Aggregate Device
To ensure compatibility with the USB Audio features of Play+ it is highly
recommended to use a Mac or PC set up with an aggregate device. An
aggregate device is a virtual interface created on the PC or Mac to integrate
several audio in and out elements together. This overcomes any issues with
multiple / separate devices used for inputs and outputs to a PC or Mac and
allows audio software such as a DAW to connect seamlessly.
▌ CREATING AN AGGREGATE DEVICE - MAC
1. Ensure Play+ is connected to the Mac via the USB connection.
2. Select and open the ‘Finder’ function on the Mac.
3. With the nder page open and selected, choose from the main header
menu ‘Go’ > ‘Utilities’.
4. Double click on the ‘Audio MIDI Setup’ icon from within the presented
utility options page.
5. The audio device page will open. This should show all connected
devices in the left window pane and will include the Play+ as well as the
Mac’s integrated speakers and microphone.
6. Click ‘+’ in the lower left corner and choose ‘create aggregate device’.
7. A new device is created and the selection boxes will be presented.
Check the boxes of the devices to add to the aggregated device. For
example Play+ and Speakers.
8. Click the name in the left window to rename the device if required.
9. Once the device has been created this will appear in a DAW’s audio
interface options, for example ‘Audio input’ and ‘Audio output’ options in
Ableton Live Audio settings.
10. This aggregated device should be the chosen option to interface the
Play+ to the Mac Audio. This will handle all the available inputs from
Play+ as well as the audio outputs on the Mac for example output audio
to the internal speakers.
