MBox 2 drivers
I apologize if this is a dumb question, but after much searching, I've come up with nothing.
My friend bought a used MBox 2 a couple years ago off craigslist. He had it working OK with a PowerMac, but eventually the thing just died. So, I helped him get a new laptop, originally running Vista. He couldn't get his version of Pro Tools (6.something, I think) to work. So he got a version (I think off Craigslist), which is PTLE 8. He couldn't get that to work, either. We then upgraded his laptop to Windows 7. Basically, he gets a little bit into the installation procedure, and it fails because it can't find drivers for his MBox 2. This should be a simple thing to download off digidesign's website, but I can't find anything for the life of me. Where would I download MBox 2 drivers? It seems like everything should work just fine if the PC could just recognize the device. I also know he's never updated the MBox 2's firmware, but I don't know if that's an issue. Any help is very much appreciated! Jon |

XP works best. Vista is also supported. 32 bit version of Win7 works, but is not guaranteed. My reply is true if you are using Pro Tools LE 8. If you are trying PTLE 6.x, then there may be other requirements. |
Re: MBox 2 drivers
For Vista, you need at LEAST 7.4, earlier versions will not work.

No, it's Win7 x86 (32-bit). And I got it working. It was just ridiculously difficult to find the drivers. Had to do some reboots during the PTLE install, but it worked out.
Here are the drivers, in case anyone else needs to know: http://www.digidesign.com/index.cfm?...4&itemid=23087 Scroll to the bottom and click "Standalone Windows Audio Drivers v7.4" You may need to create an account and login. |

Re: MBox 2 drivers
Hmm... who knows? My buddy installed Win7, popped in the Mbox 2, no response (the lights didn't even come on, or only 1 of 3 lights or something). He installed PTLE8, and it didn't work. Then he downloaded those drivers (7.4 of whatever), rebooted, installed PTLE8 again, and it worked.
I could find NO link to anything other than the v7.4 drivers. Those are just the drivers for the Mbox 2, though, shouldn't work with any version of PTLE, right? PTLE has its own drivers... I don't know, all I can say is it's definitely working now, and he's psyched. |
