Core Audio question

[Slideman]

In OSX, when clicking on a sound file (wave, aiff, etc) without Pro Tools open, a preview prompt appears to let you hear the file. What should I add to the core audio to let me hear it through the Digi hardware? Not sure which "Application" runs the preview in OSX.
Thanks

System settings in the Audio Midi Setup app?

Hi,

This is from the readme:

The Digidesign CoreAudio Driver cannot be used to preview sound files from the Finder. When a sound file is located in the Macintosh OS X navigation window, a QuickTime transport bar is displayed next to it. The QuickTime transport bar lets you to audition the sound file. The sound will always play back though the Macintosh’s built-in audio controller (through the Macintosh’s speaker or headphone jack). However, if you double click a sound file, the QuickTime application will nlaunch, and can use the Digidesign CoreAudio Driver for playback. In this case, you will need to quit QuickTime before an-otherapplication can use the Digidesign CoreAudio Driver.

The Digidesign CoreAudio Driver cannot be used for playback of System Sounds.

I hope this answers your question,

Thanks,

Thanks for the clarification. At least I know the system is working the way it's supposed to.
