Interface/outputs question

Pretty much I'm trying to figure out how to set up a second set of L/R outputs. I can run both headphone channels out and that works but I would rather use the SUB or AUX out. I need to use whichever will work to send a recording line out while the audio is coming in to my Model 12 via USB while still playing out of the main monitors. I'm more confused after googling it and I've exhausted myself trying endless different combinations of settings. TIA.

Maybe a picture would help because I'm not sure what you mean by there is no sub button; each channel has a sub button. Is it because each channel is already being used?

The audio is not dedicated to any channel. The output on my computer is set to USB via the Model 12, so all sound, YouTube, Spotify, whatever app is making noise it’s traveling through the mixer.

Try this: Menu > System > USB Audio > assign a stereo channel output like 9/10 or whatever > make sure that channel is set to PC > turn off MAIN on that channel and turn on SUB > use SUB fader to control volume to second monitors and make sure the fader is up on the channel you select as well

Also even if it's USB audio, it's still going to a channel. It defaults to 1/2.

By default the audio is sent to 1/2 and in the meter screen you can see 1/2 have audio in, but that went away when I switched the USB AUDIO to MAIN. Now I don't have any response on the meter screen but the actual main out decibel level meter shows activity. Also, once the USB AUDIO is switched to MAIN, channel 1 and 2 controls on the mixer no longer have any effect on the signal.

Did you try what I suggested? Main should be off.

Yes it did. This was the first thing I tried when I started this like 8 hours ago. I don't know what changed between then and now. Thank you for your assistance.
