I compose, and when I play back what I have written, it always plays through the computer speakers. I have a mixer, and on my computer System Preferences the output on the mixer, USB AUDIO CODEC, is selected. iTunes songs play through it fine, as does internet audio. But Sibelius still plays through the computer speakers. When I export it to iTunes, it plays through the mixer. Why does Sibelius, exclusively, play through the computer speakers? I use a MacBook Pro, OS 10.12.4, and Sibelius 8.5.1. Thanks. Tom in Texas

Why? Because it's been told to in its settings. I never use Macs so can't give specifics, but you should find the settings in 'Audio Engine Settings' in the Playback section. A little digging around here should find that same USB Audio available as an output device.
