what up yall? first time poster...and here i go....my studio is a lil funny but very efficient.i hava a yamaha mg10/2 mixer running into 1/8" mic jack on the sound card that's in the cpu already,realtek ac97(in process of buying e-mu 0404), which is how i use my condenser mic.now instead of an amp and monitors,i have two stereo receivers,1 for 5 satellite surround speakers and 1 for a woofer and 2 mini home stereo speakers,which is all ran thru a 1/8" jack into cpu.i recently reformatted my HD and everything was fine b4 that,now i can't hear myself in the headphones while recording but levels come out fine on the cpu.i use acid 5.0(windows xp).i've tried moving levels on the cpu(ac97) but i can't figure it out.voice is very low in the headphones,any suggestions?

Seems to be a lot of interest lately in theat E-MU card service.bfast.com/bfast/c...mp;bfmtype=gear
When recording voices a compressor is very effective at smoothing out and raising levels, but it must be done, or, is most effectively done, thru an insert or effects loop on your mixer. I can't tell you specifically what's wrong, but I am assuming the ac97's config is not what it was before formatting.
I am not sure Iunderstand exactly what your set up is like, it sounds as if your speakers and reciever are running into your PC, which I assume is a misunderstanding on my part. If not, you should have the mixer running into your PC input, and the output on your PC going in to the reciever to the speakers.
