Greetings,
I have a "weird" question, I am getting sound when I am in the Fairlight page, but nowhere else.
Nothing in the EDIT or in the PREVIEW window.
Running from a MacBook Pro (2019) on Catalina (10.15.7) with a MOTU UltraLite mk3 interface.
Thank you for your time.

Strange... Do you have clips playback with audio from the media storage panel in the Media page viewer?

What settings do you have in preferences for speaker?

Thanks for taking the time Peter.
To answer your question, I see audio in the Media page but nothing is heard.
I have my speakers setup to the MOTU interface.
Of note: the only way to get sound everywhere is, not to de-select, but to unplug my interface.

I have always found traditional analog/digital audio connections to be better quality/more reliable.

Is a FireWire or USB adaptor (e.g. USB-A to USB-C) attached?

In answering Renaud's question : the MOTU interface (USB2, the connector is like the ones for printers) is plugged into a RedLink USB-C Multiport Adapter, then USB-C into my Mac.

and you are on 17.2.1?

Mac OS core audio handles the connection to the MOTU.. can you check its selected in your system settings?
in resolve preferences , select system setting.. and if that doesnt work, select manual and configure the two channels

Thanks for the follow-up Peter,
unfortunately everything is how it "should" be.
See attached screenshot.

The Speaker configuration in Video and Audio I/O automatically patches the Control Room Monitor Output to the physical outputs - manually patching the Bus Output is not necessary.

Any change manually patching as follows in Patch IO:
Source = Control Room Monitor Direct
Destination = Audio Outputs

The Direct path is pre-Monitor Level, Dim, and Mute.

Thanks for the update Reynaud,
unfortunately I am still in a dead end.
I assigned everything as suggested, but to no avail.
Everything works as it should without the interface (sound in the Edit page and the Fairlight page), but I need to go through the interface to be able to eventually monitor in surround.

Any news here?
Have the same problem. Checked the Motu driver download page but no new driver/firmware.
