#1
Hello guys. I've just purchased Focusrite Scarlett 3rd gen audio interface.
I plugged guitar and it's ok. BUT, my problem is that i cannot hear what i'm playing through my PC speakers (they are connected to my pc of course) while i am recording in a DAW (pro tools, Studio One, Ableton Live) .Is there any option to do that or the ONLY way to monitor (listen live) my playling when i record it's to plug speakers directly through my Focusrite? Unfortunately, my pc speakers are with audio jack 3.5 green and cannot plugged direct to audio interface. So, what's the solution?

You could use head phones. I use a small PA or for my guitar i use my amp plugged in to the monitor outs on the Scarlett. It has to be something powered as in a powered speaker etc.

You can't use a focusrite and pc card at the same time
If you selected the audio interface the playback audio also comes from the focusrite.
Unless... If you are able to use jack software or some of that kind it can be possible... But sometime it does not work ok
