Default Re: Mbox Pro 1st Generation Useless?

I was referring to the mbox drivers.

Currently what I'm trying to do is make it the default audio device as opposed to the internal soundcard.

I have a mixer, but I'd like to take advantage of the mbox dac as opposed to the soundcard, as it crackles and is low quality.
The dark blue mini, mBox and mBox Pro are the 2nd gen.
First gen was the original light blue no MIDI unit that Focusrite helped them make.
The third gen are the AVID units.

To use the second gen on Windows you have to do additional setup within the Windows.
Go to the Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Manage Audio Devices

There you have to configure what is fed to and from the mBox 2, once done it will function properly.
