Try this:-

1. Open Reaper
2. Go to REAPER menu at top of screen, the Preferences
3. Select Audio/Device and make sure you have your internal sound set in the Audio Device box. (Built-In Output)
4. OK Prefences Window
5. Go to Inser menu at top of screen and select 'virtual Instrument on new track'
6. Pick 'ReaSynth' (As a test) and press OK
7. The track should be all ready to go, just try playing your MIDI notes.

If you get no sound, then try pressing the record button on the transport bar (Cmd+R) and see if any notes get recorded into the timeline, if they don't then your issue is the MIDI device isn't set up correctly.

If this is the case, and you have it selected in REAPER's prefences then download MIDI Monitor, to check that your Mac is receiving notes from the iRig - https://www.snoize.com/MIDIMonitor/

If it does play notes into the timeline but you can't hear any noise, then open the mixer (View > Mixer) and see if you get any audio meters moving when you play - if you do, that means that REAPER is working fine, but your audio isn't coming out of whatever speaker you have setup, so double check your audio interface settings and/or speaker/headphone and volume settings in MacOS.
