If you are trying PTLE 6.x, then there may be other requirements. My reply is true if you are using Pro Tools LE 8. 32 bit version of Win7 works, but is not guaranteed. Reinstall with a 32 bit operating system. Digidesign has not made 64 bit drivers yet. If it is the 64 bit version of Windows 7, then it will not work. I also know he's never updated the MBox 2's firmware, but I don't know if that's an issue. Where would I download MBox 2 drivers? It seems like everything should work just fine if the PC could just recognize the device. This should be a simple thing to download off digidesign's website, but I can't find anything for the life of me.
We then upgraded his laptop to Windows 7.īasically, he gets a little bit into the installation procedure, and it fails because it can't find drivers for his MBox 2. So he got a version (I think off Craigslist), which is PTLE 8. He couldn't get his version of Pro Tools (6.something, I think) to work. Maybe the AMS setup is grabbing the CORE AUDIO driver as soon as you turn on the unit which wouldnt allow Protools to connect to it.
Check your AMS setup to see if your Mac is set to default to the CORE AUDIO driver for your system sounds from the Mac. So, I helped him get a new laptop, originally running Vista. Re: mbox 2 with cubase or other software. He had it working OK with a PowerMac, but eventually the thing just died. My friend bought a used MBox 2 a couple years ago off craigslist. I apologize if this is a dumb question, but after much searching, I've come up with nothing.
