Default Need help connecting mbox2 to my protools 12 with mac

My mac is a fairly new bought about a year ago i bought protools 12 brand new thinking the newer program the better. I bought a used mbox2 from a friend with usb cable to connect my condesor mic and it wont turn on i tried downloading many different programs and my friend provided a a disk with the drivers but my mac does not have a place for cd inserts.

I am going on 3 days trying to figure this out any help would be great thanks.

Hey Buddy

Welcome to the Community

Download the driver for your OS system here :

http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/e...-2-Pro-Drivers

See if that helps anything. Just for the record I don't thunk there are any new drivers for PT12 but I know that some members still have the Mbox2 running with PT12 so try the drivers and report back, Best of Luck

I am not that good at the mbox series so i hope someone else can chime in and help. We never used the Mbox unfortunately.

Wrong page? If you have the Mbox 2 (not pro) then your driver is here. http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/d...Mbox-2-Drivers

Unsupported means you're on your own. It doesn't mean it won't work. You won't know until you try.

The Mbox 2 was discontinued in September 2010 and reached the end of support in September 2015.
