another stupid question regarding setting up home recording

1
ok sorry for this one..
before i had my krk monitors i had a set of shit media speakers.
alas they are gone and the krk's are in effect. the old media speakers had a volume which was nice. the krk's dont so i bought a sm audio nanopatch in line passive volume to act as one. works great.
now my problem is this.
before in audition when i wanted to record acoustic stuff in the room i was some how able to turn off or turn down my monitors all the way and use headphones from my mixer, i could hear the track i was playing to in the phones and also what i was currently playing no problem. something has changed.
i no longer can acomplish this. i have tried tons of settings in audition for monitoring, fucked around with my delta44 cards ins and outs to no avail.
i dont remember how i had it set up all i know is that it worked and now it doesnt.

on my shit behringer mixer im running the tape outs to my delta44 1/2 ins, i am running my krks right out of the deltas 1/2 outs and i have the delta's 3/4 outs back to my tape in's on my mixer. what worked before no longer does , i used to just have to turn my monitors off or way down and hit the 'tape out to mix' button and i could do it all in the cans.
WTF happend and why cant i get it to work this way again?!

please ask anything you need to know ill do my best to answer

sorry for this stupidity

i guess i initially stumbled across a work around but cant get it to work again.

now, would an alt 3/4 mixer work how i want it? i suppose this behringer pos isnt made to both send and receive at the same time. so perhaps a mackie with alt 3/4? basicly i want to be able to use the monitors to listen when im doing direct/or electronic stuff that i dont have to mic, and turn them off flick a switch and be able to record acoustic stuff without feeding back like a banshee.
cuz as it now stands after i record the initial track i am unable to over dub and hear the initial track
if that makes sense.
