Default White Noise in headphones but not speakers? Help please.

Mac Mini OS X Mountain Lion, 10.8, i7 Quadcore 2.66ghz, 8gb RAM. PT 10 (latest version), Mbox Pro 3 (latest drivers)


So there are definitely alot of changes in the PT 10 app. SUch as Channel for the input/out, headphone, mic, ect settings for the mbox.

I believe I figured it out, roughly... I can hear on both sides of heaphones, mic picks up voice, speakers work, both PT and when PT is down.

However, when doing a test to record... Program operates as it should, mic is heard in the headphones... but PT is not picking up in the recording session and I cannot figure out why.

There is also, in the headphones alone as plugged into the via the mbox, white noise.... I have never fallen into a white noise problem such as this.


Can someone help me, please.

So you can monitor audio but not record it ?
Have you selected the correct input channel on the audio track you are recording to ?

I think this is a know issue/problem with some units. Is there white noise in both of the headphone outputs ?
I would take the Mbox Pro back to the store where you bought it or to an authorized dealer if you can.

I mean it JUST came in the mail, set everything up, ect.


Would an authorized dealer exchange the hardware out? such as a guitar center?

I'm not even sure the damn thing came with a receipt other than the purchase proof I have from Ebay. But thats online.

The hardware is registered, activated, ect.

Also, yes it will monitor .... but it iwll not record.

And I thought i've been putting my input in correctly. Maybe I am doing this in the wrong area? Where do I place the input??
