Finder - Mono playback through line 5 on Ultralite 5

Post by TJBond »

When playing an audio file back from the Finder window a stereo file plays through Computer USB Main 1-2 as expected. If I playback a mono file it comes through on Line 5 and I have to pull that up in CuMix to hear it. Any idea why mono files aren't playing back through the main USB? Thanks.

You have a number of monitor options. Besides CueMix, your unit has a built in mixer with its own options.

In addition, it appears to me that your issue is with a mono file playing through core audio on your Mac. You may have to set this up in System Settings/Sound. If you play back through your internal speakers, does it come out both or one side only?
