Why isn't PT12 recognizing MBOX Mini?

[KierONeil]

This is the strangest thing.

Every other application plays music through the MBOX mini to my speakers. PT12 is the only application that doesn't seem to recognize that I have the audio interface attached. I have installed the drivers twice and still PT12 is not seeing it.

Any help is appreciated.

Step #1 would be to set the OS to NOT use the Mbox and see if PT will work then(and make sure the Mbox is the selected "audio engine" in Pro Tools>Setup>Hardware. If that makes PT work, there are a few ways of dealing with routing Windows sounds. What I would do; have the computer use the onboard sound card. Get a small(and cheap) mixer(Behringer, Alto) and feed outputs from the Mbox, and from the computer sound card to the mixer and feed the mixer outputs to your speakers

And just to state the hopefully obvious, you have to set Pro Tools to use the Mbox Mini as the playback engine in Setup>Playback Engine.

It is not clear what you mean by "not recognize". Does the interface show up as an option in the playback engine pull down menu? Does it not work if you select it? Do you get an error? What exactly happens?

What exact driver version is installed? On what exact OS version?

I've played around with this a little more and still no luck.

In order to give you as much info as possible I created a Word doc on my Public drive that gives all the details.

Take a look and see if you can give some guidance.

Do you have the Mbox 2 Mini (2nd generation)?

It's an MBOX Mini 3rd Gen, and thank you for the link.

IT WORKS!!!

I'm sure it was just me but that was wayyyy harder than it should have been.

Thanks
