Not loading the PressStart.caf

I followed the instructions in Adding Sound Effects using the most recent non-beta version of Xcode. When I added the sound effect (making sure to properly click their target membership), I get an error on launch: *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'Failed to Load Resource', reason: 'Resource PressStart.caf can not be loaded' I attempted to manually re-add the sounds several times and also manually add them to Build Phases, but to no avail.

And I figured it out. If one uses a Audio Interface (musicians, sound designers, etc), it needs to be disabled because the iOS simulator apparently cannot account for it.
