Playback issues Mbox 3 pro (Pro tools Mbox pro)

[Strawberry89]

I've had my Mbox 3 for 2-3 months now and I havent experienced any problem, until now.

It started yesterday when the buffer got overloaded during playback, I use Ableton Live 8 by the way. So I tried to increase it, it took a while before I managed to do this, but this didn't seem to help the with the problem of the buffer overloading, it still remained.

So I downloaded the latest driver, 1.0 11 I belived it was, but still no differens. So I tried with some other project files I had wich had very few track but even there the audio cracks up, stops and makes it impossible to mix.

So I figured I try reinstalling Ableton and the Mbox(with pro tools 8). Start over from scratch again, but the problem still remains. Now I have yet another problem, when I, for example, watch a video on Youtube the audio only last about a second, then I hear a crackle and its gone. I have to close the page down and load it up again if I want to enjoy a few more seconds of sound.

I have searched the forum and other places for similar problem but I have yet to find one. I have done the optimization guide, reinstalled the drivers, made a new user account with no luck.

To summarise, the problem is:

* I can only listen to audio for a couple of second before it disappears, some times longre some times shorter. The Pro Tools dvd-tutorial lasted like ten seconds before it got silent.
* Yep, that's my problem right there

I use:

Ableton Live 8.3
Mbox audio driver 1.0 11
Windows 7

I hope you have enough information, please let me know otherwise.
