Having to select all those inputs makes me suspect something in the setup of the sound card itself.

PT uses the sound card, and how the sound card is set up, to monitor and route in/out.

Tinker with your M-Audio mixer applet itself. It sounds like PT is recording what you have the sound card set up to supply to PT.
Remember, the sound card Input routing happens before PT sees the input (for recording)
The output settings in the M-Audio mixer happen after PT sends the output to the sound card for playback.

It can be a bit confusing, but I'd bet this is a routing issue in the M-Audio setup.


I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
