Re: Can't hear audio

You typically listen to speakers attached directly to your Mac? That's the issue.

With MC6.x, the Kona card is now an operating breakout box. The audio is going out through the Kona, and I don't believe you can change that. Here are your options:

Attach speakers to the Kona. Sound!

Remove the Kona from the system. Avid will use the Mac output like you're used to. Sound!

The reason this changed from 5.5 to 6 is that, in 5.5, Avid ignored the Kona. Now it doesn't. I had the same issue with a Blackmagic card (currently have the issue, actually - I need to hook a mixer and speakers to the Kona).

Shut down your system, remove the Kona, reboot and start Avid. I bet you have audio playback.
