lexicon alpha with logic issue

i am on a macbook pro
with lion
and logic 9.1.6
using a brand new sm58
with a brand new lead
thru a brand new lexicon alpha unit

logic doesn't seem to find any form of input - there is the most faint muffled sounding recording coming from the mic if i press record and shout down it - yet it sounds perfect coming from the lexicon unit into my headphones

and it's not a problem with the lexicon as you can see in my picture the laptop can see the signal how i am hearing it but logic has no volume

and yes my output input are both set to lexicon - buffer size 128

i am worried it's a problem with lion - as i had the problem with my friends digidesign mbox and i had to get the LATEST driver for it to work with lion but trying to find lexicon drivers on the world wide web is like trying to find sand in a waterfall

i have literally turned to stone today from how mind numbingly impossible it seems to solve something that is clearly a flick of a switch somewhere - it has also ruined a planned night of weekend recording

please send any thoughts/tips asap/PLEASE HELP MEEEE

thanks

ed

p.s i also cannot find any form of interface for the lexicon like a mixer e.t.c something i would of liked to of also checked even just so i could uninstall/reinstall it or something

 

nope pressing the i hasn't changed anything it's still insanely muffled and inaudible but now i can add effects like delay e.t.c - the i/o seems to think it is in surround sound for some reason

i/o
front left ????????
stereo out

my friends says it may be something to do with this

i have no idea why it thinks its in surround

i will be so happy if someone can solve this problem - it will be mindblowng

wish i knew how to uninstall lexicon so i can reinstall it - just to it least try it

 

i would just like to say - i have just realised i can make a new audio recording with quicktime player using my lexicon/setup - which i will use in the meantime - so it is officially a logic problem - please keep helping tho as it is a lot easier to record in logic than to record in quicktime and copy paste into logic

 

somehow i got it working but it's really buzzy and only in the right ear??

then i did some more stuff to it and now i've lost it again - i've no idea what i did

so carry on as you were

 

when it did work it said input 1-2 instead of front left

----------

i just clicked on front right and made everything stereo

and it's working but still buzzy as hell

nearly there

feelings of euphoria
