Exactly. That SoundBlaster is not a home studio recording interface, it's a consumer grade item sold at Fry's or Best Buy for gaming not for musicians setting up a home studio. Could it be made to work properly? Maybe, I don't know. What I do know is I would never consider it in the first place.

I can't guarantee that's the problem here but just as a matter of course I would go to a GC or Sam Ash and pick up a proper interface and see what happens. It might cost you $150. If you still have the same problem, return it.
