Once you know where you want them to go, just right click that device in the left-hand column and tell it to send the system sounds there. Just be aware that if the computer is near a mic, it'll pic up the sounds. If you do need to hear them, send them through your system out. They'll just go off into nowhere that way. I recommend downloading Soundflower and sending them there if you don't care about hearing them. If I don't want system sounds to record, I have to go to Audio MIDI Setup and send the system sounds elsewhere whilst recording. The UAD Apollo will default to playing the system sounds, input, and output automatically when turned on. I use Universal Audio interfaces on a Mac. Like others have said, it depends on your interface, DAW, and OS. I hope this points you in the right direction. It could have been the driver, FL Studio, or even both since this was about 5 years ago and the software wasn't even close to as good back then. Even after purchasing an extremely simple midi-interface to try to circumvent using the audio input option, it was still a huge pain in the butt getting it to work and wouldn't even work consistently whenever I tried to use FL Studio. I know back when I had a (very) old version of Realtek High Definition Audio Driver, it was a HUGE pain to get it to work with my MicroKorg. Other drivers have this feature too, so look into that as well. For example if you have the ASIO4ALL universal audio driver, it automatically is set to only play sounds from the application you currently have open and in the forefront. You might even have a 3rd party audio driver which already has these options. It is more than likely that your specific audio interface will come with its own driver to create additional options for the inputs and outputs. The built in audio driver (which is not very good) has quite limited options on what lines in and out can be used since it only has one major input and output source. If you were on a PC, it would all depend on your driver. I have mine setup to play my computer sounds made by the computer itself through the internal speakers while having all other audio play through my monitors plugged into my EIE Pro. Macs have a utility in the applications folder called Audio Midi Setup (Applications/Utilities/Audio Midi Setup) which allows you to directly control your input and output channels. It also depends on if you have a Mac or PC. I do this occasionally with Ableton into Reason or vice versa since Reason doesn't support VSTs or other types of 3rd party plugins. Of course the only exception would be if you are using ReWire with an external 3rd party application. It would be a terrible design flaw if this weren't the case. Each DAW is different too but as far as I know, every DAW exports audio without any interference from outside audio sources (running applications, computer sounds, games, etc) making the point of whether or not your audio interface plays these sounds irrelevant. Even further, it lets me specify what inputs and outputs to use on each individual channel. My Akai EIE Pro, for example, when used in Ableton can be set to have it specifically use any of the inputs and outputs or all of them. Nowadays, almost every audio interface has a driver with additional options that either expand upon or work separately from your built in audio driver so it will vary from product to product so you would have to check with the ones your interested in.
