Can\'t playback session without using MBOX
Hey I was just wondering if there is anyway I can use my computer speakers for playback on Pro Tools instead of having to unplug them and plug them into my mbox or hook up a seperate pair of speakers on the mbox. Thanks

Re: Can\'t playback session without using MBOX
No. You must have digidesign hardware connected to use protools.

Re: Can\'t playback session without using MBOX
You can, however, set windows to use the mBox as it's playback device, thus eliminating the need for switching cables.

Re: Can\'t playback session without using MBOX
How do you set it to be your default playback, and what drivers/programs are needed?

Re: Can\'t playback session without using MBOX
The procedure for setting it up is covered in Appendix C of the Getting Started with MBox guide. (You didn't say which version of the software you are using, or I would tell you exactly what page.)
If, for some reason, you don't have a getting started guide, they are available HERE online.

Re: Can\'t playback session without using MBOX
Try Digi MME Helper, by Rail, another poster in this forum. It should make using other apps (like WMA) with Mbox very easy.
