Axe I/O Solo - Direct sound when Monitor knob on DAW

Here is the setup:

Cakewalk latest version
Bass plugged into Channel 1 on Axe I/O
Axe I/O Monitor knob rolled all the right to DAW
Axe I/O Headphone volume at 12 noon

In the Axe I/O interface Control Panel I have Direct Monitor set to Mono.

I always hear the bass in the left channel even when I pan the input in Cakewalk hard right.

I've toggled the Cakewalk interleave button to Stereo on both input track and Bus (tried toggling mono but didn't help)

No matter what I do I hear the bass in the left channel

I think its an issue where the Axe I/O is passing the Direct Out left channel all the time even when the Monitor knob is all the right to full DAW sound.

Mentioning here in case someone says something like "you need to use a mono track for the bass" or some other setting I haven't seen yet.

UPDATE - If I set Cakewalk to Axe I/O input 2 which has nothing plugged into it I still get the bass coming through on the left channel.

I think there is something wrong with this unit


Thanks in advance for any input on this

Figured it out - I read Sweetwater's advice page on the Axe I/O (thanks Sweetwater!)

Windows - Open Sound Settings.
Click on Device Properties under the Input section.
Click Additional Properties
The old Windows Sound properties box pops up
Choose the Input Tab
Uncheck "Listen to Device"
