Armed track records ALL tracks

Question

I've tried searching for a solution to my problem before posting but couldn't find anything. Here's my problem:
When I arm a track for recording and then hit record all the music from my existing other tracks get recorded onto the new armed track, instead of just the input I am trying to record, in this case a guitar.
I assume it's something to do with the audio setup, soundcard config, input/output or monitoring etc. but I just can't figure it out. I've currently got my monitoring set to External Mix because when I select Audition Mix (Smart Input or Always Input) a horrible distortion creeps into my headphones & increases until I de-arm the track.
Also, I can hear my desired input in my headphones so it seems like the basic input is working. I just need to 'cut out' the input of all the other tracks.
I used to be able to record just fine, but my computer has had some rough times & something obviously changed in my setup.
Thanks!

^AAAbsolutely 100% not true.
is this a joke?  anybody can go the forum buddy and there's many questions on the board right now, very pertinent questions that have not been answered.   I'm sure somebody knows the answer or atleast could say that there is no way of accomplishing a specific task yet nobody has.
very snooty over there too, you can get banned for typing in the wrong syntax...people are over there apologizing for making two posts in the same week for fear of getting banned.
You're running a nazi concentration camp over there, snap out of it you morons, that board is doomed if it continues on it's current path.
I don't need to defend Steve G and the forum moderators etc at AudioMasters but
(a) Steve's comment on questions being answered at that forum "where answers are possible" is "AAAbsolutely 100% true"
(b) You, and one or two others like you, are at least a substantial part of the reason why this Adobe forum is much less popular and much less used than it used to be.
You really do NOT need to belittle and use obscene language to or about people whose views you disagree with.  I for one very much echo Steve's sentiment, which others have voiced in various posts, that it is a great shame that the lack of moderation/supervision here allows such posts as yours to remain on public view for all to read.
