I've just gotten back to recording for the first time in 10 years, and am setting up Sonar.  My input/output is through USB, using the Behringer X1202 interface. This board is a bit limited, because I can't seem to route the USB signal back to the board to set up a headphone mix.
 
My question is kind of a plan B. the idea is to set up a bus in Sonar that allows me to send a mix to my performer out the onboard soundcard to a separate headphone mixer. The issue is that I can't seem to select multiple soundcards in edit/preferences/devices. The onboard inputs and outputs are greyed out if I have the USB device selected. I've been through the documentation but was curious if anyone has attempted this sort of solution, or run up against this issue.
 
Thanks in advance,
 
Brian
 
 
 

ASIO is one device/interface at a time regardless of the DAW.  In Windows anyway. 

Thanks for the input. I'm set to WASAPI Shared rather than ASIO, but no go, either way.

I tried having two ASIO interfaces installed at once.  It was ugly.  Choose one and uninstall the other.
 
Good luck!
 

Hello all,
The only time I was  able to use two interfaces was when I  had two m-audio 1010lt PCI cards linked together using one Asio driver. But, more and more PCI slots began going away. Newest comp. has one slot, so I  just use one card. This is still a great card. I wish m-audio would re-release an 'upgraded' card, maybe with PCIE ability. I now use the one card, plus a Behringer umc404hd. Drivers are loaded for both. I just have to change between drivers to use each unit. I know that one day the win 7 drivers for m-audio will go away😂, but until then, I'm  getting by.  Wonder why Asio cannot be designed to work with more than one unit. Must be difficult or someone would have done it. At least, have two Asio  set of drivers working side by side.
Hope this helps,
MJ

Hello all,

this is the only time asio will work across multiple devices, ie, if they are the same device x2

Same Manufacturer and ASIO works for me.
I have one PC that has 3 Echo Cards - A Layla 24, a Layla 3G and a Gina 24 and they're all available as ins or outs.
I have an other PC which has 2 Echo cards, a Gina 3G and a Gina 24 and both are available on that one also.

Maybe the drivers are close enough to be seen as same device but they're listed specifically by name and differently in Sonar.

Depends mainly on how the manufacturer has written the drivers.

A hack option is to use ASIO4ALL. I can't honestly recommend it because it can be glitchy and cause unforeseen issues, but for some people it works great. It's an ASIO "wrapper", basically you tell the free ASIO4ALL program/driver which soundcards to use and in Sonar you set driver mode to ASIO and the device to ASIO4ALL.
