I am a complete newbie to this and none of the articles I've found seem to answer this basic question (at least in any way I can understand). Is it possible to connect my guitar to the Helix pedal, and the pedal via USB to my MacBook and have the guitar audio play on the MacBook speakers?
If I open sounds in the Mac settings, I see the Helix listed as an input. When I strum the guitar I see the input level changing, so I know the computer is getting the signal. When I switch to output, I've got MacBook Pro Speakers selected. But I can't hear anything from the guitar. All other audio works fine - i.e. if I play a tune on Spotify or open up YouTube.
What's going wrong here?
