Default no headphone volume, only laptop speakers on MIDI

Hello, I'm connected up with PT10 on MacBook Pro. I've been using this for some years. Suddenly, my MIDI audio is coming through my laptop speakers rather than my headphones (via MBox & Midi controller keyboard). It was working fine a few days ago. MIDI Thru is on, signals appearing in Mix and Edit windows faders, but the sound only comes through the laptop. Any help please? I've tried Audio Setup, MIDI and Audio windows etc, but no luck.

Thanks.
BB

Thanks Craig, I can't thank you enough for your help. I sent several messages over the last few days because I knew it was simply a matter of switching back from internal to external, but I had no idea how to do that!

How did it manage to switch by the way? I didn't consciously do it!

Anyway, many, many thanks again for your speedy and immensely helpful reply.

best,
BB
