Long shot but check the Matrix mixer setting for USB In 1/2 and the physical Output layer you are monitoring (1/4”, XLR, Phones). That meter in the Matrix should indicate whether or not you are receiving a signal from the DAW. If you’re not receiving any signal then the problem is in the computer/DAW setup.

I am seeing a signal to the far side of the matrix mixer only

 

Stadium is hooked to computer via usb-c and the PreSonus studio 192 audio interface has the studio speakers installed in it in rear

Studio One Pro 6 software has stadium set as audio interface but no sound

If the Stadium is set as the audio interface and the speakers are connected to the Studio 192 device then I would not expect to hear sound from the speakers. 
 

What do you hear through phones connected to the Stadium? I’m not clear about what you’re saying in the previous two posts. Is it perhaps because your guitar is mono and maybe only coming through the L in a stereo channel?
 

Maybe connect the speakers to the Stadium outputs?

The Stadium driver uses ASIO which means the same device must be used as the audio input and output device. Specifically you can’t use Stadium as the input device and the 192 as the output device. You must choose one  of them to use one of them as your interface for the DAW; the other can be used as an analog device if necessary.
 

If you use Stadium as your DAW interface then either your speakers should be connected to the Stadium OR connect the Stadium analog outputs to your Studio 192 analog inputs which will then deliver the sound to your speakers. In the latter case your Studio 192 device will not communicate with the DAW. Why do you need the 192? Other non-Stadium inputs?

I got this from online??

 

The best setup leverages Helix Stadium XL as a USB audio interface for multi-channel recording, connected via USB-C to your computer running Studio One 6 or Adobe Audition, while the Presonus 192 provides additional high-quality analog input/output for monitoring, re-amping, and expanding routing flexibility.
Hardware Connections
1. Helix Stadium XL USB-C Connection
Connect the Helix Stadium XL to your computer via the USB-C port for multi-channel recording. Use the Helix as a 24-bit USB audio interface for sending dry and processed signals simultaneously to your DAW

.
Use the HX Edit application to configure input/output routing, edit presets, and manage impulse responses for accurate amp/cab simulation

2. Presonus 192 Integration
Use the Presonus 192 as your main audio I/O device for high-quality studio monitoring and additional input sources (e.g., mics, synths, or drum machines).
Route the Helix XL stereo or multi-channel outputs into the Presonus 192 line inputs to unify your system under Studio One 6 or Adobe Audition for recording and processing.
Optionally, send the DAW outputs through the Presonus 192 to powered studio monitors to achieve accurate playback and monitoring

3. Instrument and Effects Routing
Connect guitars or other instruments to Helix Stadium XL’s Instrument 1/2 inputs.
Consider using the 4-Cable Method if integrating external tube amps: send preamp effects from Helix, through the amp, and return the signal via FX Loop to achieve processing before and after the amp

.
For pedal and additional FX routing, use Helix Stadium XL’s FX, Send/Return, and MIDI ports to control external gear or automate presets

Software Setup
1. Studio One 6
Set Studio One 6's audio device to the Presonus 192 or Helix XL (USB) depending on whether you want multi-channel Helix recording or extensive interface routing.
Create separate tracks for Helix dry input and Helix processed channels. This allows re-amping and high flexibility with effects during mixing 
1
.
Use Studio One’s built-in EQ, compression, and reverb for final touches while retaining Helix amp and cab tone fidelity.

2. Adobe Audition
Configure Adobe Audition to recognize Helix XL as a USB audio interface for recording.
For stereo guitar tracks or multi-channel IG recording, ensure correct input assignment and disable any low-latency monitoring conflicts.
Use Audition primarily for detailed editing, mastering, and processing recorded Helix tracks.
Best Practices
Avoid running Helix and Presonus drivers simultaneously in exclusive mode to prevent driver conflicts.
Keep Helix firmware and HX Edit software updated to ensure stable USB interface performance

.
Label and organize I/O routing within Studio One 6 for easy switching between live inputs, stereo routing, and re-amping scenarios 
1
.
Use balanced XLR or TRS cables for all long runs to prevent noise and preserve signal integrity.
Consider headphones via Helix’s Phones output for zero-latency tracking.

Summary Recommendation
Live Studio Recording Setup:
Guitar → Helix Stadium XL Instrument input.
Helix outputs → Presonus 192 line inputs → Studio One 6/Audition.
Monitors → Presonus 192 outputs.
Optional: External amp via 4-Cable Method for preamp/driver effects.
USB-C for DAW multitrack and re-amping.
This setup provides the maximum flexibility for direct recording, re-amping, multi-track DAW recording, and suburban live monitoring, fully leveraging the capabilities of Helix Stadium XL, Presonus 192, Studio One 6, and Adobe Audition
