This is what I understand you to mean:

I plug a cable from the analog out on the UX2 to the audio jack on my computer, and then just run my headphones through the Ux2 device and then I should be able to hear it. Correct?

Thanks, all works great now. I knew it must have been something as simple as one setting somewhere.

Hi,

Actually our POD Studio USB audio interfaces were designed to be an external soundcard to free up the user from taxing the Mac's CPU from Audio Processing resources.

In other words, you can route input and output (from your Mac) through the UX2 and let your Mac's CPU handle other tasks and run more efficiently.

Set your UX2 in the Mac OSX's Audio Preferences for Input and Output. Now, you will hear all system sounds (including iTunes, POD Farm, Garageband, Safari/YouTube video-audio streaming) through the headphone or Analog Outputs 1 & 2 of the UX2. This is what we designed the unit to do.

Toneport UX2/Pod Farm Connected To iMac - No Sound???

I got my Line 6 Toneport UX2 with Pod Farm today and have set up the system as standard andinstalled all the latest software and drivers by downloading them from Line 6. I connected the Toneport to the Mac via a USB cable and have my guitar input plugged straight into the Toneport UX2. Now it was my assumption that seeing the "Sound" control panel in "System Preferences" is registering a varying signal in the input graphics bars each time I strum the guitar that I should then logically be able to hear the Toneport audio through the computers speakers when I run and use Pod Farm.

But no, I have no audio output at all and can't hear my guitar, only iTunes. I only hear audio output from the Toneport if I use a pair of headphones via the socket at the front or I unplug the speakers from the Mac and plug them directly into the headphone output on the Toneport.

Ideally I want to be able to play music on iTunes and jam with it at the same time by running Pod Farm. Am i doing something really obviously stupid here?

It would make sense to me to have the audio coming through the Mac so that I can use the Pod Farm software, adjust the audio and tone and play over music with iTunes. Can anyone help me out with some advice?
