USB Recording Audio Interface levels are visible but no sound.

I have a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 2 In/2 Out USB Recording Audio Interface hooked up to my iMac via USB cable.
On the System Preserences Sound Page, the computer recognizes the device and levels are visible.
But there is no sound coming out of my internal speakers/headphones.
I tried recording some music and it recorded fine and played back fine, I'm just unable to monitor the sound as it's coming in.
I've also tried a completely different device with the same outcome.

No, you have every business being here as any help is greatly appreciated.
When you say "core audio" what are you referring to?
Ok, here's what I see in the system preferences->sound window:
Output is set to Internal Speakers
Input is set to my device, the Scarlett 2i2 USB
When I play sound thru the device I can see levels where it says 'Input level'.
Now here's the MIDI setup->audio devices window:
Input is set to Scralett 2i2 USB (hightlighted in the left window with a microphone icon next to it).
just below that it reads 2 in/ 2 out
Output is set to Built-In Output (hightlighted in the left window with a dual smling face box icon and a speaker icon next to it).
just below that it reads 0 in/ 2 out
On the right is the Ch/Volume/Value/dB/Mute wondow
Master volume slider is in Light Grey and un-slidable
1 and 2 are Dark Grey and slidable.
That's pretty much it, sound comes in fine yet no sound from interal speakers.
Now I feel a crying spell coming on. Excuse me. Weep weep weep........

  • After loading FF4 the back/forth buttons are visible but not functional. Have tried to reset tool bar etc. no luck. fix please

    After upgrading to the new version everything seems to work well except my back/forth button on the browser are visible but grayed out and not functional. I have tried all of the suggestions in help and am unable to bring them to life. Very frustrating to use a browser with out these functions. I run 4 websites and it is maddening to have to keep reloading the sites just for simple work.
    I have to have these working or will be forced to use another browser. I liked the old FF much better. I can not tolerate this much longer.

    I notice from your system specs that you're running a very old version of Flash. Could you try updating to the latest one which is 10.2.159.1 It also contains a patch to fix a recently discovered [http://www.h-online.com/security/news/item/Adobe-releases-security-update-for-Flash-Player-1228930.html Zero Day exploit]. You can get it from here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Have you experienced any unusual events watching Flash videos lately? It's possible that you may have been a victim of just such an attack. It might be worth doing a malware scan using this well-known scanner from http://www.malwarebytes.org/ The free version is more than adequate to eliminate any current threats.

  • How do i make the back and forward buttons function? they are visible but not functional.

    I have firefox 8.0.1 and my back and forward button are not working. They are visible but not functioning. I have tried starting in safemode and without any add-ons and the back and forward buttons are still not functioning. What do I need to do to make the buttons functional?

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • The "edit in" menu is completely inactive. All plug-ins are visible but in light grey; i.e. not accessible. Any idea how to solve the issue? Fyi: I am using LR 5.7.1 on MacBook with Mawericks.

    Jim, that sounds like a good hypothesis. Yes, I am using smart previews. I have my originals on an external drive which is connected. Still, LR can not find them. Do you know how to tell LR where to find the originals? I would like LR to identify the source automatically: if external drive is connected LR should show "original and smart preview" not only "smart preview". Thanks for your help.

  • Recording Audio interface

    Hi to all...
    I'm new in this forum and in all apple's world. I took my first Mac some days ago...so sorry for my errors posting here (i hope this is the right place for my question...), and also for my english that's not so good..
    I need an audio interface for home recording. Anyway I need a good quality at not so high prices. I need something where i can connect vocal microphones like Shure SM57/58, synth keyboards and guitars...
    I alreay have a mixer...beheringer eurorack UB2442FX-PRO...
    In the end, as you see...i'm a musician but i'm a beginner with this kind of recording tecnologies...help me please!! Thanks....

    I would recomend a Tascam US-122 (they are on closeout now as well at $149.99 USA. Check online retailers.
    1/4 ins, XLR ins, 1/4 outs and RCA outs and midi in/out plus others.
    USB in.Your keyboard should either go USB direct to your computer or into
    a Tascam US-122 input (or one of their other new models)
    Tascan also came out with a two new models (to replace the Tascam US-122)
    they have higher bit rate capacity
    Bst of Luck..

