Pro Audio 9/CAN'T RECORD AUDIO

I am desparate. All of a sudden I can't get any levels in console view when I try to record audio. Midi records fine. My set up is Dell Dimension 3000, Windows XP, Creative Sound Blaster PC1521 sound card, Roland XP 30, Behringer Eurorack MX 1804X. I tried to answer any questions you may ask me below:


My sound card records midi from my Roland XP through a Behringer mixer perfectly in Cakewalk Pro Audio 9.

Tapping the mic registers levels on the Behringer mixer perfectly.

When I play the Roland it registers levels on and records perfectly through the Behringer mixer.

Windows' Device Manager says the sound card is working perfectly.

The only problem is getting Cakewalk's console View to show levels when I try to record audio. I can't record any audio. Even when I put the console view slider all the way up or volume on Behringer all the way up

I don't know if there's a switch or something in Cakewalk that I need to click.

I do know that I'm suppose to click "Line In" in the Windows MS mixer, but when I do that I get absolutely nothing (levels) in console view. But when I click microphone instead, a tiny little bit of level registers in Console View, but way to small of a level to actually record anything. It only goes to about 54 at the very bottom. I think it's just sound card noise.

I used to have a friend do all my midi/computer hook ups who is now very, yery sick, so maybe that's my problem. I'm not good at this so this is a pre-school explanation" I have the parallel port plugged into the sound card, coming from the Behringer's left and right "main out". Next to parallel port are four little quarter inch colored holes; Black, green, red, blue. Into the Black hole I have a black quarter inch plug that's split off from the parallel port, I put into the black sound card hole. Then into the green hole green hole I have plugged a set of computer speaker (FYI: These speakers are just for computer. I have studio monitor for recording.)

Nothing is muted anywhere. I greatly appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

In Cakewalk Track Properties I have: Source-Stereo SB1512 Wave Device, Port-SB1512 Wave Device, Channel-None, Bank Select-Normal, Bank-None, Pan-64, Volume-127 (which has worked in the past)

This might sound like a silly question but it addresses the same problem I had. Are you changing your input source to your soundblaster card when doing the audio (mic, guitar, etc.) Of course to play the audio back you need to have the output on that card also. You probably know but I'll just remind you that the tracks need to be set to the audio or midi device for the input to show on studio ware or to record at all. I hope it helps but you might already know this. Good luck. I bought PRO9 when it first came out. I originally started with QUAD! I haven't recorded for years and have just started back. It has a learning curve no matter how much I used it 10 or 12 years ago!! I can't get my tracks to pan right now. Any ideas. I'm going to post that question here also. Good luck!
