Sorry, I couldn't resist.   :P

There's gotta be something between Edirol UA-1D and Cool Edit.  UA-1D is USB into your PC, right?  Check your Cool Edit and configuration, it's probably just not set up correctly - i.e. not expecting the input (USB) you're providing.

I don't know the UA-1D specifically, but the device I use (ESI's U2A) has its own separate control panel that you have to have open as well. Is there software or a driver that came with the UA-1D, maybe?

Check your UA-1D documentation / help file / support webpage to find out how to access its control panel to ensure your settings are correct.

What version of Cool Edit are you using?  In CE2000, the settings are accessible from the main menu:  Options | Settings.

Yeah...
You need to configure your soundcard driver correctly.
With my Audiophile 2496 I have to reconfigure the driver anytime I change from analog to digital input. I just made pre-sets that I load for each different configuration I need.

To find out if you have CE2000, on the main menu go to Help | About.  You can do this in just about all software to find out what version you're running.

In Settings, switch to the Devices tab and select the appropriate device from the Waveform Record dropdown (your UA-1D).  Likewise for playback (your soundcard).

Also, reading - or at least scannning - the Help File is often useful to gather a general knowledge about the product.

there are 2 choices under device, a wavform record and a waveform playback and ua-1d is available under both of those

Think about it a minute.  You're trying to record from your D8, through the UA-1D and into CE2000.  So...set the Waveform Record dropdown to the UA-1D.

For playback, you're not playing out through your UA-1D, so you'll select a different device.  Which device depends on your PC.  Try different devices in the Waveform Playback dropdown until you find one that will playback so you can hear it over your speakers.

if it IS on both the recorder AND the playback, then you've configured it correctly, just select the ua1d and click apply, i have the ua1d, but i run wavelab 4.0c...

Have you tried recording after picking the UA-1D as the Waveform Record device?

Have you tried playing back with *all* the other devices in the Waveform Playback?

Were you able to playback via CE2000 (or other applications) before installing the UA-1D?

to answer your questions

Have you tried recording after picking the UA-1D as the Waveform Record device? yes

Have you tried playing back with *all* the other devices in the Waveform Playback? yes

Were you able to playback via CE2000 (or other applications) before installing the UA-1D? analog form, but not digital through the 7pin

i just dont understand why i dont even get sound coming out of my speakers, is there a way to tell if something is wrong with the 7pin

Sorry, should've asked the followup questions:

Have you tried recording after picking the UA-1D as the Waveform Record device? yes

Did it work?  Were you able to record successfully?

Have you tried playing back with *all* the other devices in the Waveform Playback? yes

And with any of these other devices, are you able to playback a pre-recorded wav through CE2000?  What about playing back *while* recording?  (I think this is the problem you're describing, but understanding the answers to the others may help.)

Were you able to playback via CE2000 (or other applications) before installing the UA-1D? analog form, but not digital through the 7pin

I'm confused...analog form?  If the WAV is on your PC, it's not analog.
