LUNA suddenly cannot connect to my Apollo MAIN output

[WJohnG]

Not sure why, but LUNA cannot see my Apollo's MAIN out. The only thing that has changed is I added some iLok licenses an the SSL bundle deal.

I have rebooted/power-cycled everything (including my OWN Thunderbolt hub ). I can see the meters moving in LUNA, but no audio out. If I point an app directly at the Apollo, I get audio. But LUNA seems to have broken somewhere?

Sorry for the HUGE screenshot

Is notice that in the MAIN channel strip under it's OUTPUT section, it's blank. I don;t recall if there is something here or is it blank because it is always routed to the Apollo?

For posterity - it seems this is an interaction with Rogue Amoeba Sound Source. I've been running the two side by side since I started using LUNA, and for whatever reason, running Sound Source now steals the output from LUNA so it does not make it to the Apollo's MAIN out. Bizarre. Even if I tell Sound Source to output to UA Apollo.

I suspect this is due to the fact that both LUNA and Sound Source want to "hijack" the audio streams and can interfere with each other.

I have "jump desktop" and it does this all the time to me, except it takes the "default system out" away from Apollo. I keep the midi control panel in my task bar so I can change it easily. There's probably a way to fix it permanently but I haven't bothered to look.

Well, I feel silly. In Sound Source I have to be sure to mute all sources that I have routed to LUNA to avoid two streams playing. I then unmute whatever I am listening to if I'm not running LUNA, so I can then make use of Sound Source independent app volume and especially SoundID Reference correction since I can load that "effect" into Sound Source.

So.... I had LUNA muted in Sound Source. Sigh.

I also use Jump Desktop to get to my various computers/devices and so far it had not caused trouble. Good to know it can though
