Digidesign Mbox 2 Mini Driver Mac High Sierra
Digidesign Hardware Supplied with System
- Mbox 2
- USB Cable (12')
Digidesign Software Compatibility
I bought a second hand mbox 2 6-7 months ago. When i installed the windows drivers, it always made my computer crash. However, when i used it with my ubuntu partition, it was plug-n-play. From my understanding the unix/linux kernel already has the drivers, so logically it should be plug and play for you as well, unless something changed.

For information on installing and configuring the standalone version of the Mbox 2 Mini CoreAudio Driver, see the CoreAudio Drivers Guide.

Maximum Performance Guidelines
- Recording to the system startup drive is not recommended or supported
- Although limited recording and playback of audio tracks may be possible using the internal drive, a separate external dedicated audio hard drive is highly recommended for maximum performance and track count. Digidesign recommends the use of FireWire drives for use with these computers.
- Mbox 2 hardware will not function properly if connected to a passive USB hub (such as an external unpowered hub, or USB port on a keyboard). If you need to use a hub for other USB peripherals, use a powered hub or a separate dedicated USB port for Mbox 2 hardware to function properly.
Energy Saver Settings
Pro Tools Does Not Support Sleep Mode
In the Macintosh System Preferences, launch Energy Saver, click the Sleep tab, and disable all Sleep features. Set 'Put the computer to sleep when it is inactive' to Never. Do not manually put your computer to sleep when running Pro Tools.
New Session File Format ('.ptf')
Pro Tools 7.0 and higher uses a new session file format and extension (.ptf) to distinguish its sessions from sessions created with previous versions. Pro Tools 7 sessions need to be saved as an earlier format to be used with pre-7.0 Pro Tools systems. For more information, see the following:
