Hi, I just picked up an Edirol fa-66 external which is connected via firewire to my macbook pro. Sound in system preferences shows incoming audio from the Edirol and I have it selected in Audacity preferences as the recording device but Audacity recognizes no audio when I try to monitor or record. ...
