Mbox - possible driver problem (1 Viewer)

[Stereobaby]

Alright.

Having a problem with me mbox and laptop. Been using the mbox for a while now with Reason without any problems. However I was trying to record vocals in Cubase to put through Recycle but my laptop doesnt seem to recognise the mbox as a recording device. Play back through the mbox is grand as I've been getting playback no worries with Reason but I cant seem to set it as a default recording device or even just a recording device.

Could it be a driver problem? I had already downloaded and installed the asio drivers 7.0 (i think) which is the standalone driver but it doesnt work. Should I maybe try and re-install the drivers on the cd I got with the mbox.

Wrecking me buzz

Any help would be deadly.

Cheers,

AFAIK it's not a driver problem, you just can't use an mbox to record audio with anything except pro-tools

Don't know what the problem is, but you can definitely use the MBox to record with Cubase etc.

Uninstall the drivers. Disconnect the mbox. Reboot without it. Then shut down and reconnect the mbox and re-install the drivers.

It's a pain, but it should work.

Although, I'm pretty sure there's an easier way.

Cheers men.

Will give that a go when I get home.

Goff is this shit a common problem or something? What is the story with it?

Would it be better to install the drivers from the disk or the standalone ones from the website?

I'd always go for the latest drivers available but that can cause all sorts of shite. Especially when they're new. I'd say start from the CD but the, when you know the thing is working, try it with the latest ones from the website.

Or, if you're happy with the drivers as they are, don't touch. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it," applies here. The main thing is to have a stable system.

Now, take my tips with a pinch of salt. My only experience of mbox is on a mac with a friend. The advice I offered was based on years of messing with sound cards and graphics cards and all sorts of rubbish on pc systems.

Currently using an emu 1820m. Never had a driver problem with that. And I have a creative labs audigy something or other installed as well.

This is FUCKING CRITICAL.

Yeah. Reiterate that. Get it working. Then leave well alone.

Ignore most of the other post of mine. Except the "how to" bit. (if that helps).
