Please help with interface set-up

Can someone please help me out? I finally got me a USB interface and I need help hooking it up. I got the M-Audio Fast Track Pro. I'm using it with Sonar 8 PE in Windows 7 64. I got the newest ASIO drivers from the M-Audio site installed and have them set up in Sonar 8. I'm not hearing any sound. I doubt I have it hooked up right. I've searched the net for a good step-by-step but can't find anything. I've never used an interface before and really need the help. Can someone lead me to a good step-by-step or walk me through it. I guess I need pictures because I've tried reading how to set it up and still no sound. Sorry for being such and idiot, but I'm still relatively new to all this. Thanks in advance for any help.

    I finally got me a USB interface and I need help hooking it up. I got the M-Audio Fast Track Pro...set up in Sonar 8. I'm not hearing any sound...I've never used an interface before...
    Here are two important pointers:

    1. Your new audio interface replaces your existing soundcard.

    2. Get it up and running in Windows first before trying to access it from Sonar.

    Maybe you need more detailed help, but hopefully this should at least set you off in the right direction.

    Thanks for the reply. I know it's supposed to replace and I have defaults set in the control panel for the interface, at least I think I have it right. I'm also not sure I have everything hooked up right.
