Based on my experience with the Traveler mk3, what you want to do cannot be done with the Motu unit. Like you said, you can control the output level for the "Monitor" selected outputs, but everything else will be output full level. However, you can definitely set the output level for each ...

It kinda sucks that after submitting all this info, I never got any response back from MOTU.

A simple "We've reproduced the problem. We are working on a fix. No ETA yet." would at least be a start.

So that confirms that it's not my unit that is defective, but there is indeed a bug with the Optical Inputs vs. Monitor Volume.

Thanks for taking the time to check it out, ajdelange!

Well, that was a helpful troubleshooting tip. A reset did fix the problem. However, after I had changed all the settings to be the way I want, I had once again lost control over the output 1-2 level. After some more testing, I think I have determined the culprit. And that is the Optical Input types....

How can I "reset" the unit? Or did you just mean turn if off, then on again? If it's the latter, I've done it many times and it doesn't resolve the problem. Upon further testing, however, it appears that this is only a problem with Analog Outs 1-2. I tried plugging a second pair of speaker...

You assumed, erroneously, but quite reasonably in my opinion, that Mac OS X audio Firewire audio output is just another input channel to you Traveler. Apparently it is not. It doesn't appear in the inputs, you can't route it to any mix or to an arbitrary output, there are no bars corresponding to i...

The call is up to you, but at this point in time, I'd probably recommend to wait for 10.6, unless you really have pressing issues or things that are not working as you'd want on 10.4.

I've opened a support ticket with MOTU about this last week but have had no response at all so far.
I'd recommend you do the same; this is clearly a defect that needs to be addressed.

Hello all, I have a brand new Traveler mk3 connected to my iMac. I'm having difficulty setting the master volume out. I have tried setting the monitor group to Stereo out (analog 1-2) so that the volume will control the volume output by 1-2. But no matter what I do, the traveler's master out has no ...

Thanks very much for the info. My traveler is now on its way

Hey guys, I'm new to the forum here. About ready to pull the trigger on a traveler mk-3 since it really fits all my needs. Kinda wondering since there is no mention on the MOTU site, and I see the traveler is a bit narrower than most rack units, and I see the MIDI and power plus are on the side of t...
