Hello All,

The problem and question: When attempting to use newly purchased hd10bt headphones via blue tooth with my macbook I get no sound when trying to use it in the following configuration.  The signal chain is this:

guitar into MOTU M4 USB'd to macbook. HD10Bt's to be used as wireless monitoring. The audio midi set up is selected as motu m4 for input and eris hd10bt as output. The HD10BT and Mac are paired via bluetooth.

the phones do work as i can listen audio via bluetooth from the macbook when NOT using the motu m4 inteface.  I can watch youtube, play itunes etc and listen just fine.

What i am trying to do is omit a few cables by using the wireless headphones to free up movement when playing guitar into the Mac. For song writing and practice I use a small setup as described above. I use Superior drummer standalone and Neural DSP amp modeler in stand alone.  everything works fine when using motu m4 headphone out. But when trying to use the HD10Bt wirelessly, I get no audio in the headset. Am i missing a setting somewhere? anyone else experience similar?

any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Set the output of the DAW or recording program you're using to use the Macs native output.
