Mbox 3 Mini drivers for El Capitan? (Interface not recognized)

[ShredSavage]

After a few days using this, the driver is really unstable. Audio will just stop entirely and require a reboot. Mbox Mini control panel still won't open properly and says "Driver Interface Process was not found."

BUT
The Avid Mbox Mini is present in the Audio Settings Menu and in Pro Tools...

I'm concerned about your install since you mentioned it doesn't display properly in the control panel. Can you please manually delete the files below then run the 1.3.1 installer again?

./Applications/Mbox Mini.app
./Library/Application Support/Avid/{01313D13-570C-4a5c-8192-2EFEA4EA64D5}
./Library/Extensions/AvidMboxMini.kext
./Library/LaunchAgents/com.avid.mboxmini.helper.plist
./Library/PreferencePanes/Avid Mbox Mini.prefPane
./System/Library/Extensions/AvidMboxMini.kext

...looking forward to your results, thanks!

Thanks for responding. I've deleted all of these files and re-installed 1.3.1 but am still having the same issue. Here's how I'm doing it, please let me know if I've done something wrong.
- Delete files from above
- Reboot
- Install 1.3.1
- Reboot
- Shut Down
- Connect Mbox Mini
- Boot Up
- Check Mbox Mini Control Panel

I've done the installation with the device disconnected and connected just to be thorough.. same result.
The device DOES show up in Sound in System Prefs.

I had similar issue. In my case I was missing some files that needed to be deleted from the old driver, which I hadn't found. They were hanging there so the uninstallation wasn't complete.

Once I deleted all files related to old driver, I installed the new driver (doing the process exactly as you describe doing it, with the unit disconnected, etc) and now everything's fine. I'm sure your problem has to do with your PT not being version 12.4...If I were you I'd solve that first and I'm sure that'll sort it out.

Good luck!

The Mbox Mini still isn't recognized by the control panel, which I'm not surprised by because my version of Pro Tools shouldn't have anything to do the the interface being recognized by it's own control panel. I could be using any DAW with the Mini. Pro Tools DOES see the Mini as does my System Sound Prefs.

This has turned into a total ****show for me. Avid updated my account to install 12.4 but for some reason took down the 12.2 install file. So, I uninstall it to the best of my ability using AppCleaner and sorting through all the usual folders myself. I Install 12.3 and the installation says it's successful but when I try to open Pro Tool it prompts me saying that Pro Tools is trying to install a Helper program. I type in my password but the window pops back up and Pro Tools crashes. SHEESH! At least before it kinda worked. Also, there's no Uninstalls included with theses Install files?

EDIT: After deleting some shoe files I saw from another thread, Pro Tools opened for me after prompting me to install helper. It didn't install anything but it does at least run now.

Mbox mini still not installing properly.
