Hi garagebandcableconnection,
Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities! If you try another cable, does the issue remain? We would also suggest the following steps from the article below that may help:
If GarageBand isn't working on your Mac
If you’re using an external audio interface, try using the built-in audio on your Mac instead of the interface.
1. Unplug your external audio interface from your Mac.
2. Open GarageBand, then choose GarageBand > Preferences > Audio/MIDI.
3. Choose Built-in Output from the Output Device pop-up menu.
4. Choose Built-in Microphone (or Built-in Input, depending on your computer) from the Input Device pop-up menu.
5. Open and play back a project that has been experiencing issues.
If the project opens and plays back properly, you might need to update or service your audio interface. Contact the manufacturer for support.
Hope this helps!
Have a great day.
