Can You Help Me Find a Sound Card Work-Around?

Beepster
I have that exact interface and gave up on it for my new DAW because it was causing problems and frankly I found it a little confusing to use BUT one thing you have not mentioned is whether you have done anything within the Layla's control software.
 
I'm sure I could understand the Layla's in/out set up and the software much better now that I know more but I recall having a hell of a time trying to sync up my outputs to what my DAW was doing. You gotta cycle through multiple screens in the Layla software to get at the various channels and stuff. It may be just a matter of finding the right page for the 5/6 outs and unmuting them or something. Then maybe it'll work.
 
Those Layla's are OLD though and I'm not even sure whether they are keeping up with their drivers. I just kept mine because it works on my old XP/Nuendo DAW (and actually did on my Win7/Sonar DAW but would dropout because of the bridged legacy PCI issue) and because I can use it via the optical ADAT in on my Focusrite Scarlett 18i6 to get an extra 4 or 8 input connections as a slave unit.
 
I also hang onto it because the resale price is... not good. I'm hoping they release a new PCIe card that I can hook the box up to and update the drivers.
 
Good luck. Sorry I can't help more.

You know, I remember a routing interface when I had the 24/96 model before, but I thought they got rid of that for the 3G version I have now.

Let me check and see if there is a routing software I can use, because that just might work.

Thanks

The best quick fix for changing between your head phones and your speakers would be:
1) Have all your tracks / buses routed to one master bus that then goes to your main hardware out.
2) when ever you want to change just change the output of the main bus to the other hardware out.

X2 creates a main out for each pair of hardware outputs enabled in preferences. You create a master bus (or use the default Normal template) which points to one of the main out pairs. At least I would imagine most do not send tracks or buses other than the master bus and heaphone mixes directly to the main outputs. If all the audio resolves to a master bus changing the output of the master bus to a different main output pair would be a snap.
 
IOW a master bus is just a special case SONAR bus (using the Set as Default Bus option) in the bus section at the bottom of the track view and the middle section in the console view. The main outs are representation of the physical hardware outputs in the far right-hand section of the console view. Route all audio through the SONAR master bus and point the master bus to a main out.
