Where did my interface go?!?!

[PihSant]

Hi everyone. I recently crossgraded to Pro Tools 9 from 8 LE. I'm running on a Mac Pro, and my interface is a Motu 896HD. When I first installed 9, it was running great. All my i/o was exactly representative of the physical i/o of my Motu. After opening a few sessions though, I started having i/o problems. So I immediately went to my i/o setup. At the top of the i/o setup, the words went from saying "Motu 896HD" to saying "Pro Tools Aggregate Device" or something similar to that. Not only that, but it started to show my Mac Pro's internal speaker as an option in the i/o. I know that I can just delete the i/o paths that I don't want, but it still won't show all of the i/o that the Motu originally was showing before it switched to the "Pro Tools Aggregate Device". Anybody know what happened, or how to get my Motu to show back up in my i/o? Thanks in advance

You just switched to Aggregate I/O. This is a new feature in Pro Tools 9, along with being able to use any interface. You can combine interfaces together into an aggregate.

To switch to *just* the MOTU, you need only to select it in Playback Engine.

THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!. That's awesome. I was starting to think that my interface was defective
