The incoming audio is not really monitered through the recording interface but rather through your system mixer. Example: you're recording the line in from your sound card by telling cool edit which input to record, you're also at the same time listening to your system mixer by sending the same input to the output of your sound card.
Some possibilities include: * Your sound card isn't supported by ALSA. Check the ALSA website to see if your card is supported. * Your volume is turned down. * Your speakers are not turned on * Your sound card has been disabled in the BIOS.
