GarageBand recognizes MIDI Oxygen Pro but no Sound I am using a MacBook Pro 13" early 2015 with macOS Monterrey 12.6.1. I have recently bought a keyboard controller M-Audio Oxygen Pro 61 and I am connecting both of them using the USB cable, but unfortunately, GarageBand is not playing any sound though it receives MIDI input. I know that MIDI input is being recognized because I have run the Audio MIDI Setup utility, including the MIDI Studio and the Test Setup option. When I release the key, there is an arrow that shines. Additionally, every time I am pressing a key in GarageBand I see that the Software MIDI track shows a green line that fades when I release the key. It even displays the name of the note or chord I am pressing. However, I am not able to hear any sound, whatever the instrument I am selecting. If I unplug the keyboard controller and open the app with it, there is a virtual keyboard and this time there is a sound that can be hear. I would appreciate your help.

No audio on pre-programmed midi tracks in logic 10.5 I am not getting audio input, nor are the faders showing audio on Logic Pro X 10.5.0, MacOS Mojave. Here's the weird part: If I create a new track, audio is fine. What I noticed before this issue: I was running a 3rd party plugin that would not authorize for use (Ozone Imager). I connected my headphones to the audio jack on my 2017 MacBook and there was a click sound, then the audio on a youtube video I was watching lowered. I have had the lowering of volume issue before but a quick restart always fixes this. Things I've tried: Ozone Imager from master track Removed Restarted Macbook Reset NVRAM Reset Logic Disabled and re-enabled Core Audio Switched from "System setting" to "built- audio" in preferences Started logic while holding "command" and clicked "don't launch" I am soooo frustrated. Thank You.

Hi bsigman01!

I understand that you'd like to play MIDI files on your MacBook Air, and I'm happy to help. iTunes does not support MIDI files, but you could use GarageBand or a third party app:

GarageBand for Mac: Import audio and MIDI files

Cheers!
