I'm a new user to Protools. After a first attempt at trying to record some guitar riffs through Input 1 on the Mbox2, I can't seem to get any audio playback from ProTools 7.3, neither can i hear what i'm currently playing through the computer speakers either. Got any idea's? Here are my computer specs:

Ummm... yes.

You need to be monitoring the audio from the MBox2, not from the speakers connected to your computer.
