I'm not sure if this will work with your set up but I take the audio out (from the computer) and plug it into the input and press the line in button.. Works well for me. I guess you could even go computer audio out ----> mic in.

I have never used the USB cable with my computer.

Could be your cable. I have had a couple RCA wires that have shorts in them..

Double check your system's audio output settings. I work with a mac, and I know I can switch them from the built in audio sound card, to an external one, so if I switch it, I can't hear anything out of my speakers until I change it back.

Haven't used windows in ages, so I don't think I can help much more than that.
I love samples
