Ultralite Mk3 To Mac Pro - No Sound Options

[rostasi]

Hi,

First time post. I hope someone can help.

I have a digital Stanton turntable S/PDIF'd to an Ultralite mk3
and out to a 8-Core Mac Pro. When I check my sound Preferences on
the Mac, it shows that it's receiving sound from the turntable
(the imput level "meter" is animated with the sound from the LP)
and my output is set to "Line Out" (the way I've always listened to
things on my Mac - and that still outputs, say, iTunes).

Here are three screenshots if this helps:







I've tried playing around with different settings in the MOTU Audio setup,
but even tho the graphic meter (in Mac Preferences)
shows that it's receiving sound, I'm still unable to get anything
out of the external speakers with this MOTU setup
(tho I can still listen to iTunes, so it's not a speaker problem).
I opened up Audio Hijack Pro and a simple audio editor
and the sound never reaches there either, so I'm stumped

Also, headphones hooked directly to the UltraLite deliver sound.

Do I just have my settings wrong somehow in the MOTU audio setup window?
It shouldn't be such a head-scratcher, but am I missing something obvious here?

thanks,

Rod

Thanks for the reply.

Back when I used a 2408 mkII it worked all the time,
but instead of getting a new card for an updated Mac Pro,
I picked up the UltraLite and I'm sure that it worked just fine a few months ago.

I think that I'm going to get rid of any trace of MOTU on my drive
and begin again from the initial disc without upgraded downloads
and try it step-by-step to see what happens.
I'm still a bit unsure about the MOTU audio settings in the window,
so I'm going to try different settings. I think I was hoping for someone to say,
"Oh, those settings are wrong - do this!"

Still open to other ideas. I'll check this cue mix console business
tho I've never had to use it before.

Just like houstomusic said, its probably CueMix. All your other settings seem fine. Open CueMix and check to
make sure that on the "mixes" tab, you haven't muted the S/PDF''s, and the faders are up.
