Mbox 2 & Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9

[Jay_Red27q]

This my setup

Macbook Pro (Mid 2010)
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 Ghz
8 Gigs Ram
1TB HD
Pro Tools 10 & 11
Mbox 2
Rockit RP5, Alesis Q24, 2 MPD 32's, 82 key midi keyboard, Condincer Mic, Headphone Amp, Turntable.

The problem i'm having is that I can't get any sound output from my Mbox 2. All the lights are on indicating that it is indeed connected to the computer, I can select it as my main sound output source for my Mac, but I get no output from iTunes, Logic Pro or anything. I'm running the latest 10.3.3 drivers. My computer however does read input going into it, so If i have a microphone plugged in it reads that just fine. Anyone else experienced this problem that could help me? Thanks.

pro tools wont work yet with Maverick. And Maverick will not permit Pro tools 10 and 11 to run on the same machine yet.

I thought Pro Tools 11.0.3 was released which included compatibility for Mac OS X Mavericks.

This link right here says it supports Mavericks, as well as Mountain Lion.

I can already testify that I have Pro Tools 11.0.3 running on my Macbook Pro. My problem is my Mbox 2 isn't giving out sound output with any application.

Is there an Mbox2 driver that is supported on Mavericks?


I havent seen one other than the Mbox Pro.

I don't see that Mbox 2 drivers have been upgraded to support Mavericks. There have been many new driver updates released over the last few days for other devices that add Mavericks support though. I do not know either way, but new drivers may be coming. See here for the latest drivers:http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/e...nload/en379411

That will be your problem - Mavericks and PT works fine, but not Mavericks and Mbox 2/mbox 2 mini. Mbox 2 hardware is supposed to be supported through 2015 so hopefully an update will be here soon

I'm waiting patiently

Do you have a 1TB Fusion Drive?

I recenly update to Mavericks OS10.9. [bleep]I have a Digidesign MBox2 audio interface connected. [bleep]Prior to updating to 10.9 I was running 10.8 with NO problems, however as soon as I updated to 10.9 I lost use of my audio interface devices.

I have looked over all of the post out there regarding this issue and have downloaded many possible sollutions and drivers. [bleep]NONE HAVE WORKED.

I get audio from my MBox2 if I play a vido using quicktime, however no sound from either itunes, garageband or Imovie. [bleep]Yes, the imac still works fine with the internal inputs and outputs but when I try to use my audio interface it does not recognize it.

When I go to system preferenes - sound and select the Mbox2 it says it "the selected device has no output controls" the same happens on the input side. [bleep]The clock is set to internal, I used the MIDI setup in the Utilities but again, it appears as though there are no input or output controls.

The funny thing is I can play a video using quicktime and the interface works fine. [bleep] THE AVID DIGIDESIGN SITE avid.force.com is recommending not to upgrade to Mavericks, would have been nice to know this before I rendered my very much needed audio interface unusable.

I am using Digidesign firmware v1.38 and have downloaded[bleep]http:/mbox2firmwareintel_28750-2[bleep],[bleep]Mbox_2_Driver_v90_69594-2[bleep],[bleep]Mbox_1_2_0_Drivers_80535[bleep]all to no avail.

One important thing to note is the my coreaudio driver no longer.

I know there is a signal going through the Mbox2 because it does play back the quicktime videos and I can play my guitar through the interface and even get sound from the external speakers, so all hard connections are in place.

HELP!! [bleep] This is obiously a patch or update that has to be addressed by either apple or Avid. [bleep]I have noted many people making note online that their audio interfaces quit working when they updated to Mavericks. [bleep]This is not good and not just with the inteface I have, I have seen many others that no longer work.

Just a short update for either AVID or APPLE both of whom I hope are looking into a solution for the problem many of us are facing with the recent Mavericks OS X 10.9 update and the operation of our audio interface devices. In my case it is an MBOX 2.

Observations.

If I use quicktime player I get audio output through my external audio interface. If I try to use garage band, itunes or imovie audio interface does NOT work. Only works with Quicktime.

Truly do not understand why after several months the firmware or device drivers for MBox 2 are not yet available from AVID. Hoping this short note gets to them, hopefully we can speed the process up.

Any of you out there with the same problem, try the quicktime.
