Default Basic routing problem?

Hi, I'm a Mac OSX Sierra 10.12.6 user running REAPER through an RME UFX. Everything had been running smoothly for a couple of years until tracks 1 and 2 started acting up on me a month or so ago.

Essentially, if I am recording on tracks 1 - 12, only tracks 3-12 will record. The VU meters for tracks 1 and 2 only light up when I am playing something back (e.g. mp3, recording session, YouTube). I have updated my RME driver as well as REAPER since the last OS update.

I figured this was a basic routing problem but after struggling for a while I came to pick your collective brains. Thanks in advance!

Hello costanzabandit and welcome to these forums. You'll find many helpful people here and a lot of useful information. Make sure that you:
Check Input Monitor on tracks 1+2.

Or, delete 1+2, duplicate what is now 1+2 (was 3+4).

When I enable Input Monitor on those tracks nothing changes. I also tried deleting the first two tracks, then highlighted 3 & 4 and duplicated them, then re-routed them to accept inputs from my interface's 1 and 2. Unfortunately no progress yet, but thanks for the ideas. I will read up on those links you posted.

OK,
(a) please post a pic of your audio device settings in Reaper's Preferences
How to describe your hardware set-up (in Post #3)

And, (b) perhaps you could compress a simple problem project file (no audio samples needed) into a ZIP file and post it here as an attachment so that we can have a look at it and see what's (not) happening?

Hi Darkstar,
I solved the problem. Thanks for keeping me motivated with your quick and non-condescending replies. Turns out is was my audio interface that was the problem. I had "loopback" enabled on my channel 1/2 hardware outputs, which makes perfect sense. I'm still watching the videos though
Cheers!
