Tim,
Do you have *anything* plugged into the LINE IN jack on the K3S? If so,
that overrides audio from the internal CODEC.
I don't know Apple, but I do know the K3. Go to your computer's
soundcard gain and set the slider for the soundcard output to about 2/3
of maximum.
THEN - during the Fldigi transmit, set the K3S LINE IN level to produce
4 bars solid with the 5th bar flickering on the ALC meter. That is the
proper drive level. Note that for the K3/K3S, this is the NO ALC point.
Adjust the desired power with the power knob. Ignore the internet
advice to use the audio level to adjust the power - the K3/K3S is
different than most transceivers in its power control mechanism.
BTW, you can do those transmit adustments with the K3/K3S in TX TEST
mode so no RF is generated - keep the airways clean of "tuneup signals".

Fellow Elecrafters,
I am trying to do some Digital modes but using the
computer/Software
I am running a MacMini, with K3-S. Software is a Fldigi (3.23-13 latest as of
today).
Wiring - 1 USB cable from K3-S to MacMini.
I am using the RIGCat interface.
Configure->Sound Card -> Audio is set to USB Audio Codec (See below for device
confirmation)
K3-A is in DATA-A mode.
PTT-KEY is set to OFF-OFF (mentioned in the k3.xml right file)
QSY Works
Mode Works
RX Works - nice decoding on the Computer screen
But no TX Output. The K3-S red TX light is on - but nothing ….
