Default PT Unable to Locate Mbox 2 Mini
On my Macbook Pro, Pro Tools 8 is "unable to locate" my Mbox 2 Mini. Digi Core Audio Manager says "Unsupported Device". The green LED does illuminate and Pro Tools 8 used to recognize it but now it does not.

Everything was working until I upgraded to Pro Tools 8.0.4 . I tried upgrading my OS from 10.5.8 to 10.5.8 (combo pack) to compensate. Tried PT uninstall and restart. Now Mbox Mini 2 has a demo mode that outputs beeps and white noise. Still no recognition from Digi software.

Will my Mbox 2 Mini ever work again?

Computer Specs:
Macbook Pro
OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard)
2 GB RAM

How does this relate to Katy Perry? Are you plugged directly into the computer or is it going through a hub? Plug it into the USB port closest to your power supply.

I'm certain his problem is directly related to Katy Perry - might be too much - might be too little - tough to tell without more specs...
