Mbox 2 Beta Firmware & Driver Update Kit v1.38

For PowerBook G4 Computer Users Only

  • With Pro Tools LE 7 or Pro Tools LE 6.8.1

For additional updated information on this issue, please see the following page:

From the Mbox 2 Firmware v1.38.pdf Read Me document, included with both downloads:

We have identified a problem with some aluminum Apple PowerBook G4 models. These laptops may not provide sufficient power from one or both of their built-in USB ports.

Digidesign is providing a beta firmware and driver update to help counteract these issues. Only users experiencing a lack or loss of communication with Mbox 2 and a PowerBook G4 should use this update. If you do not have a PowerBook G4, there is no need to update your Mbox 2 firmware with this version.

To update your Mbox 2 firmware and driver from a Macintosh:

  1. Quit all applications and connect your Mbox 2 to your computer.
  2. Download the file to the left named Mbox 2 Firmware Updater 1.38 for Mac OS X.
  3. Run the installer. This will install the updated drivers onto your computer, as well as place the Firmware Updater applica-tion on your desktop.
  4. Restart your computer. Note that the Mbox 2 LEDs will not light up. This is normal and expected.
  5. Go to Applications/System Preferences and launch the Mbox 2 Control Panel to verify that your Mbox 2 is connected. This may take up to 30 seconds.
  6. Launch the Firmware Updater that was placed on your desktop to update the Mbox 2 firmware.
  7. If you have multiple Mac intosh machines, you will need to update the drivers on all your Macintosh machines: Repeat steps 1–5 for each additional Macintosh. You can skip step 6 because you only need to update the firmware once.

Macintosh users that update to this firmware will not have their Mbox 2 recognized on a Windows-based PC unless they also update the Mbox 2 drivers on that Windows machine.

To do this, proceed to the following steps. Note that you only need to do the following if you have updated your Mbox 2 firmware as above, and want to use your Mbox 2 on both a Macintosh and a Windows computer.

To update your Mbox 2 drivers on a Windows PC:

  1. Download the file to the left named Mbox 2 Firmware Updater 1.38 for Windows XP.
  2. Run the installer (Mbox 2 Firmware Updater Setup.exe). This will install the updated drivers onto your computer, as well as place the Firmware Updater applica-tion on your desktop. Note you will not need the Mbox 2 Firmware updater if you have updated your Mbox 2 firmware previously on your Macintosh (using the steps above).
  3. During installation, Windows will warn you of 'unsigned device drivers'. Please click-through these warnings to assure that the firmware update can complete uninterrupted.
  4. Restart your computer.

In all situations, please follow the Firmware Updater instructions closely to avoid damage to your Mbox 2.

For more information on this issue, please see Mbox 2 Compatibility Information with PowerBook G4

This same beta version of the Mbox 2 Firmware Update v1.38 is included on the Pro Tools LE 7.0 CD in the Additional FilesUnsupported Software folder.

Software

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.
