I can't hear my instrument!!

I have Sonar Producer Edition 3.

I am running Vista home premium.
System: Compaq Presario v6000 system.

I cannot hear my instruments in Sonar when I plug them into my system. I plug direct into my mic port on my sound card. I can record with no problems and my levels are reading great but I never hear my instrument through Sonar. No matter what I plug in, guitar, bass, keyboards, mic, etc.
Help!!

Do you have input echo on?

No he doesnt...

Per the help file that you are avoiding for some reason, it says this and it took me about 3 secounds to type in input echo and have it find it for me

SONAR has several buttons to control input monitoring:
Per-track Input Echo button --each audio track has an Input Echo button that turn's that track's input monitoring on or off.
Global Input Monitor button--the Playback State toolbar (to display, use the Views-Toolbars-Playback State command) has the Input Monitor button on the right end, which turns input monitoring on or off on all audio tracks with one click.
Audio Engine button --clicking this button so that it's in its up position turns all audio activity in SONAR off, which includes input monitoring.

Turn your speakers down, and on an audio track that you want to monitor, click the Input Echo button so that it's lit up (on) . To disable monitoring for this track, click the button off.

He vowed never to use it until all the bugs had been fixed.

Fixed at last, fixed at last
I thank Cakewalk, it's fixed at last
