The settings that control that are in...
Audacity > Preferences > Audio I/O > Settings at the bottom of the window.
You may need to restart Audacity for the settings to take affect.

Your Mac may be trying to send the show out the wrong spigot.
Go > Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup.
Apple > System Preferences > Hardware > Sound > Output.
I can't tell you what those are going to say, but they should be rational. Don't send the signal out the USB connection when you're not listening to the USB connection.
