Default original mbox interface not being noticed in logic or system prefrences?!

Hi i need help...

so just bought an mbox 1 interface and the thing is not showing up in the in or output in logic pro x, it isn't in my system sound preferences either... is it because i upgraded to mac os 10.10 yosimite and there is no compatible standalone core audio driver for this update?! if so, is this interface pointless for me to have with my 2013 comp. or can i still get it to work.. i do not have pro tools FYI.

one more thing! garage band recognizes it but when i record it shows its recording then i press stop recording and it just disappears (if it helps the recording bar is red while recording). I'm so confused... also very new to all this. this is my first mic please somebody help me!!!!

- lost and confused.

Hi,

Mbox 1 is not compatible with Yosemite. Support was dropped around leopard/ panther OS.

There is actually a 3rd-party driver that works just fine with Mbox1 and Yosemite. I've confirmed it myself. It's not at all free, but you can try the demo, it "beeps" every 30 seconds:

(For anyone interested: I used the USB-Audio driver for a long time with PT9 on OSX 10.6.8 too. I bet it still works on the latest OS'es.)
