Im no expert, but it sounds like the audio card does not have "duplex"
capability. Which basically means that it cannot output while it is
inputting. Full duplex typically means that you can monitor what is being
recorded on all channels. You might need a more powerful sound card to do
what you describe.

Please correct me if im wrong.

You may need to update your audio drivers so that you have the ASIO support:
I found this quote that leads me to believe that is the problem. Hope this
helps.


The Audigy 2 & Audigy 2 Platinum models that are currently available support
ASIO 2 Direct Monitoring. These Audigy products do not support ASIO 2 Word
Clock that is necessary for 24/96 recording. This level of support requires
a different level of hardware that will be available when the Audigy 2
Platinum EX makes it's debut.

I don't have a 'monitor' button. I select Special menu --> Transport -->
Record.
Here I have a modal window. It has buttons like New, Close, Remote...,
Window, Sync Out, Calibrate
and the buttons to record. I have a shield with "M" on it, but it says
"drop marker" on the mouse over.

Any other help would be appreciated. BTW, this is Sony Sound Forge 7.0, if
I didn't already mention that.

Oh, yeah, that check box went with V7 and is effectively permanently 'on'.
But in the absence of better ideas was worth a try.

Yes, applied to sound cards too. Full-duplex means, as in telephones,
similtaneous input and output. Obviously not, though, in the case of
soundcards, on the same pair of wires.
