If you google for: RME zoom
Then you get plenty of hits:

Using "assign" you placed the channel only to the control room so that control room operations like mute or dim are possible.

It's still possible to hit the "Tool / Wrench" symbol of the AN1/2 channel that you most likely assigned as "Main" channel in the control room.

Once you click to this wrench symbol then you will see further settings of the channel ... and ... "Loopback".
Manual ch 25.3.1 page 58.

I assume that the zoom application does not support ASIO.
So you might need to create a windows compatible WDM driver in the RME driver settings.
But if those Videos are for Windows, then this should also be explained.

In this synthax audio video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCivF5Q … e=emb_logo
I got also the information, that the zoom application can only work with the first two channels.

In this video you get general information for the smaller interfaces for Apple.
Starting with 04:55 you see what needs to be done on the larger interfaces, where the Mic inputs are at AN9-12.
1. In Submixmode select the channel HW Output AN1/2 in the bottom row of TM FX.
2. Click to the wrench/tool symbol and enable loopback.
    By this you will "virtually" (by TM FX software) patch output AN1/2 to it's corresponding input AN 1/2
3. Raise the fader of HW Input AN9 in top row
    Click to the wrench/tool symbol to enable 48V for condenser mics and to set the gain for the mic.

Windows specfic part. As Zoom does not support ASIO we need to create Windows compatible WDM drivers.
This is being done in RME Driver Settings as soon as you enable a WDM driver you will see it as additional icon in
the Windows sound settings to be used for all applications that do not support ASIO drivers.
Steps:
4. In the Windows Notification area (bottom right of the desktop) you find the icon for the RME driver settings
5. In the Driver settings you see a section "WDM devices", click to the button configure
6. In the TAB "WDM Devices" select Analog (1/2), close this window and the driver settings.
    Now a WDM driver entry in the Windows Sound settings has been created.
7. Open Windows Sound and validate this.

Now you can select AN1+2 in Zoom for your input.
By the routing of AN9 (Mic in) to AN1+2 OUT and loopback enabled
you can listen now to your Mic through the windows/zoom compatible WDM driver Analog(1+2).

Of course its possible to hear sound from the Mic Input directly on any output you want.

TM FX
1. check whether submix mode is still active (right side blue area)
2. select the output channel for which you want to customize your submix.
3. Raise the fader of HW input AN9

Strange, no idea.
I would reset the mixer and retry.
1st a simple routing from Mic to Monitors as you say even this is not working.
This has nothing to do with ASIO or WDM driver.
This is simple routing on the device which should even work in standalone-mode without PC connected.

Did you allow the 'Microphone' for the UFX II / TotalMix?

Best would be to use phones to build up something compareable to a headset
to decouple audio from speaker to the mic to avoid a feeback loop.

Or you need to play a little with
- selection of mic (dynamic mic, stage mic)
- mic positioning
- use of low volume on monitors

BTW .. I do not use this application, was just best guess based on the information that I saw in the video,
simply trying to help.

You are right, if the output is restricted for AN1/2 then you have it on the main monitors. Maybe one experiment: it might also help to make your phones output to the windows default sound device by creating an WDM device for phones in the RME driver settings and to make this device the default windows speaker device. Not sure, but try.

Hmm. You use the Mic Gain to make the input signal louder.
In the Windows Mixer you could try to turn down the volume for zoom application towards the default sound device (=AN1/2 where your speakers are connected to). If I remember right in the Windows Mixer there is also a volume control per active application.

It might also help to contact zoom support and ask them for making the application more flexible / configurable in terms of the selection of input and output and maybe even to add ASIO support. Maybe they do it, if there are more requests for that.

Indeed, I had realized that in the meantime, but thanks for mentioning!

I am still struggling to get the audio from my DAW routed to Zoom though, any tips on how to achieve this?
