SQ-5 to Mac Logic Pro Basic Setup

Hello everyone. New guy here. I have what should be the most basic question however for the life of me I can’t figure it out.

I picked up an SQ-5 for home use and am doing basic setup. I can run a few things through the inputs on the SQ-5 (like a mic or an MPCX) and I can hear the audio from both through a couple of monitor speakers connected to the SQ-5 A/B Out. So I’ve got that part right. Where I’m stumped is with trying to run the audio out from the SQ-5 via USB to Logic Pro on my Mac. I’ve switched the USB to USB-B on the SQ-5. Downloaded, installed, and configured (I think) the MIDI Control on the Mac. Watched every YouTube setup video I can. But for the life of me I can’t get any audio on the Mac.

Can anyone point me in the right direction or give me some things to tryout? I’m new so go easy.

Did you tell Logic to use the SQ as your Input/Output device?
Channel 47/48 (Labeled USB by default) are configured to receive audio via USB 1&2 which corresponds to the stereo out of Logic.
Is the USB cabel working?

Thx for jumping in Andre. If I disconnect/connect the USB cable, the Input Port and Output Port labels in the MIDI Control window on the Mac will update to indicate if the SQ is available or unavailable. So I think the USB cable is working.

The one part that jumps out at me is this: within the MIDI Control screen on the Mac, I believe that the two little boxes in the bottom right corner should change status as audio becomes available from the SQ. They do not.
