Hello!

I have difficulties with the setup of my soundcard. I'm playing guitar through a Line 6 POD 2.0. Its ouputs go into Input 1 and Input 2 of the soundcard. I'm not quite sure how to connect my headphones though. Some guys on another forum told me not to connect them directly to the soundcard because they are meant to send information via line level. They recommended to buy a headphone amplifier and a Y-Stereo adapter.

Now comes a strange thing I don't understand. Yesterday I took 2 headphones, let's call them A and B. A was plugged into Output 1, all I could hear was the left side. B was plugged into Output 2, all I could hear was the right side. So far so good. Then I reversed them, A into Output 2, B into Output 1. Logically, I should hear the right side on A, left side on B, but that wasn't the case! I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND! How is that possible? Will everything be ok if I buy a headphone amplifier and then connect its two mono signals to my Y-adapter which goes then to my headphones? Will I hear both L and R?

Please help me, I'm very confused. Also, I don't seem to find the options tag in the Delta control panel to make sure that Input 1 is really routed to Output 1 and so on. I'm running Vista Home Edition.
