Hi, Can anyone help me get the audio outputs showing on the start up screen for Cubase Pro 15. I see the correct audio driver, but then just a prompt to open audio connections next to it. The audio is set up correctly under the studio, audio connections settings.
Hi,
Do you use Control Room? Could you attach a screen shot of your Audio Connections > Outputs and Audio Connections > Control Room, please?
Apparently this area changes depending on whether Control Room is activated or not.
Thanks Johnny. I had read that control room might impact this, and indeed de-activating control room brings the audio inputs visible on the start screen. Seems a very odd thing to have one or the other available though.
So, does this mean we have to choose between using the control room and having the track previews working, or is there a way to make both work at the same time?
Nevermind, the preview seems to be working even if the Hubās outputs are not showing.
If you are using control room. The preview is played through the audition output.
Hi,
By default, the buses are named Monitor.
The output selection in the hub is meant as a quick and easy way to select the default output for many standard cases and especially make it easier for new users. It canāt depict complex routing setups and in such cases would actually have the potential of making unwanted changes since only a portion of the routing was displayed. Thats why we decided to not have it available at all and instead give a shortcut to the full audio connections.
Doh. I thought my XML preferences for RAMPresets and Defaults ācopy-and-pasteā action mangled my interface options, but now I see that overwriting the default presets with a preconfigured Control Room setup simply disabled the options.
This is good info, and makes more sense.
I learned from @Cubase-Erklaerbaer . 
I actually wasted quite a bit of time approaching a work-around, too. I think itās perfectly reasonable to expect some manner of documentation in that regard. Something like āIf you enable Control Room, the hub audio connection options change, including the inability to use the ātestā feature for the preview.ā
Itās a bit worse for me, as the absence of documentation for such an obvious user-facing change makes me think either Iāve done something wrong or that the release is flawed. The absolute reliance upon Tribal Knowledge as a training mechanism or feature-change announcement isnāt the way to release software in my opinion.
Even Domās video doesnāt give any actual details (for the behavior nor how the new default folder options work) which just feels like a missed opportunity. I mean, there we are, watching a video on how to use the new features, yet significant UI, workflow, and feature-set details are omitted.
It just turns what would otherwise be excitement to engage with value-adding features and production workflow improvements to feeling like I have to dedicate a couple of hours every other day to embark on a journey of self-lead discovery and bug hunting.

P.S. I just realized this means that Dom doesnāt use Control Room, right? Iām surprised! I would think the vast majority of users depend upon it.
I mean, otherwise that means that he explicitly turned it off just for the making of the video, but didnāt bother explaining any of that in the actual āhow toā parts, which of course would defeat the purpose of making it.
There really seems to be some manner of non-trivial disconnect between the amazing team behind product development and those responsible for communicating those developments in the documentation. It seems like a missed opportunity to me, and I donāt mean that to sound unjustifiably critical.
When Iām using control room, I donāt see any way from the audio connections to do anything useful for the hub previews.
For me, hub previews use the control channel that I last selected when I had a project open, but when Iām at the hub, thereās no way to select a control room channel.
If I want to change the control room channel used for hub previews, I have to open a project, then select a control room channel. That will be used from then on as the preview channel when at the hub. Am I missing something here? What is the purpose of showing the audio connections from the hub?
No I donāt think youāre missing anythingā¦.. Unless they modify it to allow you to actually select a control room channel in audio connections then being able to open it is pretty pointless.
