UPDATE - Solved the problem and I am a moron. I had Windows 10 setting that allows apps to use microphone inputs disabled. I enabled that and routed the needed signal into a wdm recording device, in the settings of the device I enabled Listen to this device and selected the wanted wdm output device and got the gpu software to record said device and it works. I think Radeon software decided to switch back to Default audio device when the microphone device was not accessible. ffs I'm happy now but also feel foolish ._.

Hardware -
Gigabyte X399 Designare EX motherboard
RME Babyface Pro
M-Audio Profire 2626
M-Audio Profire 610
Behringer Ultragain Pro
Behringer Ultralink Pro

I want to route PC WDM audio output to Babyface, from Babyface to 2626 to Ultragain to Ultralink back to 2626 and down to 610 back to RME Babyface Analog input (Microphone Inputs) and then back to PC WDM audio output devices. Reason is because AMD Radeon Video recording only takes those devices for audio recording. For the life of me I cant figure it out how to route the analog input signal in Total Mix to pc audio output devices for the gpu software to pick up. I spent 9 hours straight last weekend trying to come up with a way and more times in the past but I'm stuck. I even tried using FL studio to route the signal but I didn't get it to work

The objective is using the Ultragain for distortion and sound colouring, Ultralink for quick channel balance adjustment for mono/stereo monitoring and possible additional analog signal routing in the future; Using this signal path for enjoying Simracing games, you would not believe how weak the sound work is in a lot of sims and you would not believe the difference and adrenaline inducing warhymns after getting a vacuum tube treatment; Getting that signal routed in such a way the AMD software can record it because right now I have only managed to record whats coming straight from the PC.

I am aware there are additional software tools that can do the job but I want to do it on a hardware level, I just refuse to accept that this isn't possible. If you have managed to route audio interface signals to windows wdm output devices please help me, any piece of information is welcome.

For people wondering why the f I have three interfaces: Babyface has the best DA/AD and is my main output to my monitors but it has very limited connectivity so I compensate that with running ADAT Input and Output between RME and 2626 which acts like and outboard mixer. I thought that I need an analog signal path so I got the 610 and ran that as an analog output for the RME and use the main volume control knob to adjust monitor volume gain and kept the 2626 as digital output to RME via ADAT, the 2626 and 610 are also connected via coaxial cable (S/PDIF). Plus I was too lazy to stretch my hand every time I needed to adjust volume gain and put the 610 close to my mouse.

PS. I keep my mobo audio devices disabled because I don't want additional clutter and processing power to waste on something I don't use anyway.

The bit about the AMD Radeon graphics card is incomprehensible to me. The RME Babyface Pro should be the last device connected to your PC; it delivers the best possible quality driver for your DAW. The graphics card should be for the monitor, games, etc., but not for music production.

It's better to keep games and your DAW separate.

If you want to play games, set the default sound driver on your motherboard and use additional software such as Equalizer APO (advantages: graphic equalizer, significant increase in system volume).

If the maximum volume level on your Windows PC isn't sufficient, you can increase the system sound by up to 20 decibels with the free "Equalizer APO." A graphic equalizer helps to adjust the bass, mids, and treble accordingly. https://sourceforge.net/projects/equalizerapo/files/1.4.2/

The babyface IS the last thing before the monitors and I use it for everything, I don't use the gpu audio stuff at all and have them disabled, all my audio is exclusively routed through hardware. And I specifically don't want to use additional software and want to do it on a hardware level as described. There is no problem with volume gain, I have exactly five audio hardware points in which to raise gain and I have to keep most of it in minimum settings in order to not destroy my speakers. But I solved the problem already after a heavy dose of coffee and vitriol.

 

What did they do to solve the problem? It would certainly be helpful for the readers here to know how they proceeded.

 

I remembered everything I tried before and thought about things I didn't with the same attitude as a McDonalds employee serves an obnoxious and entitled prick. I also updated the original post with what I did.

 

I´ve done complex routings before with 2 pc´s tape machine and stuff like that also DSP card and an amp for saturation...

I won't really bash my head considering i don't know about Radeon/video stuff but you can try this:
VB-Audio ASIO Bridge
HiFi-Cable and ASIO Bridge by VB Audio - Virtual Audio Device Driver ASIO Bridge Application (kvraudio.com)

If you route the audio from the last device you got working wia "listen to this device" and playback it via Asio Bridge you can output it wherever you want, technically.

Edit: It might be that you edited while i was typing but anyway, maybe it helps to someone else.
