Default MBOX2 + ProTools = No Sound. HELP!

Turned on my rig the other night and NO SOUND from my compositions. So I ran a test and recorded a vocal, I can see that it recorded it but it's no Wave pattern on the screen and NO SOUND. When I play it back, I can see the meter jumping as if something was recorded, but I CANNOT HEAR A THING.

Any advice is greatly appreciated. thanks in advance.

Default Re: MBOX2 + ProTools = No Sound. HELP!

Hard to say with a system as old as this. Disconnect both ends of the USB cable and re-connect would be step #1 for me. Next, I would uninstall PT(with Mbox unplugged), Re-install PT and connect the Mbox when the installers asks for it(and wait about 8 seconds before continuing). Does any sound play out thru the Mbox?(assuming you have the MIX knob halfway or fully to the "Playback" side)

Ok, ran those tests you mentioned and a few of my own and it seems to be working good again. I will continue to tweek with it until I'm confident fully. thanks for the tips

I'm afraid to uninstall PT and lose all my work. but I tried unhooking the usb for 30 seconds and I can playback songs, but I can get any sound from my mics? I see the green mic lights on display are one but no sound from the mics.

I recently bought an MPCX and it plays through the MBox2 just fine.
