I would think this is a simple problem but we'll see. I have my US 144 connected to my pc by USB and the Line Out connected to my receiver.When I play one of my songs I'm working, it plays crazy slow and i hear ticks coming out of my stereo speakers.

I would think pulling this off would be easy but I just cant figure it out. Took me a while to find a knowledgeable forum that might have the answer. Any help appreciated.

I'm betting you are recording at a higher sample rate than your sound card can play back, or you need to set your sound card to accommodate the higher rate. If you are recording at say, 48 kHz, and your playback card is set at 44.1, this means your playback will be slow and probably distorted. You need to either adjust the sample rate of the recording to accommodate the card, or vice versa.

O, and welcome to the HRC board.

The thing is at the moment I am not even recording, just trying to get some simple playback to see if it even works first.

For example, If I go into my ASIO4ALL menu in my fl studio to make it work, I have the output on, input off (because im not recording anything into it, hope i did that right). All I end up hearing from my speakers are clicks. I'm starting to think this thing is broken.

Ha, I have a 144 as well.

Open the Control panel for the US 144 and play with the "Audio Performance" Drop Down Menu. Sounds to me like you have it on lowest latency, which never works on any computer for some reason- it does what you're describing. I have mine set to Normal Latency and get 4ms latency, so it should work for you as well. The rest is in finding the right balance for your buffers.
