What tool in Catalyst to control the sound input channel?

Applications/utilities/audio midi setup

but you should be able to look at the sound inputs in the system preferences in the sound inputs tab

You can then enable audio input into catalyst in the inputs widow in the HUD.
Catalyst picks up the audio channels that are made available to it by OSX. the controls for the sound inputs are done by the OS, there are no controls in catalyst just meters in the inputs window.

hope that helps

Literally Catalyst uses the audio interfaces it sees with Core Audio, which differs with different interfaces.

I think what you need to know is that Audio Playback uses playback mode 70 to 75

and using DMX to control the volume --- ah well I havn't to to that chapter yet....

just patch the catalyst layer volume device. it uses 1 channel.

The original question was about audio input however, not output.

yes, sorry, i had read that on my phone...input not output

the os chooses the input, select that input in the system preferences, then start catalyst and it should use those...correct?

I know about play mode and how to control sound of layer by dmx.

I'm building rack whith catalyst and see to http://www.pro-systems-group.com/ru/produktsiya/psg/av-patch-panel

Want to make a similar.

And the question arose - why there is a sound input?
Not for manage, but for FX? What are other applications of the input sound?

SMPTE-Timecode uses also the Sound Input
There are also some FX which uses the Sound Input (like waveform or soundmeters in visual-fx)
