Does Mbox 2 support Multi client?

[djcreation24]

Hello. Can somebody confirm if the Mbox 2 support Multi client? I'm running PT 8.4 LE on Windows 7 64 bit and I'd like to play my midi controller+microphone XLR all connecting to the Mbox 2 inside Skype/Paltalk. It would required "stereo mix" to do that. I do have stereo mix onboard integrated, but I want use the Mbox 2. Can somebody or perhaps Avid employee clarify that to me, I would greatly appreciate that. My problem is that every time I run PT, I no longer able to play audio thorugh WMP or serving youtube, or speaking/chatting through Skype, Paltalk etc. Please help. Here is a Sandra report on my PC:

Hello Dism. How do I do that? The microphone being connected to line 1 works perfectly fine in Skype/Paltalk, but the problem lies when I play audio or trigger my midi keyboard - I get no sound. This is what I see under playback devices:

1. Digital Audio (HDMI) integrated HD audio

2. Digidesign Mbox 2 Analog 1/2

3. Speakers integrated HD Audio

4. S/PDIF integrated HD audio

5. Digital Output integrated HD audio

I'm not using speakers. I'm using the headphone that is being connected to the Mbox 2. In this case the "Digidesign Mbox 2 analog 1/2" is selected.

Under recording devices here is what is shown:

1. Digidesign Mbox2 Analog 1/2

2. Digidesign Mbox 2 S/PDIF 3/4

3. Microphone integrated HD audio

4. CD Player integrated HD audio

5. Line in integrated HD audio

6. Stereo Mix integrated HD audio

Normally I would select "Stereo Mix integrated HD audio." This will allow me to play audio inside Skype/Paltalk. But that's onboard! So it won't work. So how can I use the Mbox 2 rather than the onboard stereo mix?

Another problem is after I open PT, I can't hear anything in side Skype/Paltalk anymore. Since you said Mbox 2 is multi client, how do i get sound from both?

I think I might let this Mbox 2 go. Anybody want it? Pm me.
