Can't hear any sound through heaphones? HELP PLEASE!

For some reason, when I attempt to record sound through my microphone, Cubase 6 displays input coming in but I cannot hear any sound?

No sound is present during playback, or even when I test the input levels. However, outside of cubase, through say iTunes I can hear sound with the same setup

I am using Cubase 6, with an M-Audio - Fast Track Ultra 8x8 audio interface, Shure SM57 microphone, and Sennheiser HD 280 pro heaphones

Any help will be greatly appreciated! :smiley:

Have you got monitoring turned on for the audio track?

Have you selected the M-Audio ASIO driver in Cubase? Have you setup all the connections properly? do you have the headphones plugged into the M-Audio Interface headphone socket?

Hey,

This reply is very late but anyway,

To Shinta:

My monitoring is turned on

And to Spllt:

The M-audio ASIO is selected, the headphones are plugged into the M-audio interface, but I think that my connectons may be set up incorrectly

What is confusing is that I can hear sound through a MIDI keyboard on an Instrument track, but cannot hear anything through an audio track

So far my VST connections are set with -

Input: Mono (Set to channel 3 on my interface, which is the channel that my mic is plugged into), and Stereo (Set to channels 1 and 2)

Outputs: Stereo (Channels 1 and 2)

An Audio track has been created with:

Input: Mono (Channel 3)
Output: Stereo (Channels 1 and 2)

When I record audio, it can be played back through the headphones. But when ‘monitor’ is enabled I cannot hear any sound, during playback, and during recording

Thanks for the replies, if you can help me with this next step that’d be great

Hi…I’m new to Cubase. I have tried all of the above and nothing is working. What am I not doing?
