Changing the device Playback Engine uses
I just finished installing Pro Tools LE 8.0 and MBox2 on a Win XP computer. After much head scratching I got a an input to work and recorded a track through the MBox2. The computer has built-in sound on the motherboard and I want to playback through that, but it isn't listed in the Playback Engine or any of the Setup menu choices. My Windows control panel has it as the default device, but Pro Tools is ignoring it. In the Setup menu, Hardware lists only MBox2.
I went to the index of the Pro Tools Reference Guide (in the Help menu) and looked up "Playback Engine". There is one page listed: 1010, but there is nothing on the page that refers to the Playback Engine. Doing a "Find" search in the pdf document, I found several instances of Playback Engine. But none had anything about how to select a different device. Can anyone tell me how to do this? |

If you want/need audio to come out of the computer's built in soundcard, you will need to use different software.

Re: Changing the device Playback Engine uses
I use PT LE 8 in a Windows XP system myself--with MBox2Pro. On the back
of your MBox you will find 1/4" monitor out jacks. Just plug a pair of powered monitor speakers (I use M-Audios) into these and you're good to go as far as hearing the audio of your recordings. Best wishes |
