Alsa and Youtube
I try to avoid Jack for simplicity and I use an old Motu as a mixer to send both 204HD and builtin outputs to monitors.
Do you guys have another way of doing this or this the 'usual way' when using Alsa in Reaper ? |

Try Alsa Mixer- to give you a GUI
https://www.maketecheasier.com/alsa-...-command-line/ https://sourceforge.net/projects/aomix/ https://alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Download If you have a problem maybe it is PULSE? did you autosuspend it in Reaper? tc |

I use Jack for when I'm working alone and have to connect together different software, like Chrome < > Reaper.
When working with Reaper and clients I use just ALSA. |

1. Behringer UMC1820/ADA8200 for REAPER 2. Motherboard audio for everything else 3. V-Drums audio for jamming and practicing drums 4. 2nd video monitor audio (security system/Roku/Raspberry Pi) I can jam around on bass, guitar and V-Drums while playing YouTube music videos, and while streaming music from Roku and Kodi. Essentially, everything can play at the same time. |

The analog mixer as it's advantages at home but on the road with a laptop it's a little too much. |

I'm not an expert, but as far as I understand it, with plain alsa, using multiple audio sources simultaneously is difficult if not impossible. For general multimedia there are solutions like PulseAudio, but that's not designed for the kind precision and latency that DAWs need, so it doesn't perform well with DAWs... Reaper wants full control of the audio interface in order to work reliably, so other sources are just blocked.
Personally I just don't even try to use other audio applications while I have Reaper open. Luckily I don't generally need them... |

Although I haven't got around to doing this myself ( which i will eventually do hopefully ) I believe what you are trying to achieve can be done using 'dmix' here is a link that will maybe get you started if you want to have a go at it. Remember to backup any files that you are editing and maybe take notes on the changes that you are making to your system.

I think REAPER wants exclusive access to all audio when using ALSA so it may not be possible.
Pipewire or Jack with pulseaudio-jack package can do it. In Cadence, it has a GUI to easily start and stop a bridge for Pulseaudio to Jack. |

The problem is Reaper does not support setting a custom pcm device like pcm.default, so what ever at least in my case I shove into asoundrc and try route and split does not work with it and think by now I've exausted if not all possibilities.
