no sound from mbox 2 pro
hello again,
Man is this thing just giving problems one after another. So after solving my firewire problem now I'm not getting any sound from the mbox 2 pro. When I have a source connected to any of the inputs it is registering a signal by lighting up the indicator on the mbox itself but no signal is getting to the open session nor can I hear anything through headphones or out the monitor mix. Here is my report again SiSoftware Sandra ID Host Name : JohnandKeri-PC Workgroup : WORKGROUP Computer Model : Dell Inspiron 1720 Serial Number : JPJ**** Chassis : Dell Portable Mainboard : Dell 0UW524 Serial Number : .JPJP7D1.CN4************ BIOS : Dell A03 08/16/2007 Total Memory : 2GB DDR2 SO-DIMM Processors Processor : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T5250 @ 1.50GHz (2C 1.5GHz, 2MB L2) Socket/Slot : FC µPGA (Socket P) Chipset Memory Controller : Dell Mobile PM965/GM965/GL960 Express Processor to DRAM Controller 4x 166MHz (664MHz), 2x 1GB DDR2 SO-DIMM 664MHz 128-bit, Integrated Graphics Memory Module(s) Memory Module : Samsung M4 70T2953EZ3-CE6 1GB DDR2 SO-DIMM PC2-5300U DDR2-666 (5-5-5-15 3-20-5-3) Memory Module : Samsung M4 70T2953EZ3-CE6 1GB DDR2 SO-DIMM PC2-5300U DDR2-666 (5-5-5-15 3-20-5-3) Video System Monitor/Panel : Samsung Generic PnP Monitor (1600x1200, %5@Hg?Ĺ˙ , 17.2") Running Pro Tools 8.0.5 on Windows Vista 32 bit Plus I'm using a western digital external drive 80gb (yeah I know it's small but I don't keep session files for long) connected through usb 2.0 The mbox 2 pro is connected to a 4pin firewire port. I never had problems until my mbox 2 died and I had to replace it with this mbox 2 pro I have now. Once again please help. |

Re: no sound from mbox 2 pro
How exactly did you "solve" the firewire issue? This computer is way under-spec'd for Pro Tools At the very least, try adding a link to the thread where you posted the Sandra report(or abandon this thread and continue that one).

Re: no sound from mbox 2 pro
I downladed and installed thewindows driver for the mbox2 pro from the avid site separately and the power light stopped blinking.
After that i was finally able to boot up pro tools but now as i said i'm not geting sound through headphones or out the monitor outs. And pro tools is not receiving a signal when i connect a source to any input. Here is the link to my post about the mbox 2 pro not being recognized http://duc.avid.com/showthread.php?t=336781 After posting there i thought maybe I had an out of date driver. So like I said I downloaded the driver and that seemed to help.... Sorta. Just no sound. |

Re: no sound from mbox 2 pro
Can you here the input if you use the direct monitoring?
When you went from the mBox 2 to the mBox 2 Pro what message did PT give you about your configuration changing. Are you using the digital or analog I/O? Check to see if you can use it with some other software or Windows sound. Try input and output settings in Windows, you can see the metering for the mBox there.

Re: no sound from mbox 2 pro
Yes. I have to turn the input gain and headphone volume up in order to hear anything plus there alot white noise. Otherwise no sound when running pro tools.
I think I may have a bad mbox. I bought it used at a music shop. I'm gonna return it and see if I can get an mbox 2 again. I cant afford anything new right now. |
