I am looking at the differences of my linux setup and the mac setup.
When I start ardour on Linux in the first start up screen under audio 
setup I sea fields
Input Device (ICE 1712 multi) Output Device (ICE 1712 multi)
(this is showing my M-Audio internal sound card).
However, when I start ardour on my macbook these fields are missing.
A lot of fields are missing under Options.
Perhaps the difference is between the ardour versions I am using on 
linux and OX (I am not too skilled to tell this).
But perhaps the babyface is not recognized properly on macbook and this 
is the source of the problems.
I am just not sure what the problem is. It seems all the signals are 
rerouted back to the babyface and noothing come to the computer/ardour.
Thanks,
