Why are midi and audio in/out mic and headphone not working but usb is?

one day all the jacks, except usb, on the back of my mk3 werent working. I can transfer audio and midi data through the usb both directions but none of the hardware jacks work. I didnt mess with settings so thats not the issue. Whether i choose core audio, mk3, my arturia minifuse makes no difference. Im at a loss. Ive troubleshot cable malfunction (ive had a tester and testee go out same time) , channel, line choices. Ive messed with aggregate device a little but cant rule that out as i dont have a solid grasp how that works because ive never had audio midi setup 100%, for example my volumes in audio are always at zero or greyed out but i get volume. Hope that helps narrow it down. Same issue with old mac running high sierra and my new m4 mac.

    when you use a aggregate device , you need to select that in the maschine settings / audio , you can also select your inputs and outputs

    Also check the midi section to make sure your inputs and outputs are active ( check box)

    Also there are some Mac privacy settings , in the Mac system settings , you definitely need to grant maschine access to the microphone ( which is really whatever audio inputs your are planning to use )
