Monitoring recording in Audacity

I recently downloaded Audacity with the intention to do some straightforward recording and overdubbing. Although I am monitoring my guitar through Helix on headphones, when I play back the track I have recorded I am not getting anything through my headphones only through the internal speakers of my laptop. Is this a USB issue? Help appreciated.

Helix ASIO? Not sure what this is. Can you please put this in words that an old non tech savvy guy would understand.

When you are in your DAW, you should be able to choose the Helix ASIO Driver as your output device.  That is the driver your PC will use (Audio Stream Input/Output driver) Then for individual track outputs, you should be able to choose USB 1-7 to the Helix.

Audacity does not support ASIO out of the box, but you can compile it to support ASIO.

I would recommend giving Reaper a try, it is free to demo and IMHO well worth the $60 for the license.

Reaper does work quite well with Helix and is pretty simple to use.
