tech help needed, no sound

[plastic_soul]

Hi there everyone,

i have just installed pro tools SE 8.0.3 on my iMac i got the software with the M-audio fast track, the problem is i can not hear any sound

i have the same setup using garageband and the sound works fine

now the levels and everything in pro tools seems to be picking up sound as i can see the levels go up or down when using the mic or my guitar but i cannot hear anything when i splay or speak or even playback, can't hear any loops or beats

now the strange thing is before opening a session i can play the demo's from the splash screen and can hear them fine

any help would be greatly appreciated its really frustrating !

cheers

do you have a master fader in your mix and are the outputs of it assigned to main outs 1-2 ?


Do you have your I/O setup and routed correctly? it sounds like you are getting signal in to pro tools correctly, but not routing it out correctly from pro tools.

yeah everything is set correctly, i dont have any headphones at the mo to plug into my m-audio interface im guessing i will get sound from there but i need to hear sound through my stereo also

its very strange that when i play a sound on the demo screen i can hear but not on any tracks or loops

[plastic_soul]

still need some help, would be really appreciated, even if my stereo is not hooked up i dont get any loops or instrument sounds coming out of the mac built in speakers, i am still able to preview demo tracks on the menu screen though, please please help

cheers

This may be a little advanced for you but give this a try. Create a Pro Tools Aggregate in your Audio Devices screen of your preferences. You can then select all of your in and out including you built in inputs and outputs. In pro tools pick that aggregate and you should be able to play the sound through the built in outputs. Let me know if this helps!!!
