Are the Mac OS X drivers working for USB Audio

I just got a brand new Macbook Pro. Has very little on it. Trying to configure AFX II as the audio device. Driver installed, shows up in sound preferences, selected in output/input, input shows levels moving, when I play the Axe or audio via iTunes, etc, I get nothing. Monitoring with headphones on the Axe itself. Let me know if I am doing something wrong or there are some more experiments to try. I'm a Mac noob so I may be doing something dumb.
 
Looks like everything is checked off right in the Mac side. Other than that, the only other thing I can think is to check your USB levels in the I/O screen I think? It should be at 0 db. If you were previously using USB on your computer before and have already done this than disregard.

Thanks will try this...

Also more info, no surprise since it is a new box, it is running 10.10.x
 
The top row (near screen) keys on the keyboard have three volume keys, softer/louder and on/off. As you dont have sound with itunes, did you switch off sound by accident?

Thanks guys, I'm back w the AFX and MAc, looks like the USB return level in the I/O menu was all the way down. ;-) Didn't even know that setting was on the Axe. All working now! Thanks for the help!
 
So everything is good with 10.10? I've been holding back because I was worried about software issues.
 
The Mac OS X driver is not a real driver - it just gives the host cpu the USB class compliant 2.0 definitions because they were not stored in the internal memory. The axefx does not feature real core audio compatibility , it uses the audio class compliant 2.0 standard which only works on Mac OS X at the moment....
