After you've stopped recording, have you deselected the red Record Enable button on the left side of the track?

Ya i deselected the record button before i played it back.... im alive, the cops came but i told them the situation but i dont think they appreciated it. They left though. I started screwing around in garage band and it records and playsback through the computer speaker fine, but not through the headphones. Even when i select the m-audio interface as the output.... Im gonna try plugging my amp into the headphone jack to see if my headphones just arent working or something....

I've plugged in 2 sets of headphones and an amp, but it doesn't work, I'm thinking the interface is screwed up?? The headphone Jack just isn't working and neither is the line in for guitar only the microphone is I guess, I'm gonna return it at guitar center and if it still doesn't work I'm gonna drive into oncoming traffic and end it all

Re: HELP! cant hear playback through the headphones!!! $20 paypal to who helps me
Is this one of those interfaces that has a headphone/monitor mix dial on it? On know this sounds dumb if you'r tried there already.
Where do you have your headphones plugged into? This also may seem silly, but a mate of mine had his headphones plugged into his computer and not the interface and was wondering why no sound was coming out. Another thing is to check the internal routing of your interface through the settings etc.....
