Setup, Playback Engine defaults to Built-In Microphone
Has anyone else ever run into this? Is there any solution to it? I NEVER want the Playback Engine to be Built-In Microphone - if anything, it should default to Built-In Output when I am not using my Apogee Ensemble IO. But for whatever reason, it defaults to the F*@$ing built-in microphone on my MacBook Pro, which will never work as an audio output, so I have no clue why the Playback Engine would even have it as an option.
Here are my specs, in case this is helpful: MacBook Pro Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013 Processor 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7 Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 Software OS X 10.9.5 (13F34) Pro Tools 10.3.2 Apogee Ensemble (Firewire) IO Please help! Thanks! |

first in the list
just remember to hold down the N key when you first launch PT after disconnecting your Ensemble or even better if you know your not going to use the Ensemble next time before you quit PT, switch it to Line Out then

OK. I know how to change the output. I'm just wondering why it even lists the built-in microphone as a possible playback engine option, or if there is a way to remove it so it is never an option.

Still, what's pain in the ass, since changing the playback engine requires saving, closing and reopening the session. |

go to AMS
delete Pro Tools Aggregate from the list I don't think you can delete hard Apple devices

Re: Setup, Playback Engine defaults to Built-In Microphone
Just to address the bit about it choosing built-in microphone because it is the first entry in the list. As you'll see in the attachment, Ensemble is first in the list, but it still automatically selected built-in microphone for playback engine.
This is really frustrating, considering the built-in microphone doesn't even work as a playback engine. I just wish Pro Tools had a feature to manage potential devices for playback, and would allow me to delete this option permanently. |
