Narrative:

Training flight for new first officer. Got clearance, set it up in radios. Switched first officer audio panel to ground on #1 radio, but didn't switch my own. Called taxi, and received and heard 'runway 35R.' I started to taxi and first officer said he didn't hear anything. It should have occurred to me that something wasn't right. He then said he could hear (both or headsets). Continue taxi to runway 35. Performed checks and briefing. Then 'clearance' called and asked if we were at the end of runway 35R. I responded 'yes we are and will be ready to go in a min.' it was at this time I noticed radios were set for clearance frequency and not ground. Second time today missed frequency or misset frequency. Must slow down when training and take special notice when first officer/trainee mentions something isn't right. It's not always a problem with the headset. It's the setup!
