Sorry for the incomplete reply.....

Yes smiley and control bar in the right place. I have been using the #2 monitor as the start up one though and wondered if I should switch the comnnectors.

But the good news for me is since removing the apple audio extension my boot problem is gone, monitors have started correctly and I can go between Itunes, PT, Jam5 and Toast5 while listening to audio in my studio mains with no problems! Been 4 days now and I am starting to think all these issues may be solved. Of course beware getting alerts in the mains and turn volume feedback OFF in sound panel (otherwise you can get the BEEP from hell).

Thanks again for you help though,
