this has to do with your audio hardware. what interface are you using to get in and out of pro tools?

Open the utility for the Firebox and select one of those buffer values(you may need to select the same value in Pro Tools). There are often some little hurdles to using 3rd party interfaces

just set it in the software for firebox. typically 64 for tracking and might raise it to 1024 for mixing depending on the power of the computer. it will automatically set these parameters in pro tools as it will slave to the hardware.

Problem is I don't know how to step by step change it in the firebox. brand new to the whole system.

First try Pro Tools>Setup>Playback Engine. Start by selecting higher buffer size then try incrementally lowering.

Generally speaking, low buffers are better for recording (lower latency) high buffers are better when editing (less taxing on computer resource).

It might help to give some more info on what outboard equipment you're using and your computer spec's;

I have the Miko it uses presonus"FIREBOX' 24bit/96k firewire recording interface

Is this system even compatible with pro tools 9?

I can't even get into pro tools at all. it is saying i have to change the buffer size in my hardware before i can even enter the program and i do not know step by step how to do so.
