I have a Focusrite Clarett 4Pre and an Apollo Twin X combined in an aggregate device under macOS. Most everything (inputs, outputs) seem to work, but I can only hear the metronome if I use the Clarett 4Pre's first output. If I use the Apollo output, it's missing. Everything else is routed fine.
Is there an output select for the metronome that I'm not aware of?
Metronome only heard on main output in macOS aggregate device

Re: Metronome only heard on main output in macOS aggregate device
Should I report this as a bug?

It uses the Cue Out output (right above the Main one in Session View), also uses the Preview/Cue Volume knob.jonljacobi wrote: ↑Fri Apr 11, 2025 11:29 pmIs there an output select for the metronome that I'm not aware of?

I'm aware of the former, but where is the latter? In the browser? I see no select for the output, only volume.
Like I said, it's fine through the Focusrite's main outputs, but not the Apollo's, though everything else works just fine, inputs, main output, etc.
Oh, and thanks!

Note that the sample preview doesn't play through the Apollo either. I'm guessing that I could make another aggregate device with the Apollo first and it would work.
Switching the audio output device to the Apollo on its own gets around this. But when I did this, the entry on the master channel remained shown as the aggregate device until I changed it.
I'm thinking Ableton might want to spend just a wee bit of time working on the macOS audio interface support.
Note also that turning off the Apollo by accident crashed Live immediately. It just up and disappeared. Again, a little work on the interface support for macOS.
