[QUOTE="Chud, post: 1015412, member: 145344"] Just to make sure that I understand correctly what you are trying to accomplish. Everything works fine when you are running GB or Logic, but when you pull up say...iTunes, you get sound through your MB speakers rather than the externals as you would like. Correct? Hopefully this helps: When you have the Alesis plugged in and turned on, go to your system preferences (dropbox that comes down from the apple logo) and select "Sound" from the hardware section. Once that comes up, you should see three clickable bars for Sound Effects, Output, and Input respectively. Click on output and you should see your device there to select as the output device for audio. Once you've done this once, it should be the default for whenever the Alesis is hooked up, and the MB will automatically go back to the internal speakers whenever it is not. If it is not showing up at all under your system preferences (or the above steps do not work for you), I would make sure that all of the latest drivers are installed and all that. Beyond that I run short of answers without being in front of your computer. Hope that helps! [/QUOTE]
