For most apps that aren\u2019t DAWs, this is done from Sound Settings (Windows) or Sound Preferences (Mac).&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DAWs like Pro Tools, Cubase, Studio One, etc. have their own sound settings for selecting an audio device. When using your interface with a DAW, choose your Mackie interface from the Playback Engine or Audio Settings window within your DAW. Follow these steps to select the Onyx series interface as your computer\u2019s audio playback device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"Is-your-interface-not-showing-up\" class=\"wp-block-cgb-block-customheader blackHeader alignLeft underline customh4 swheader\">Is your interface not showing up?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your computer isn\u2019t detecting your Mackie Onyx Artist or Producer interface, disconnect then reconnect it. If the problem persists, try using a different USB port on your computer, or a different USB cable. Also, be sure to visit our Windows and Mac guides for more tips on resolving audio interface issues.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f2f1f0\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetwater.com\/sweetcare\/articles\/resolving-audio-interface-issues-on-windows-10\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sweetwater.com\/sweetcare\/media\/2017\/11\/TS-Interface-Windows-UPDATE-Hero-1024x536.png\" alt=\"TS Interface Windows UPDATE Hero\" class=\"wp-image-1757103\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sweetwater.com\/sweetcare\/media\/2017\/11\/TS-Interface-Windows-UPDATE-Hero-1024x536.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.sweetwater.com\/sweetcare\/media\/2017\/11\/TS-Interface-Windows-UPDATE-Hero-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/www.sweetwater.com\/sweetcare\/media\/2017\/11\/TS-Interface-Windows-UPDATE-Hero-768x402.png 768w, https:\/\/www.sweetwater.com\/sweetcare\/media\/2017\/11\/TS-Interface-Windows-UPDATE-Hero.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"padding-bottom: 10px;
