I am new to Dorico Pro and am not getting the audio (sound) to go through my speakers. I use a Scarlett 2i2 audio interface and am using a Mac OS computer. Can someone tell me how to get Dorico to play through my speakers ? Thanks in advance for your help…Barney
In the Dorico menu, choose Dorico > Preferences > Play. If you scroll to the bottom, you will see “Audio Device Setup”. If you click that, you will probably find that the ASIO driver is set to internal audio. Choose the 2i2 instead.
Hi @mhcoffin, you are right with what you write, but with Edit > Device Setup you get much easier there.
Yes, you are right. (I automatically hit ⌘, and proceed from there, so I just translated that back to a menu for simplicity.)
Thanks very much…I was able to do that …which is - for me - an amazing event !!

Is it possible to make a setting here the default? I’m using Bluetooth speakers, and they work fine when selected in Device Setup, but next time I open a file the setting has reverted to the tinny Realtek internal PC speakers. This even happens if I reduce the Dorico window down and then back up again.
Hi @Gareth_Glyn ,
that’s unusual and should not happen. Could you please do such a circle, i.e. select your BT phones, minimize the window, wait few seconds and then bring it back again?
After that please choose from Doric’s menu Help > Create Diagnostics Report and attach the corresponding zip file to a reply here. Thank you
Hi Ulf –
Sorry, I’d forgotten that I’d also put the PC in sleep mode after minimizing (I’ve just checked, and mimizing alone does not have the effect I mentioned. But just in case I’m attaching the Diagnostics Report.
However, I’d still like to know whether it’s possible to make the Bluetooth speakers my default choice. My Scarlett interface, before it was fried by a lightning strike, opened every time I started Dorico, meaning I never needed to go to Device Control Panel.
Best wishes,
Gareth

@Gareth_Glyn , thanks for the diagnostics. So you are using the Steinberg Built-In ASIO driver. That one can “see” the output ports of all the audio device that are connected and receives notifications of when ports go away or arrive new. When that happens we try to remap audio ports, but since ASIO does not have a concept of default ports, it simply uses the first stereo port that it can find. In most cases that is then the built-in .loudspeaker. But if then the BT ports return it does nothing, because it does not remember the history, so you have to choose again manually. So unfortunately I have no better advice than bying a new Scarlett.
@Gareth_Glyn : maybe it’s better to edit your personal mail address out of your post.
Done. Thanks. Strange though - its appearance there was a consequence of the fact that I was replying to an email with an email, and by doing that the contents automatically (AFAICS) appear on the forum post.
