When I'm composing in Reason, I like to listen on my computer speakers alternating with headphones. Since I don't have a treated studio room yet, this at least gives me some different media to check the mix with. (I also bounce it out and listen on various laptops, iPhone, etc.)
This has worked great composing on iMac: When I plug in the headphones, I hear Reason automatically in the phones. But with my new MacBook Pro, when I plug in the headphones, the sound still comes out of the speakers.
In Settings > Sound, I can see the MacBook switch from speaker output to headphone output when I plug the headphones in. So the computer is switching fine. Somehow Reason doesn't switch along with it like it does on the iMac. I have to go into Reason Preferences, then change the Audio from Microphone+Speakers to Headphones.
Has anyone had this issue on Mac?
Edit: MacBook Pro 2019 16" with Catalina. Reason 11 Intro.
Reason 11 Mac Headphones issue
Rather than "speakers" and "headphones" do you see an option for "built-in output"?
In the iMac, the two Reason options are:
-Built-in Microphone + Built-in Output (checked)
-Built-in Output
MacBook Pro options are:
-MacBook Pro Microphone + MacBook Pro Speakers (checked)
-MacBook Pro Speakers
It seems much the same setup on both computers, just slightly different wording.
p.s. if I'm playing Youtube, the sound automatically changes to the headphones on the MacBook, like I want it to in Reason.

Well in case anyone else has this issue, here's the solution. It wasn't specific to Reason, but something about Apples output device implementation:
