Q: MBP Audio Input only works in Garageband?

I have multiple audio/music apps installed. Can't get samples through my line-in via anything but Garageband; which I don't really use a lot. I use a Presonus USB audio interface when I'm in the office but at home or on the road I usually just plug in through the line-in built-in input. I literally can't get any audio to work unless I have an active track being monitored in GB. It's got to either be something I've really messed up or something incredibly simple that I'm missing (anti-feedback?). Here's all I have installed that I know of:

Traktor

Maschine 2

Audacity

Garageband

Soundflower

PreSonus Studio One 2 (basic)

 

Have checked through system pref/midi settings/audio routing for each of these apps... any ideas?

Thanks

MacBook Pro (15-inch Mid 2012), OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

    Good Afternoon djLDB,

    Did anything change or happen around the same time things stopped working? Maybe check on the manufacturer or developer website for any updates to their software or drivers.
