I'm doing but I surely cannot figure it out. Any help appreciated.
