Voicemeeter Stress / VB Audio Cable (how to get a Sonar Sound recorded with Audacity or something else)

Apps like voicmeeter are designed for people who are using their computers on board sound card. Why would you want to install iffy 3rd party apps when you own an audio interface? 

These apps are not (only) for on board sound and they are not in the category of "generic drivers", they allow flexible audio routing in case (any) hardware interface and OS own features are insufficient.

Sonar generally doesn’t like generic audio drivers and staff always advise to remove all of them and only use your interface ASIO drivers.

Generic drivers can disturb dedicated ASIO drivers, it is recommended to remove them in case of problem, as a part of troubleshooting. And keep them removed in case they are not needed, to avoid these problems appear. That is a good advise for everything not used (not only for audio processing). But when you explicitly use something for a good reason, and that can be generic driver, it is fine. If it works.

I spotted the FL Studio generic driver in your screenshot which is on the list of things that you need to delete from the registry if you’re having problems with audio. 

In this thread there was no discussion about any "problems with audio". It is "how to" thread

The FL Studio driver is there because I sometimes use another DAW. That should be okay, right?
Since you're so knowledgeable about audio, I have one more question: Does this "loopback stuff" also support ASIO, or does it only work with Wasabii herbs?  🙃

WASAPI does not require anything to record any WASAPI output (so loop-back, f.e. system sounds), except recording application should be able to work that way (from my knowledge Sonar doesn't, Audacity does). But that doesn't work with ASIO  outputs (at least in my tests).

Real interface loopback logically should support all directions, but was primary intended to record something (not ASIO) into DAW (ASIO), I mean not other way around.  At the moment I don't have Focusrite to check.
