How do I get sound out when I plug in a USB mic?

How do I get sound out when I plug in a USB mic? I cannot hear my instrument tracks either. It will record my vocals, but I can't hear them. If I unplug the mic and restore the internal devices, then I can hear all tracks, including the vocals. I'm sure there's a simple solution.

Hi
Prior to Logic 9, you cannot separately choose Input/Output audio devices, so you either have the USB Mic, or the Built-in audio (or an external audio interface).
To set up for 'mixed' devices, you need to use AudiMIDI Setup (Utilities folder) to create an Aggregate Device.

Note that I recall that it was 'sensitive' to which order you create the devices with some USB Mics.

Thank you

... because of the annoying Cursor-jumping when you write a text and accidently touch the pad. But thanks for your answers. I'll stay with "Fn & F9".

Nope, that doesn't actually do the trick. It might keep i messages from going to your i phone but still won't allow them to go to your new device.

When I plug in an USB stick, my MacBook Air disables all USB devices

When I plug in an USB device, my MacBook Air disables all USB devices and the keyboard. It looks like it would freeze, but all applications still work. It just does not respond to neither keyboard nor mouse. The only solution is to force-restart it. What can I do? I am using Lion and have updated it. The same error occured with Snow Leopard as well. Unfortunately, it sometimes happens and sometimes not. I have a suspicion it is related to the devices power consumption in corelation with the battery charging status.
I am using a MacBook Air 13", late 2010 version.

Have you tried plugging the flash drive into a different Mac to see if it works? The Air shouldn't have any problem with it, I use a couple of flash drives in mine, although I don't have a pq1. Did you try both USB ports on the Air? Do you have another flash drive you can test in the Air, or a different USB device, like a hard drive or printer?
The only thing I can think of is either a bad flash drive, or a bad USB port on the Air. Sorry, can't be more help than that.

Creative Cloud Crashes When I Plug In a USB Drive

My problem is that Adobe Creative Cloud application crashes every time I plug in a USB drive. My computer is Windows 7 64-bit. A brief history:
1. I signed up for Creative Cloud and started to download and install the Creative Cloud desktop application (an upgrade to the Application Manager). The installation failed. I tried it again and the installation failed again.
2. Contacted Adobe Tech Support via live chat where the tech took over my computer and did so many things I couldn’t follow what he was doing. He finally got the Creative Cloud desktop application to install successfully. At least we thought so at the time.
3. I was then able to download Photoshop CC and Bridge CC and begin using the applications.
4. A day or two later I discovered the Creative Cloud application (not Photoshop or Bridge) crashes every time I plug in a USB drive.
5. Since then I’ve had two more chat sessions with Adobe tech support where they had me rename some folders to OOBEold and uninstall and reinstall the Creative Cloud desktop application. The last time they had me download and try to run a Creative Cloud Cleaner, but it couldn’t find the Creative Cloud application so we couldn’t run the cleaner. These reinstallations were unproductive as Creative Cloud still crashes when I plug in a USB drive. It doesn’t matter if I use the USB ports on the front or the back of the computer.
Has anyone else experienced this particular issue with Creative Cloud and, if so, were you able to solve the problem?
Is there a graceful way to close the Creative Cloud application instead of using the Task Manager to end the process before I plug in a USB drive? There is a drop-down menu by a gear icon in the upper right of the application window that has Preferences and Quit Creative Cloud as two of the options. What does the option “Quit Creative Cloud” actually mean? Are you just closing the application or are you doing something more serious? Under preferences there is an option that is selected by default to Launch at login. What does “Launch at login” mean? Does it mean when the computer starts up or when you actually go to Adobe and login to your account or something else?
Thank you very much for any suggestions.

Dave,
Thanks for your reply. After four very lengthy tech support chat sessions, the last tech support person (30 July, 2013) suggested that it was probably some sort of conflict with the drivers for the USB ports on my Dell computer. The case number you requested is still open and is: 0184509373.
I spent a lot of time during the last tech chat trying to determine a graceful way to quit the application before using any USB devices. Just clicking on the X to close the window does not close the application as it still shows up as an active process in Windows Task Manager. Our conversation kept getting confused between the Creative Cloud application and the more global Creative Cloud and which you were quitting or logging out of. Adobe should have kept the name “Application Manager” for the application.
After experimenting, I’ve devised the following work around. It’s a nuisance, but it seems to work a little better than just crashing the application. I open the Creative Cloud desktop application and choose “Quit Creative Cloud.” I can then use a USB device without a crash. After disconnecting the USB device, I restart the Creative Cloud application by double clicking on the icon on my desktop. Finally, I can use Photoshop CC and Bridge. If I don’t restart the Creative Cloud application first, Photoshop asks me to register the software again. This puzzles me as I didn’t think the Creative Cloud application had to be running in order to use Photoshop.
Thanks for your attention and assistance.
