M Box 2 not working at all windows 7
Hey Guys, Well I have a little problem. I am very new to Pro Tools. I know the software is not going to work with Windows 7, Ecspecially since I have old Protools 6.8
With that being said. I just want to use the M Box 2 that i just bought with some other kind of recording software, but when I plug in my Mbox nothing happens and no lights come on. Windows is not reading the Mbox correctly. Its giving me messsages that says "the installation is not complete" and also something about a needed audio driver. I tried loading some other kind of recording software that works with Windows 7 and it still will not recognize the Mbox 2. Is there something I need to download or get, maybe a update or driver? I have no idea but I just want the Mbox 2 to power up and work. Please help! Thanks! |

Re: M Box 2 not working at all windows 7
UPDATE - This is a brand new laptop with Windows 7. I had an old computer that I just sold with Windows XP yesterday and I plugged it into that one installed protools 6.8 which did not work and then the lights lit up. But they are not coming on at all on the new laptop with Windows 7.

Pro Tools is not qualified with windows 7 yet. The ASIO driver that is used to communicate with non-PT recording software has not been updated either. If you absolutely need to use windows 7 you are kinda outta luck.

Re: M Box 2 not working at all windows 7
I heard that Sonar and Reaper now work with Windows 7 though. I just don't understand why the Mbox woul dnot work at all. I mean it s just connected by USB. Their has got to be a way I can just use my Mbox on Windows 7 with another kind of recording software. Anybody know how?

Studio One also works in windows 7. Most DAWs do, most have free demos as well, so try them all and see what you like. Also it should not be much longer before PT is fully Windows 7 compatible, but you will need 8.0 as far as I know.

When I plug in my Mbox it does try and locate a driver, but it never finds one. No power or anything. When I try and use other recording software it does not show the Mbox or anything. I cannot even get a single light on this Mbox.
