Mbox 3 - audio dropouts or audio loop..
Hi,
I got audio dropouts every 5 or 10 minutes using my mbox 3. Sometime the audio loops and it won't stop until I disconnect the box. I'm on ableton live (latest version). I've been using this configuration for several years - never had any problem. The problem appeared at the same time I installed the latest driver from this page : http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/e...d/Mbox-Drivers My mbox 3 is pretty much unusable.. What can be done to fix this problem? Thanks in advance! |

Can you provide your full system specs? http://duc.avid.com/showthread.php?t=300050
Make sure you go through the Optimization Guide for your OS, specifically anything that has to do with power saving. Joel

Re: Mbox 3 - audio dropouts or audio loop..
Thanks for the info, have you gone through the Optimization Guide I had posted?
I'm a PC guy, so hopefully someone with more Mac experience can chime in, but 10.11.5 isn't officially supported for the Mbox 3, not to say it wont work: Supports Mac OS X 10.8.5, 10.9.5, 10.10-10.10.5, 10.11.1-10.11.3 Any changes of then the driver update done to your computer around the time the issues started? Any specific reason you updated the driver? Joel

Re: Mbox 3 - audio dropouts or audio loop..
I've gone through the first steps of the Optimisation Guide (energy saver, should I do all of them?).
I updated the driver for no particular reason except for having the latest driver version.

Re: Mbox 3 - audio dropouts or audio loop..
Have you tried going back to the older driver?

Re: Mbox 3 - audio dropouts or audio loop..
No, do I need to uninstall the actual driver before? Or can I directly download to the older driver?

You can manually uninstall by deleting the files listed for the Mbox 3.
