Ok so i've found a workaround! thought i'd share it for whoever will need it.

Since it can be used as a standalone, i tried this:

After holding the "spkr" button on the MBOX PRO and putting it in stand-alone mode while still plugged into the laptop (spkr button starts blinking), I used an RCA cable plugged in into SPDIF, and connected it with a RCA/AUX adapter to the HEADPHONES mini jack input of the laptop, switched the default playback sound of windows to the laptops sound card (realtek in this case).. and voila :S

Not perfect but works like a charm ! i guess to switch back to pro tools monitoring ill just press on "spkr" and put back the pro tools settings in the mbox control panel
