MOTU ultralite driver problems

I apologize in advance if this is a dumb question but as a disclaimer I did read the audio in/out tutorial within the msp tutorials and also did a search of this topic on the forums first before posting.

I just got a new white macbook and downloaded the 30 day demo to learn and go through as many of the tutorials as I can to see if max is for me or not. I have learned a ton already and I can get sound in and out no problem with the internal mic and speakers (core audio driver)

I can not seem to setup my ultralite properly though. In Live and Reaktor I can setup the ultralite no problem. In my dsp status window I have the choice only for 'Core audio Built in output.' In the tutorial in msp there is the picture that shows one of the choices for "Core audio - duet" so I'm assuming I should see a "core audio - ultralite" choice but for some reason its not showing up. I went in to audio/midi setup utility in OSX and made sure the ultralite was picked for audio in and out. If I choose Core audio built in output I can choose ultralite for the input but it only lets me choose internal speaker for output.

Edit: Before submitting this message I closed max/msp and opened it back up. Now core audio motu ultralite is showing up and I can choose ultralite as the input device but I can not choose anything for input source or output destination.

A made a simple test patch of an ezadc~ to gain~ to ezdac~ and audio is going through and coming out the speakers from the mic but even if I turn off audio processing the sound is still coming out of the speakers. Am I crazy? Any advice?

Thanks in advance for making me see the light,

Todd
