Which option updates the default I/O mapping for new sessions when configuring a USB interface?

• A. I/O default is configured automatically and cannot be changed.
• B. Click Default in Setup > I/O to apply the current input/output mappings for new sessions.
• C. Every new session automatically uses the last-closed session's I/O without changing.
• D. Use a template session; there is no dedicated Default button.

Answer: (B)

The concept being tested is how to set the default I/O routing for new sessions in Pro Tools. You configure the input and output assignments for your USB interface in Setup > I/O, and then save that configuration as the default so every new session starts with those same mappings. This is done by clicking the Default button in the I/O Setup dialog, which updates the default I/O for all new sessions. This makes onboarding new projects quicker and ensures consistent routing. The other options don’t fit because you can change the default (so it’s not fixed forever), new sessions don’t automatically adopt the last-closed session’s I/O, and there is a dedicated Default button rather than relying only on templates.
