In Windows: Start>Control Panel>System>Hardware Tab>click Device Manager>.......under Sound, Video and Game controllers you should see the realtek device listed (I've long since deleted the driver, so I can't tell you exactly how it's listed...)....Right click the realtek device and go to Properties, where you should be able to disable the device. Once this is done, Start SONAR and do the wave profiler thing. This SHOULD set up SONAR to use yer 410 for everything musical.
Hook your speakers to the control room outs (on yer mixer) and hook a "stereo pair" of outputs from yer 410 to input 7/8 of your mixer....This will give you a "knob" to control playback volume at your mixer.......OR...
Hook yer speakers to a "stereo pair" output(s) of yer 410. Control playback volume via the M-Audio GUI.
There's not a whole lot of routing options with that mixer. Since you can hear the mic (I assume, once again), I think you have your speakers connected to your "Main Outputs". You need to connect these Outputs to Inputs on yer 410. Now you'll have mic signal getting to your soundcard, to record. As far as monitoring in REAL TIME as you record, maybe someone like Zungle will chime in (he's a signal routing genius)....I wouldn't be able to tell you how to do it without having the gear in front of me to play with, BUT.....at any rate, I hope this bit helps get you going........
We'll get you there-
