1) On the AUDIO BOARD (if applicable): Make sure the TALKBACK MIC is on and the slider is up.
2) In ADOBE AUDITION: Click Edit > Audio Hardware Setup -In the Audio Driver dropdown menu, select your external cound card/board here (in this case EDIROL UA-5) and click OK. -Make sure the "Release ASIO Driver in Background" is checked.
3) If you CANNOT select it, exit Adobe Audition and restart the computer. -Click the START button > Shut Down > Restart 4) Repeat Step 2
