I took delivery of my POD xt Live yesterday. Now I need to get it working. I'm a computer engineer and a guitar player, but when it comes to recording with the POD (or anything else for that matter) I'm a total beginner!

I have an Intel dual core motherboard and processor XP Pro SP3,, 2 x 400 GB Hard Drives and 4GB RAM. It has a built-in Intel Sound card (which nothing musical seems to recognize!) so this is diables in the BIOS and I put in an M-Audio, Audiophile 192 Sound Card. This computer will ONLY be for music.

Now I understand the POD xt Live acts as a Sound Card, so the question is, should I take out the Audiophile (which means I assume that I can't play music through my speakers from other muic Software (like Winamp)) or can I leave it in?
