Default sound OUT from other apps not working (003 rack+)

hello,
I'm pretty sure that's been asked before but I can't find the answer on this forum... Well I remeber a thread where a similar issue was addressed but it involved itunes only and it didn't solve my problem.
So I sort of gave up - until today.

WHY the hell the sound from other apps (e.g., soundhack, DSP-quattro, quicktime player, itunes...) doesn't come out from the DIGI 003 rack+ but instead it comes from the internal speakers?

My setup:
- Digi 003 rack+
- OSX 10.6.2
- ProTools LE 8.0.3cs2
- Digi CoreAudio manager 8.0.3

Connections: mac > ext HD > 003 (of course).

thank you for your help,
solaris

Probably because that's the way you have assigned the sounds(under Core audio?) but I'm short on Mac knowledge. The simple(and maybe best) solution is; run a mini cable from the Mac sound out, into the AUX inputs of the 003. Hit the Aux to Mon button to hear all non-PT audio. I've been doing that since my old 002. These days, I take optical out of my computer and feed a Presonus Central Station(much better audio out the SPDIF port than the mini plug).

Unfortunately Core audio refuses to change its settings...

Uhm, I don't want to do that. I'd prefer to have it functioning as it's supposed to.




Anyone else has other suggestions?

EDIT: yes, I already tried trashing preferences.

Try setting default output to the 003 in Audio MIDI Setup.

I tried, but the setting is not accepted, it changes back to sys.defaults...

weird, even if you set the 003 for both Default Output and System Output? Is the 003 FW connected prior to booting or after the computer is already booted?

Nope, no chance.
The AudioMIDI setup looks like this:





ZERO inputs/outputs ??? Don't know why...

If I change the settings via Sys.prefs, they will revert to default/built-in by themselves...

Try trashing the specific Core Audio preferences - details are in the General Troubleshooting thread (in one of the replies).

thanks for the reply.

I already did this before, tried again right now but without success...

some details:

- didn't find the file "4. Mac HD > Users > (Your User Name) > Library > Preferences > ByHost > com.apple.systempreferences.xxxxxxxxxxxx.plist" (EDIT: yes I know the xxxxxxxxxxxx are meant to be either digits andor letters)

- found the others, trashed, restarted;

- now the 003 ins+outs show up in AudioMIDI setup;

- snd from quicktime still comes out from the internal speakers;

- settings will not be accepted on SystemPrefs, they will revert to "built-in" In+OUT;

- I (still) have the panes "Digidesign MBox2" and "Digidesign MBox2 Pro" showing up in the SystemPreferences... (previously I had a MBox2 Pro) is this normal? should I remove them?

cheers,
solaris

This might sound like a stupid question, but you haven't got Pro Tools open as well have you ?
