Welcome to FixYa!

I assume that you know your way around adobe audition 1.5 because I'm currently using adobe audition 3 on windows 7. The menus are different, but I'm going to give a few points that might help.

Windows Sound/Volume:
Make sure that the sound card you are using is selected, specially if you are using an additional external USB sound card (which is much better). Disable other sound cards, if any.

Adobe Audition:
One of the pull down menus located on the upper part, it has an option that says "Device Properties" or anything like that. This is where you set the input signal will be coming from and likewise the output signal.

The input signal should be the input of the sound card you selected in windows. Same goes for the output signal.

On multi-track view, check the track to be recorded. Make sure that the input is from the input of the sound card and not from anything else. The button for the setting is somewhere near the Solo/Mute/Record buttons.

If this will be set correctly, you will be able to play the song on the 1st track and record ONLY your voice on the 2nd track.

Keep me posted.

Thanks for using FixYa.

Did you check the logs? Rightclick stuff in the organizer window to send them to the multitrack, then name the tracks in multitrack if you can get it to open...or maybe your DDR2's falling out from all the bass?

Need more detail: 1. What sound card are you using?  - You need to make sure the correct hardware is selected as your record and playback types.  For instance, if you have more than one sound card, you could have easily the default one setup, but you really need your recording one - such as an ASIO driver - such as for external USB mixers.
2. What version of Windows?
My best guess is the hardware setup is off.  You have to have the correct hardware setup for Audition to see it.  Wave view and Multitrack view have diferent settings, each, so you have to set them up separately.

1. What version of Audition?
2. What version of Windows - or other OS?
3. Edit View and/or Multi-Track view issue?
4. Are you recording in Multitrack view, then listening in Edit view?  Each has its own hardware setup..

My best guess is that one of these thigns are true:

1. You have not enabled monitoring
2. In multitrack view, I believe you have to send each signal to the master, and then enable monitoring for the Master... but I can't remember for sure.

Post back to let us know

One of these must be the case:

1. You've not enabled monitoring in multitrack view.
2. The hardware setup is not correct under multitrack view.
3. You may have to (I forget if this was the case for sure or not) send each signal you're listening to to the Master... I'll have to look at home..

If that doesn't work, offer these clarifications, and I may can check into at home:

1. What version of Windows or other OS?
2. What version of Audition?
3. What sound hardware do you have installed (more than one? - please provide specific card(s)/device(s))

Follow these steps (Windows Vista):

Control Panel - Hardware and Sound - Sound - Manage Audio Devices - Record - Right click to show all the devices (including the deactivated ones) - Activate all the devices you can.

In Adobe Audition:
Edit - Audio Hardware Setup - Edit View - Control Panel button - Direct Sound Input Ports - Enable one device (default input will now show the device). Now you will be able to record sound.
