Preferences > Audio > Output Config
Activate (click and 'green') the outputs you want to use.
Now go to arrangement view (click on the three vertical bars under the three horizontal ones in the upper right corner of the program).
Once you are here go to View and be sure that you have your 'In/Out' option ticked.
Good, now go to the bottom of the Audio Track column.
Here you should see a small 'box' with some pulldown menus such as Audio From, Monitor, Audio To.
Click on the Audio To menu and select your outputs.

This is SOOOO a RTFM question, tho'.

Hmm, you are using Live 4.
Sorry cryo, but I can't help you out any further.
Unfortunately that version and his GUI/functions have been erased from my memory long time ago. :/

ok i have ticked the in/out in the veiw button but where is this small box with pull down menus in session or arrangement?

It's there in BOTH session and arrangement.
For a more 'comfortable' setup I'd suggest you to go session view (my bad, I said Arrangement before).
The other 'steps' are the same as in my first post.
