...loopback can be used with channels 5/6 & 7/8...
Thanks, along with downloading the latest
Mac driver from MOTU, enabling the input
Channel Configuration for channels 5/6 & 7/8 fixed the issue.
I believe the loopback signal on channels 5/6 are the just computer audio without signals coming into the M2/M4 (with -4db of headroom by default), and the loopback signal on channels 7/8 are a mix of audio coming from external inputs along with computer audio.

now with this Loopback feature is seems that it lets to record the input to your sound card and the output at the same time into your DAW. this is a new feature I haven't heard of before. Ableton doesn't support it, don't know if it's on their radar either.
I've been using loopback with Ableton since I bought it at version 7. Loopback is a function of the audio interface driver; to the DAW, a loopback input is just a set of inputs that just so happen to carry computer-generated audio. RME's Totalmix has had loopback functionality since forever (I used to use it with Logic 4 to sample from iTunes, DVDs, the internet, etc.) and MOTU's driver has had the function for at least the better part of a decade.
