Hearing a live instrument (e.g., guitar) while running Sonar

I'd like to do something that I'm confident I was able to do way back in original sonar days, but don't know how to in Cakewalk Sonar or Cakewalk bandlab.

3 scenarios... scenario #3 is the head scratcher for me.

1. With sonar running, On a track, with the record buttons engaged and monitoring turned on I can happily hear my guitar playing live. Works!

2.On a track, with sonar sitting still and the track record button engaged and monitor engaged, I can happily hear my guitar playing live. Works!

3. With sonar running, On a track, with the record button NOT engaged and monitoring turned on I can no longer hear from guitar. 

The head scratching part is that as best I remember, years ago I could do #3.

And without #3 if I want to practice a part, I have to do some "fake recordings" to hear myself.

All advice welcome!

Ensure "Disable Input Monitoring During Playback" is unchecked.

And everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle
For you are the wind beneath my wings"

Bette Midler said it far better than I could ever say it. Thank you @Xoo!!!!!!!!!!!!
