Help with Sonar and AX Fx II Please

[Scott]

I'm getting an echo/delay when playing a patch on the AX II. All Fx are off. When I press the little headphones in sonar to monitor the output, the echo/delay comes in. When I press the little headphones again (turning them off), the delay goes away. The sound at this point is very good, however its not registering in Sonar with the peak meter. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

The 'headphones' is for input monitoring through the DAW.   If you're playing an AXE 2, I suspect you don't want or need to monitor the DAW channel.

When you record-enable the channel, your meters should now show input levels.
