Default Playback from ProTools to Soundcraft SI impact board

I am wondering if it is possible to play back from ProTools to my Soundcraft SI Impact board. I am able to setup patches to record into protools from my Si Impact but I am not finding a way to run it back so I can hear it through the Main PA speakers. Any help would be greatly appreciated with this.

The answer to this is super easy and basic audio 101 - run the output of your computer back through the mixing console. The connections get a little tricky depending on your computer system and audio interface. And without any system info we're just wasting time. There is no such thing as TMI (too much information) when asking for help here. There's a lot of knowledgeable people here but we're not psychics or remote viewers; giving an answer that would definitely work for you given what you've told (actually not told) us is impossible.

additional:
I did a little digging and you do have some system info in your profile and that's good. I'm guessing that you are using the Soundcraft as your audio interface and this is where it gets hairy without that info. If you are you should be able to select from an output field of an audio or aux track in PT the board. Check your board's documentation for what it would be called. This is assuming you have things set up correctly in Windows or PT setup. I'm not that knowledgeable with modern Windows specifics (Mac guy here).

same problem: No sound back to Impact after recording into protools.

Set up is as follows:
iMac 2011 27" 3.4Ghz Intel Core i7
32 gigs ram
SSD operating System Drive and additional Internal 1TB HD
El Capitan 10.11.6
Protools 12.7
Interface: Apollo Quad Firewire.

Records fine from Impact console to Protools
Will not play back to Impact Console.

Why?

Read sections 5.1 and 5.4.1 of the Soundcraft user manual and make sure to download the current drivers for the console if connecting via usb.

You will need to setup routing internally on the console.

@ biztwinz. You are using an Apollo Quad interface. How are getting the output of the Quad to the console? Again, console routing is probably the issue if you have the Quad output connected to the Impact.
