AUDIO

Audio Output

Overview
In addition to movies, still images, and 3D objects, Mbox can also play audio files. Audio can be output from the
computer using any of the following interfaces or devices:
+ The computer's internal speaker.
+ The computer's line out or headphone audio jacks.
+ USB or FireWire audio interfaces connected to the computer.
Selecting an Output Device
Simply getting Mbox to play audio does not require any preferences to be set, but in order for the resulting audio to be
audible, the appropriate audio output device must be selected in the Audio section of Mbox's Preferences tab.
Note: The selection of audio output (and input) devices in Mbox is separate from any OS default selection made in the
System Preferences > Sound pref pane. It is possible to have different devices selected as the input/output devices for
Mbox and the OS.
Clicking on the pop-up will reveal a list of available devices for output. Selecting the "Built-in Output" option will
cause Mbox to use the computer's built-in speakers. Mbox will remember the selection if the application is quit and
relaunched. But if the application relaunches and the previously selected device is not available, no audio will be output
from the Mbox application. If this happens, the device's name will be colored yellow on the preference table, as an
indication of an error condition.
