If you are trying PTLE 6.x, then there may be other requirements. My reply is true if you are using Pro Tools LE 8. 32 bit version of Win7 works, but is not guaranteed. Reinstall with a 32 bit operating system. Digidesign has not made 64 bit drivers yet. If it is the 64 bit version of Windows 7, then it will not work. I also know he's never updated the MBox 2's firmware, but I don't know if that's an issue. This applies to the Command 8, Mbox, Control 24, and D2/D3 plug-ins If you. Please note while these are called Focusrite D2/D3 they are different to Focusrites own Red Plug-In Suite.
Where would I download MBox 2 drivers? It seems like everything should work just fine if the PC could just recognize the device. Focusrite does not provide support for the following Avid/Digidesign products: Avids contact details can be found via the support section of their website here. This should be a simple thing to download off digidesign's website, but I can't find anything for the life of me. We then upgraded his laptop to Windows 7.īasically, he gets a little bit into the installation procedure, and it fails because it can't find drivers for his MBox 2. So he got a version (I think off Craigslist), which is PTLE 8. He couldn't get his version of Pro Tools (6.something, I think) to work. So, I helped him get a new laptop, originally running Vista.
He had it working OK with a PowerMac, but eventually the thing just died. My friend bought a used MBox 2 a couple years ago off craigslist. I apologize if this is a dumb question, but after much searching, I've come up with nothing.
