I solved this. I bought a Sabrent USB plug in sound card. Cakewalk recognized both cards, so Cakewalk is using the USB sound card and the computer is using the built-in Realtek driver. Sound cards for PCs seem to be dinosaurs. My computer doesn’t even have any extra slots for any cards. I have the two outputs going to a mixer so I can adjust the volumes individually including headphones. Just what I needed. Thanks for everyone’s input.

I play electronic drums. I am using Sonar with Steven Slate drums VST. I play along to songs on YouTube or other sources. I need to separate the sound from each program to an input on a mixer console so I can adjust the volume independently. Can I do this using two sound cards, one sending output from Sonar and one sending sound from YouTube on the same PC with Windows 11? Then, I could wire to a mixer channel from each sound card.
