Apologies for simplicity of this question; as I am new to max/MSP; I 

can't seem to alter the output destination of audio in the DSP status 

patch. If I use the coreaudio builtin card the options i have are 

speakers and headphones (why isnt there a "line out" option?). On my 

external FW interface there are no options showing up for output 

destination at all, its just blank. Soundflower wont show up as an 

output option either! ITs not the hardware as I can route audio where 

I like with other software; its obviously just a silly thing I am

I have the same behavior, but it's never been a problem. My laptop only has "Internal Speakers" as an output, but that also sends to the headphone jack.

To use Soundflower, set the *driver* to CoreAudio Soundflower (2ch) or CoreAudio Soundflower (16ch). In other words, the "output destination" has been a non-feature for me; I've never used it or needed it, even with dozens of interfaces and setups.

In the words of Digable Planets, "Ignore it, like it's pork."

In Powerbooks for example there is no line output, only a headphone

output. It just shows what is defined in Coreaudio.

They usually have only one choice, so you don't have to choose...

Normally you just choose a driver and the outputs are numbered. This is 

Drivers and their settings are covered in the Apple docs...

(Just ignore and/or test it yourself...)
