The • System Output option allows you to choose which sound card the Mac System Settings are
played through. You may NOT want to choose this to be your Line 6 device, since it can be rather
annoying to hear those dings, beeps or frogs croaking at blaring volumes in your headphones
or monitors when working in your audio application! Even better, you can turn these system
settings off completely in the System Preferences > Sounds dialog.
