Turning the monitor control all the way should give you only the playback source in the output.

But you can record mono inputs to mono tracks in Audacity, if this is what you want.
If you ...

The M-audio 24/96 soundcard is not designed to do what you are asking. If you wanted a simple, single-piece solution for handling mic input and headphone output, you could look at a small external mixer with USB interface to the computer.
The Modmic is a cheap electret mic capsule with a 3.5mm plug designed to connect to the (pink) mic input connector on a ...

My M-Audio Mobile Pre-USB is not recognized my Yosemite; I can get it to work by unplugging the usb cable and re-plugging it in but it's gone after the next restart.
Cant find any updated drivers (yet). Strange behavior and inconvenient but it is a work around.

USB MIDI devices work with any OS if they are "class compliant".
This is true for the Axiom 61, as well for almost all other USB MIDI devices.
