Default Re: Mbox not working after mac goes to sleep

There are several things to consider here.
The recommendation to not use sleep when using ProTools is so the computer doesn't go to sleep automatically in the middle of recording. That would be unfortunate.
The failure of the Mbox when coming out of sleep would be a bug in the Digidesign USB driver code for the Mbox.

A solution is:
- don't enable auto sleep in Energy Saver Preferences while the Mbox is connected
- unplug the Mbox before manually putting the computer to sleep

Other USB audio devices handle sleep correctly - such as the iPod and the Radio Shark. That's why I suggest it's a Digidesign bug.
