Mac OS X and Audio Triggers

Hi guys,
I notice that the audio triggers don't appear to be working as expected on the Mac. Even at full volume, the trigger meters only register a small audio level. I have uploaded some screenshots here to demonstrate...
This is the song playing in the audio software...

I would expect the VU meters to be somewhere near the top? Perhaps a mathematical anomaly in the code somewhere that is dividing the volume level down to a very small amount?
Many thanks,
Chris
Ran into same problem. Mac won't internally play music files into the audio spectrum trigger program. You are seeing the internal mic, pick up the internal speakers. That's why it shows something, but very low.
Try plugging your headset output back into your mic input on the side of the computer. Turn up headphone volume and mic volumes as needed. It will now work correctly.
A slight correction to the above. There might be an electronic mismatch just plugging directly from headphone back into the mic input. I ran mine through an active headphone splitter. Others, on this site, might be better talking to that possible concern.
No this was listening to the audio directly, not via the microphone. I use a virtual sound distribution driver to re-direct audio from one program to another. I have my audio player playing its audio directly into QLC and the result is still very low... the issue is somewhere in the QLC source code.
