Pro Tools LE8 No Input Signal?

[RyanChappell1987]

Hi Guys i'm using Pro Tools LE8 8.05 on a Macbook Pro OSX 10.6.8.

I am simply trying to record a single condenser microphone through a Mbox 2 Mini.

I have phantom power on. I have it plugged into input 1. Input 1 is selected on a audio channel. Arm record is enable both on the track and on the transport.

I can hear the signal, i.e. I can hear click, claps talking through the monitors and headphones, but nothing is coming through on the Pro Tools meters.

Any ideas?

I also have tried a line level input on both inputs and nothing.

I have never had a problem before.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

Have you verified that the MBox is selected in the Playback engine?

Have you tried to default inputs and outputs in the I/O Setup?

Hi yeah I have tried both of those and still nothing, its very odd.

Done any updates to PT or the OS lately? Not too familiar with the MBox family, but it might help to install the latest compatible driver.

Does this happen in one particular session, or in all sessions?

[RyanChappell1987]

I have updated both Pro Tools and the Mbox drivers, it still didn't work.

Try Deleting Databases and Preferences.

I didn't catch this earlier, but you say you hear audio? Are you hearing it through PT?

and, are you attempting to record to an AUDIO track( and NOT an Instrument track)?

[RyanChappell1987]

PT lover yes I can hear audio I.e. I can hear myself testing the microphone, via headphones plugged in to the Mbox.

I am trying to record to a audio track not a instrument track.

Just deleted the databases and preferences. Still no luck.

I also cannot get it to work with Logic Express 8. If that makes any difference?
