I've created an aggregate device in OSX, hoping that I can use my

In the DSP Status window in Max, I select Core Audio Pro 1010 (the

the Saffire OR the digital in as the input source. (If I select 

digital in, I get the Teabox signal oin ch1)

Should I be able to get both of these inputs simultaneously? How!?

well, where do you declare your aggregate device?

We have one running here - but it must be declared by the administrator - as Max always refers to - do not know - local setting and not user setting (for rewire, aggregate devices, etc.)

In Audio-MIDI-Setup you can name the aggregate and that name should show up in Max ....

I'm running the Mac as administrator (in fact that's the only account).

If I set up an aggregate device, not only does it not show up in Max, 

but it disappears if I quit AudioMidi Setup (ie it's gone when I re- 

By"declare", do you mean anything other than creating a device in AMS

Well, there's obviously a problem here!
I'm running the Mac as administrator (in fact that's the only account).

If I set up an aggregate device, not only does it not show up in Max,  
but it disappears if I quit AudioMidi Setup (ie it's gone when I re- 
open AMS). Surely that's not right?

By"declare", do you mean anything other than creating a device in AMS  
(and setting the devices and naming it)?

I mean : go to A(udio)M(idi)S(etup) -> AUdio ->open device editor (or so) and there setup a aggregate device ....

We did tests with FieFace800 + internal and 2x FireFace and we use 2x FireFace all the time .....

It was important for Max that the administrator did that - cause under the user accounts if we setted up a AD Max would not see that .....

That's exactly what I've been doing, to no avail!

Does anybody have any ideas about why this wouldn't be working?
