USB HUB problem with MBox/Midisport 4x4

[j20056]

I'm having a crippling problem. The MBox cannot work through a USB Hub, but neither can the Midisport 4x4. Given that my G4 tower only has 2 USB ports in the back, I cannot plug my keyboard anywhere. in other words, it is simply not possible to use an MBox and a Midisport 4x4 on a mac with Jaguar? Help appreciated!!!

YES the MBOX can only operate when directly connected to a Mac USP port.

there are very few USB Hubs that work for audiotransfers. Griffin Technology builds one and there are others.

But it´s not guaratneed to work though. Use one Mac USB port for the MBOX and connet the hub to the other.

I run my midisport 2x2 through one of these.....

I run with my Mbox plugged directly into one port, and a Midisport 2x2 plugged into a generic cheapo USB hub that my mom got with her iMac 5 years ago. I'm also running my keyboard/mouse, printer and M-Audio sonica audio interface off the USB hub, and don't have any problems with any of them, they all work great and I have zero problems with MIDI timing or anything else for that matter.

my mbox goes into my G4, then my keyboard is plugged in and i have my 2x2 runing through the other USB port on the keyboard. it works fine.

There are two types of USB hubs, low power and high power. Make sure you are using a high powered hub that delivers 500ma, not 100ma. (this is the diff between the two)
