Default Mbox Pro 3 not working with MacOS Sierra

Upgraded to the new MacOS Sierra and can't get the Mbox to work. Anyone figure it out or know if a new driver will be released?

Never mind. Unplugged and replugged the firewire cable then restarted the Mbox and it recognized it.

Mbox pro 3 not working. If i switch it on the computer shuts down immediately. If i try to startup with Mbox on the computer displays lines of code and then freezes. What's going on?

I've spent the whole day backing up my files and reinstalling El Capitan.

I had the same situation yesterday, my mbox3 didn't work after I unplugged and replugged the USB cable. Many thanks for the answer.

With every macOS update comes Mbox incompatibility.
If it's like the last few years, it will be mid-December earliest before we get compatible drivers.
It's best to roll back to El Capitan if you want to use your device in the next 3-4 months.

This "windows mindset" that drives AVID on is driving me crazy. I've already dropped Pro Tools after using it for almost 2 decades. Now their hardware always give me a hard time. Logic Pro X works on interfaces bought at the corner's grocery store but with AVID's. It really sucks.

Same thing is happening to me. Just upgraded to Sierra and PT 12.6.1. As soon as I connected my MBox pro 3 it crashed and kept restarting in panic mode or something with code all over the screen. I downloaded the new drivers too and still same result. I just opened a case with AVID. Hopefully will have some resolution I can share....

What bothers me most about this particular case is that the OS update to El Capitan 10.11.6 was SO minor.

It is very discouraging when Avid doesn't even support its own interface.

I would bet they were working on 10.12 qualifications by that time...

I would hazard a guess that 12.6.1 is around the corner and once it qualifies officially the OS, the hardware boxes will begin to get attention.

I am waiting on the eleven rack editor myself.....

Oh my god, i can't believe it. I was so dumb at updating it early, I didn't expect this and now I got tons of work to do and clients to respond. Totally bummer

Seems like we all will have to wait for a driver update isn't it?
