Redirecting sound
I have a Roland UA-30 (a USB device that allows me to pull sound into my Mac from my stereo and pump it back into my stereo). I would like to redirct the sound to play over the computer rather than the stereo (actually the headphones, it is not like I prefer the computer's speakers to my stereo). This doesn't seem to work. I can play system sounds over either the stereo or the computer speakers... I can record from the stereo onto the computer. The sound coming out of the stereo is going though the computer (e.g., if the computer goes to sleep no sound comes out of the stereo). But unless I record the sounds and replay them the sound that originates in the stereo will not play over the computer's speakers. Does anyone know why this happens and how to change it?

Yeah. That is how I redirect various system sounds. I can redirect the sounds coming out of any application (I even downloaded Detour which allows me to select where sounds go on an application by application basis). Everything works as expected except that stuff coming in over the UA-30 goes back out over the UA-30. I have actually tested this on a couple different computers now and it is the same. Thanks for the suggestion.

Uhm, does this Roland UA-30 device work somehow with MIDI? If so, the MIDI app in /Applications/Utilities could help you. Give it a try.
Hadn't tried that before. It isn't recognized as a Midi device on the Midi device tab. It is recognized on the Audio device tab but that seems to operate just like the audio preference panel (same results).