  • What recording audio interface to use with iMac G5 1.9 1GB

    Hi,
    I need an audio (USB or Firewire) interface to start using my new iMac in my home studio. That's why I ordered my G5 17 inch 1.9 Ghz with 1GB of RAM.
    There are many on the market like Digidesign's Mbox 2, Motu traveler etc., but what can I expect from my G5 performance-wise? If it's limited to two simultaneous tracks because the hard drive can only cope with that, I don't want to spend a lot on an audio interface that supports a lot more.
    I'm sure there are lots of mac users out there who record music.
    My goal is primarly home studio use, but if I can track my band with four microphones in the practicing room, that would be nice, but not essential.
    But minimally I need to record two or three simultaneous signals while playing back up to four/five already recorded tracks.
    I would appreciate any tips (as well as on the software, Garageband is too limited already after a couple of weeks of use to get used to my new Mac, which by the way is great).
    THANKS!!!
    iMac G5 1.9 17in 1GB   Mac OS X (10.4.2)  

    Since it appears you need multitrack recording capabilities, I suggest searching for that kind of software on:
    http://guide.apple.com/
    http://www.versiontracker.com/
    http://www.macupdate.com/
    You might also want to check the various Pro and Applications software Apple makes to see if it does what you need:

  • What's a good hardware set up for a solo musician? USB pedal USB keyboard audio interface MIDI interface?

    I am new to Main Stage. I have not bought any hardware interfaces yet because I don't know what will be the most flexible in the long run. I would be using the Main Stage's innate synths and keyboards, drums, an acoustic/electric guitar, bass, harmonicas and vocals. What type of hardware would you recommend? MIDI/USB keyboards? MIDI interface? Audio interface? USB pedal board controllers?
    Would guys help me with specific suggestions and pointer on how I can make a good choice based on my needs?
    much thanks!
    Fabio. 

    Then below this is the recording level slider which is all the way to the left or at 0. This is where the problem lies I think as this slider is greyed out and cannot be moved!

  • Macbook Pro,USB Hub, Maschine, USB Turntable, Audio Interface

    So I have a MacBook pro 13 inch. I'm also using Maschine and a USB turntable to sample from. My problem is I want a USB audio interface so that the audio comes out clearer on these KRK Monitors I have. If I get a USB hub will I be able to use the midi options with the hub using Maschine or have audio going in and out of the same hub with an audio interface? Please help

    I get the same type of problem with my usb hub when my usb3-enabled hard drives are connected, but not all the time.
    Without the usb hub i never have a problem, which seems like the hub is the problem.
    Things started to happen when I started using usb3-capable hard drives

  • Recording audio : Input level automatically compressed?

    Hi,
    in my short experence using Soundtrack Pro, I have never been able to get an input level positiv (yes I know that it means "saturated").
    Is the audio signal automatically compressed if it exceeds 0dB ?
    Thanks for your help.
    Eric

    It all depends on the dynamic range of your source.
    I usually record around -12 db average if I'm in a controlled environment. -20 db if I'm out in the wild. This gives me enough headroom so that unexpected transients don't blow things out.
    If you want to record things hotter, you need a dedicated sound person listening through headphones to ride the levels.
    I usually work in video. In that world, broadcast output specs often call for -20 db or -12 db as average levels. All those anoying locally produced commercials are running audio up around -6 db.
    If you are recording and mixing music for CD production, audio levels are often captured as hot as they can without clipping. Then, they run the signal through a compressor/limiter to boost the average levels as high as possible.

  • Firewire or USB for Audio interface on powerbook

    For a Powerbook G4 667 mhz, 768 MB RAM , 2 USB, 1 FW
    What's better, FW audio interface and USB external hard drive, or the opposite? Thanks

    I find that I have no problems on my PB using my hard drive and my interface daisychained. Obviously it depends on how fast the FW port is too - I imagine on yours it will be FW400. FWIW, I can get 8 streams of audio on to my LaCie with no probs at all, and can run a good number of tracks off it. My processor gives in before my drive...
    But it's right, the best combo to go for it 2 FW ports, and USB ain't great for audio streaming with multiple channels.

  • All my itunes files are visible but none will play. Error message file cannot be found

    All my track file names and other details are visible in Itunes but none will play. single click on a track and an exclamation mark embeds at the front of the track name bar double click or click play and the error message I get says, "The song  could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it? A search doesn't find it.
    This applys to every track on itunes but music files in the music folder in Finder still play.  Can anyone Help please

    Is it possible that you moved the iTunes Media folder using Finder (or renamed something along the path)?  The reason this happened is because iTunes cannot find the song files where they were previously located.  However, you know where they are located (in the "music folder," so you can find the files using Finder and play them.
    That you need to do is to put the files back where they were previously located.  If you need to change the location of the files, you can use iTunes to move the files, so that iTunes can keep track of their new locations.  This article provides instructions
