Apple MainStage audio output device changes automatically after some time I am using Apple MainStage 3.5 and I route the Audio Output to a Loopback virtual device. And this works like a charm. Until it switches to another device after some inactivity.
I tried another Loopback device, but the same thing keeps happening. Does anybody have an idea how to tell MainStage to not switch devices? I thought that setting the hot-plug behavior to do nothing was the key. But it does not seem to work.
I did some Googling, but could not find an answer to my question. I hope somebody knows.
After some frequent contact with Rogue Amoeba we came to the following solution.
Strictly speaking is this not an answer to the original question, but a workaround.
I used the Loopback device to connect to Audio Hijack, but another solution is to select System Setting as Audio Output in MainStage. Then I captured the MainStage application in Audio Hijack instead of the Loopback device. Thus circumventing to whole need for Loopback as an input device into Audio Hijack.
BTW I still use Loopback to connect the Audio Hijack output further in the chain.
