If your signal isn't showing up correctly in Pro Tools, coming out of Pro Tools to the desired outputs, or if the routing isn't showing up as expected, there are a few things to check. Look below for the section that applies to the Apogee product you're using:
JAM, JAM 96k, Jam X, MiC, MiC 96k, HypeMiC, Groove
- Confirm that the device you're using is selected as the 'Playback Engine' in Pro Tools by going to the the 'Setup' dropdown menu in Pro Tools and selecting 'Playback Engine'. Make sure your Apogee device is selected in the 'Playback Engine' dropdown menu at the top of the window. If you are using JAM or MiC, you will first need to create a 'Pro Tools Aggregate I/O' and then you will select 'Pro Tools Aggregate I/O' as your 'Playback Engine'. Click here for setting up JAM for Pro Tools. Click here for setting up MiC for Pro Tools.
- You may need to reset the I/O paths in Pro Tools. This is a very common thing. Click on the ‘Setup’ menu in Pro Tools and select ‘I/O’. Once the I/O Setup opens, select all of the channels in the left-hand column and hit ‘Delete’ on your keyboard. After you’ve deleted them, click the ‘Default’ button in the lower part of the screen. Follow the same steps for each tab in I/O Setup. Once you have gone through these steps in each tab, click the ‘OK’ button to confirm changes and exit.

- If you are using Symphony I/O, Symphony I/O MkII, or Legacy gear with an X-HD card (AD16x, DA16x, Rosetta) in Pro Tools HD with an HD Core/Accel/Process, HD Native, or HDX card, you will need to make sure the 'Playback Engine' is set for whatever HD card you're using. If the HD card isn't showing up in the 'Playback Engine', you need to double-check the HD license on your ilok and confirm that you have installed the applicable HD driver (usually a separate install from the main Pro Tools software).
