Topic: How to hear both DAW sound and PC sound in same headphones

I'm using Babyface Pro with Bitwig DAW, and headphones.

How can I set in TotalMix FX that I hear just DAW from one fader, and PC sounds (eg YouTube etc) from another fader.

So far I got it that the DAW sounds come from one fader, and PC sounds AND DAW (both) come from another ... and I JUST want to hear only PC sounds from the 2nd fader.

Any advice how to set this up?

Thanks

Updated:

For pc sound create a wdm device in rme driver settings for eg an12 and use this device as your default sound device in Windows.
In your DAW use eg an3/4 as output channels for the stereo sum.
Sound will show up in middle row (sw playbacks):
- an12 for pc sound
- an34 for DAW stereo summ.

Then in submix mode click to an hw output and create the submix for this output by moving the hw input and sw playback faders as you need.

Watch rme tutorial videos about tmfx...

...and in my blog I wrote a step by step guide for a good  1st time setup:

After that read the manual, it reads easier if you have already a basic understanding.

Thanks for the quick reply.

In the software playback I have AN 1/2 or PH 3/4 - are those the 2 you mean?

I'm not understanding your last line :  what is "submit mode"?

Re: How to hear both DAW sound and PC sound in same headphones

Hello - Can anyone help with this?  I'm still struggling to achieve my aim - I want DAW sounds from one software playback fader and PC sounds from another software playback fader.  Currently at the base of all the software playback faders shows "PH 3/4" - and if I change this it always changes to the same for all the faders.  Is this how it should be?

My Assign Main out = AN 1/2
Main Out B and Phones 1 = None
Phones 2 = PH 3/4

Is this how it should be?

Windows sound playback is set to Analog 3+4.

It seems you are in submix mode, if you click on PH 3/4 on the outputs you can see and set the mix for those.
Click on another output channel to create a different mix for these. The previously one which you set for PH 3/4 will remain active.

You can also set Total Mix to 'Free' mode to define which routing you want to see on each individual software playback fader.

I can also recommend you press 'X' to see the Matrix for getting an overview on all your routings.
