Hi HF,
When I booted up for the first time on my mac pro the "sound
preferences" were set to Internal speakers "built in output" this is
the first choice in the output table found in sound preferences.
I chose Line out which is choice #2 "Built in LINE OUTPUT" this
routed VoiceOver out the sound card.
The third choice is digital output this was fun because at the time
there was no digital outputs hooked up so VoiceOver got Laryngitis !
LOL
after installing my Digi HD3 cards it put a fourth choice in the sound
prefs table which was digidesignHW Hd "pcie card"
What is probably going on at your school is they have the built in
line output routed to a mixer chann that is Potted down!
Make sure you have cursor tracking off when exploring the "sound
output devices table!
If you navigate to a output device with cursor tracking on that output
choice becomes active and if you don't have any outputs hooked up for
that choice "no out puts" VoiceOver shuts up!!!
Talk soon

I've only thus far used Pro Tools on laptops. So VoiceOver just
comes out of the regular little speakers, which is fine. What
happens on the Mac Pro's? Do we hear Voice over through the onboard
sound-card?
I've noticed at my school that any time I've tried to turn on Voice
Over on any of the PT HD systems, Voice Over either doesn't turn on
or no speech. Could it be that the onboard sound cards get somehow
disconnected or turned off?
