I Downloaded and installed new Motu Audio Express Driver setup (on Motu site a few weeks ago) . And now no computer audio output to the Main Out (01/02). Actually, the Main Out (1/2) no longer appears as an option in the Windows Sound setup. All computer sound (Explorer, Youtube, BIAB...) only goes to the Phones. All other sounds still work fine (Reaper, Mic and Line in). It is just Youtube Explorer and BIAB sounds which only go to headphones. Reaper still outputs to Main Out 01/02. But BIAB no longer shows Main Out 1/2, it just has the Phones out with the other channels shown in the picture below.
• I tried to reinstall old drivers. It did not change them.
• I tried to contact Motu – useless, they have no record of my registration and when I try to reregister, it will not allow since it says my S/N is already registered. Yieeps.

Any Ideas??

Within that playback window, right click on an unused bit of space, you should get a small box for "Show disabled devices" and "Show disconnected devices" with a tick box, place a tick in those boxes if there isn't one already. You should hopefully then see that the speaker outputs are showing but disabled, right click on them and enable them.

Thanks for suggestion CN. I had that base covered, all were being shown.

Found the solution - it was very strange, no simple logic could have solved this one.

Glad it was actually as easy as that, however a really illogical description for the function as you said.

All fixed. I spoke with my Sweetwater guy or spoke with his guy who called me and teamviewed in. He uninstalled and reinstalled the new drivers. This time all went well.

It is nice to have guy...
