I got a report when opening pro tools -
some paths were made inactive because they could not be assigned to existing paths.........

What does this mean?

that means PT is set to a different audio interface now. On Mac PT automatically switches to Mac built-in audio (called Pro Tools aggregate) if there's no other interface connected or switched on at the moment. U can check what engine is active now in the upper "Settings" menu > "Playback Engine", and switch to the other one.

I had a look and there are 4 choices - built input, output , mic, or pro tools aggregate. Its set on the pro tools aggregate. Should I leave it not that?
