Its an quite easy hack,
cause StartupItems are not used anymore in newer versions of OS X,
you simply got to launch the MBox2Service by launchctl :)

Install Instructions:

1. Install 10.3.9 or 10.3.3 Drivers from here
2. Download "com.digidesign.mbox2.plist" from here
3. Copy "com.digidesign.mbox2.plist" it into "/Library/LaunchAgents"
4. Open terminal and run "sudo chown root:wheel /Library/LaunchAgents/com.digidesign.mbox2.plist" (without quotes)
5. Open terminal and run "sudo chmod 644 /Library/LaunchAgents/com.digidesign.mbox2.plist" (without quotes)
6. Open terminal and run "sudo launchctl load -wF /Library/LaunchAgents/com.digidesign.mbox2.plist" (without quotes)
7. Delete "DigidesignLoader" from "/Library/StartupItems"
8. Reboot

So whenever a user logs in Mbox2Service will start and power it up...
Also tried to integrate it in early bootprocess but didnt help cause caused bootlag and sound playback wasnt available even if Mbox2 was powered up...

so HF
This worked nicely for me on 10.10.5 this morning.
Thank you!
