I have been researching this issue here, on other forums and in youtube, unfortunately they are all for previous versions.
Either I am not understanding the implementation or my use case is different to those offering solutions.
My control room is configured as shown, a few people have intimated that I need to set up a ‘monitor’ bus here in order to here the preview of media bay samples.
I have tried this but, of course, if I try to assign Analogue 1 and 2 to the monitor bus it disables those outputs for the main ‘focal’ output.
As suggested by others simply disabling Control room wrecks my workflow and is time consuming.
I simply want to route the media bay preview to the ‘focal bus’ , should it be this difficult ? 
I’m hoping I’m just being thick and there is a simple solution which I am missing …
Not sure, but I think the audition bus has to be the “studio” bus. Is the Focal the “studio” bus?
Hi Albikersone,
I use the same control room main monitor that, in my setting, correspond to my MOTU 828mkII main outputs as I don’t use them for the stereo output; I only lower the volume a bit before prewieving the files, in case they are too loud (You can easily set a reference level in the CR)

Not sure what you mean by ‘Studio bus’ ,
outputs of theAudient id44Mk2
Analogue 1-2 feeds my Focal Monitors (A)
Analogue 3-4 feeds my JBL monitors (B)
Analogue 5-6 feeds my headphones
In Control Room I can select between the 2 sets of monitors A or B
I can hear the media bay preview through the Headphones, it would like to route them to a pair of monitors.
The manual makes no mention of the audio routing, at least tha that I can find …
I use my 2 main monitor outputs for the stereo output …
Check the preferences. There should be an option to route the preview either to headphones or monitor bus.

If you can point me to the setting then please do, I’ve been through pretty much every one, still can’t see it 
Thanks very much 
, unticking this routed the media bay preview to the main outputs
I was clearly suffering ‘option blindness’
So it now seems that when, using the control room, and switching between speakers and headphones we have to dive into this menu and flip this checkbox ?
I’m sure Steinberg could improve on this workflow
Luckily the comprehensive ‘Key Commands’ editor means I’ve been able to assign a key command to this option and assign a streamdeck key to chanhe it more easily

Sorry, I intended Stereo Out…
I use a similar configuration to the one you use but I route my main soundcard outputs to the main outputs in CR as I don’t need to connect Stereo Out to another pair of monitor and I can hear everything in the CR… Hope I explained clearly…
