Default MBox Pro 3 Tuner Issue

I have a guitar plugged into Line 2 of the unit. Everything seems to be working fine, I have signal into my Eleven plugin in PT9, I can see and hear the signal coming in and going out of the Mbox pro the way I have configured, but there is no signal into the Tuner when I open that window. It is a minor annoyance, but it would nice to be able to use the tuner. I didn't find any instances of this issue here. MBox pro is working fine otherwise.

System is below, any ideas? Thanks-

Default MBox 3 pro guitar tuner - can't access it

Hi everyone,

I have never been able to access the guitar tuner from my MBox 3 pro by simultaneously holding the dim and mono switch as instructed in the manual. Has anyone else had this problem? Am I doing something wrong?

Thank for any help you might be able to give!

Default MBox3 Pro dsp effects

How do I get the dsp effects to work on my Mbox3 pro? Do I have to be running PT for this to work? Trying to simply put effects on Mic 1 input...don't hear any effects even though they are turned up on the control panel? Must be doing something wrong?
Thanks

Make sure the "FX Returns" knobs, located under the master volume, are also turned up. You can leave these at full gain and just adjust the individual channels' knobs.

Hmmmm.....
Have you double checked that the mix that you are adjusting is the one you are listening to?
Say for example maybe you are adjusting "stereo mix 1" or something when you are monitoring through headphones A that are set to "stereo mix 5" or any other stereo mix.

I'm stumped. Make sure you are using the latest drivers:
http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/e...nload/en375655
I'd install the unit on another computer and see if the DSP still does not function. If not, I'd return it or contact Avid. Can you give some system details? Also what effect are you trying to use?

Thumbs down Re: MBox3 Pro dsp effects

Well..just got off the phone with Avid...they don't know either...weird...he did mention it might be a Mountain Lion issue? I'm grabbing an older version of the OS I have as a spare and am going to try it with that to see if it works...if not...back to Avid support...thanks for your help....

Ok. Let us know what happens, as this might be useful info for mbox pro users interested in upgrading to Mountain Lion.
