Trying to use Mbox Mini (III Gen) with PT 10.3.2 on my MacBook Pro
 

I am trying to use my Mbox 3rd Gen Mini with PT 10.3.2 on my MacBook Pro using Mac OS10.8.2. I can't get PT see the Mini (i.e. - Doesn't seem to see the Mini input). I see the Mini as an option in the hardware section but can't get it to work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks very much..

I guess you have the most recent diver installed? Hold down the n key when launching pro tools and select the mini. You may need to reset your I/O settings to their default settings.

I tried that and got:

"The current playback engine does not support a sample rate of 48kHz"

and then,

Could not create a new document because Assertion in "/Volumes/Development/ws.ProTools_10.3.2/AlturaPorts/DFW/MacBuild/../Views/UMenu.MacOS.mm", line 1351



..any other thoughts would be great.

Does the MBox show up in the macs sound prefs? If not I would do a full uninstall re install of the driver then pro tools.

I'm certainly no expert...and I'm going thru the exact same problem right now.

But I did notice that when you click on the Avid Mini Mbox icon in system preferences the sample rate can be changed for the device. Maybe that's part of the problem???

I gave up on the Mini 3 and went back to the Mbox with version 9 drivers and it works just fine now.

I haven't tried the mbox 3 again but would be interested in hearing how you got around the problems.

Hi, I am having exactly that issue right now & its very very exasperating..
Can anyone tell me how to fix this.. I am getting the same assertion error on startup ..... ending in "line 1351"..
*I have uninstalled & reinstalled PT to no avail.
*I have tried resetting the defaults in IO setup. It tells me "the interface cannot support 44.1"
* I can see the Mbox in my system prefs.
* I have installed the latest drivers for the mbox mini 2.. BUT I HAVE A FEELING THIS MAY BE THE PROBLEM.. can i uninstall & reinstall the correct driver? which one is it?
* I dont know how to fix this..
