The inspector and the mix console each show different router settings for the same track.
Hi,
I cannot reproduce this issue. Or is this already a known and reported issue?
If not, can you please explain how this happened, even better, provide a step by step procedure?
Which Cubase version (Pro, Artist, etc) are you on, which OS etc?
It’s been reported to Steinberg. From what I heard the current behaviour is by design.
So this is not so much a bug fix but a request to change the design. I am working on trying to convince Steinberg to change it and it would be awesome to see some more support for the request.
Thanks for the response!
I reported it when I first noticed it in Cubase 13 Pro, probably about a year ago. I am now running Cubase 14 Pro (14.0.05) on Windows 11 Pro 23h2 and the problem still exists.
How to I created it:
I opened Superior Drummer 3 and created separate outputs for each drum category (Kick, snare, toms, etc.) and routed each of those drums to the separate outputs in SD3. I then selected all of the output tracks that SD3 created in Cubase and after right-clicking on a track I chose- “Group Track to selected tracks” The result was that all of the individual outputs now are routed to this drum bus group. I then selected my hi hat and cymbals tracks and used the same procedure to create a new (metals) group track. Now, I click on each Cubase output track one at at time and in the inspector window it shows that each output is routed to the drum bus, which is incorrect.
However as I showed in my previous image, the routing in the mix console is correct showing the two tracks I changed to the metals group as being routed to the metals group. (I did just now recreate this in an empty project.)
Let me know if you need any more info.
Hope this helps!

Thanks. There is no need for more info, the matter is perfectly clear. The output routing display in the Inspector always shows the output routing of the main out. It does not change to display the output routing of the selected audio return channel.
Displaying the wrong group bus routing in the track inspector is by design ? lol. I’m confused as to why it gets stuck on the incorrect “Drum Bus Group”, but of course it should update to the “Metals Bus Group” if that’s what you routed the tracks to. How could this current behaviour be beneficial in any way ? I don’t understand.
I let an old wise man take over…
Obi-Wan has taught you well, young Skywalker…
Thanks Mike for explaining - that is indeed very confusing! No idea how this could possibly be of any benefit as a default. It’s just wrong - but what do I know…
May the force be with us 
By design? Then how come I can change the routing in the inspector at all? You can choose the routing there but it just changes back to the previous routing for what seems like no reason.
Seeing conflicting routings for the same track is, at the very least, confusing.

Yeah this needs to be addressed and fixed by Steinberg.
Where was this stated?!
I used direct communication with Steinberg and was lucky enough to receive a reply.
