...Is there a way to connect the pod hd500 to be able

To adjust level  and pan in my sonar track why'll

Someone els is playing?...

I think that in Sonar the monitoring level and pan setting of a track can be changed while it's recorded or when is in playback regardless of the way the POD is connected, and maybe those parameters changes can also be recorded at the same time as an automation.. but for that topic you have to ask in the Cakewalk forum, or study the Sonar manual..

if you can't change the monitored track volume and pan setting maybe you have to toggle some Sonar switch, let say: track monitoring on or off.. I don't know.. I use Cubase

regarding the HD500 you can connect it only in 3 ways: digitally through USB or S/PDIF, or through the analog inputs of an audio card, that's it, no special tricks..

I think your issue depends only on Sonar track settings

...I noted too that if I turn of my computer

And play I still get sound from my monitors???

Is that normal??...

maybe yes if your monitors are connected to the UX8 still on..

this document may be of your interest: http://www.cakewalk.com/Documentation/default.aspx?Doc=SONAR%20X2&Lang=EN&Req=Recording.22.html

you're telling me that by connecting a guitar alone or with the pod at the same UX8 input, the track volume works only when is connected just the guitar?? ..
does not make any sense!
Are you kidding me?

the only logic explanation is that the UX8 input where you connect your POD is directly monitored out bypassing Sonar, and the UX8 input where you connect just the guitar is not directly monitored..

if instead in your experiment above the UX8 physical input used for the connections is the same for both the guitar alone and with the POD in between, as i said before: does not make any sense that the Sonar track volume influences only the guitar (alone) level, and not with the POD in between...

not at all

pity that you have not solved the problem
