Mbox Pro 3 not recognized on Sierra
Been using Protools for years using a BLA modded 002R and a 2011 iMac. I recently bought a used Mbox Pro 3 for my daughter and am trying to test it out for her with my girlfriend's 2015 MacBook Pro using the Firewire to Thunderbolt adapter and nothing here either. Running Sierra on both. Haven't dared to update to High Sierra. I have the latest drivers and Protools. Not showing up as connected. Is this definitely a driver thing? Is there no option but to wait for Avid to fix it with new drivers? Anyone have luck with this?

Re: New Mbox 3 Pro Driver Needed for Pro Tools 2018.1
On my home system, MBox Pro 3 working 100% with High Sierra 10.13.2. This is a supported config. Not sure why it wouldn't be seen.

What computer are you using? And are you using a firewire to thunderbolt adapter?

Firewire cables can be flaky. Try a different cable, and do whatever you can to get a FW800>400 cable. The 800>400 adapters are a pain. Also make sure you have Mbox Pro app available to troubleshoot.

Re: Mbox Pro 3 not recognized on Sierra
I had the same problem but have finally found the solution after a lot of head scratching. Hopefully you did the same thing as me anyway and this fixes it for you.
I remembered when I installed the driver a pop up came up and in my haste to get things working (ironically) I didn't read it and clicked OK (In blue making you think you should press it) and carried on the installation. Anyway, that pop up was the critical part, you need to click to allow extensions by "Avid Technology Inc". No matter how many times I uninstalled and reinstalled the Mbox Pro 1.3.5 driver I couldn't get the pop up to display and I couldn't see a way to manually add the extension exception. This is how I fixed it. 1. Uninstall 1.3.5 driver 2. Install the incorrect Mbox (Not Pro) driver 1.2.13 but this time clicking 'Open Security Preferences' and adding the exception for extensions by "Avid Technology Inc". 3. Unistall 1.2.13 4. Install 1.3.5 driver again The Mbox Pro now works! I hope this helps. |
