Mic not giving feedback

[kels]

So at at first i had a issue with my interface not showing hardware at all. Due to the lovely update that messed everything up. I had OS high seierra 10.13.1 and nothing was connecting , i updated to 10.13.2 and now it shows that hardware is connected and streaming on my Mbox MINI . But when i open garage band and try to record I'm still not getting any feedback ??

Phantom powers on, everything connected, gains and mix is up, i know protools express is probably not compatible with this version of my Mac which is supper inconvenient but shouldn't i still be able to use my mic on garage band ?

my avid control manager won't open anymore, and i somehow downloaded a digicore manager which is saying DIGIDESIGN HW: unsupported device STATUS- not connected (HW not found) .

why is this not working ?? is there something else i have to download now, I've updated to the most recent driver . I ran out of things, i just want to make some songs

I'm really frustrated seing as i can't get any technical support, and i guess i have to pay if i'd like some help

Can someone please help me fix this problem.

I would try reinstalling the Mbox Core Audio driver. Truth be told, Avid hardware is rarely the best choice to use with any DAW other than Pro Tools(where they work great). If you do go shopping for a different interface, skip the M-audio stuff too I assume you tried the Mic/DI button?
