This can be one of the most frustrating issues to experience. You should only need to do this once, as macOS should remember your choice. Pick out your speaker options manually to circumvent this issue. As you may have guessed by now, macOS - especially when it is loaded onto a computer that’s connected to HDMI speaker systems - can get confused about which speaker to automatically pick. In the Output list, you should see options for all these devices, as long as they are connected. “What about my headphones, external speakers, or Apple TV?” you may be asking. Still having trouble? Check out the Apollo Basic Troubleshooting article.This should restore audio to your native Mac speakers. To unmute, either press Apollo's volume knob in or click the MUTE button on the lower right side of the Console window (the button is gray when disabled and red when enabled).

If the volume knob on your Apollo is lit in up red then the Monitor output is muted in Console. When the DIM button is gray as shown above, the function is disabled - when the button is lit yellow the function is enabled. If the DIM AMOUNT is set too high (such as -60 dB in the picture above) then having the DIM function enabled may effectively mute your Monitor outputs depending on your Monitor volume level and the volume of what you are listening to. Settings for the DIM function in the CONTROL ROOM strip The settings for the DIM function are found on the CONTROL ROOM strip. If the Monitor volume knob on your Apollo is blinking and you have no audio output, then you may have the DIM function enabled with the DIM AMOUNT set too high in the Console application. On Apollo, Apollo 8, and Apollo 8p, this is done by setting the source of one of the Cues (typically CUE 1, as shown in the picture above) to MON, and then selecting HP1 and/or HP2 to the right of that Cue. On Apollo Twin this is done by selecting the MON button to the right of HP (shown in the picture above). In most cases the Headphone (HP) source should be set to MON. The Headphone (HP) output source is set on the CUE OUTPUTS popover, which can be accessed by clicking the CUE OUTPUTS button on the right hand side of the Console window, just below the CTRL ROOM button.ĬUE OUTPUTS popover (Apollo, Apollo 8, Apollo 8p) This means that any audio routed to the MON L and MON R outputs (or outputs 1 and 2 in DAWs that don't use I/O labels) can be heard through the Monitor L/R outputs of the Apollo. In most cases the Monitor Source should be set to MONITOR. Monitor source settings in the CONTROL ROOM strip The Monitor output source is set on the CONTROL ROOM strip which is accessed by clicking the CTRL ROOM button on the right hand side of the Console window.
