Thanks a million. I was using my Mbox2 with Reaper on my old laptop and it worked fine. I then bought a new Dell laptop and try as I may I could not get it to recognize my Mbox. I actually had given up and continued to use my old laptop for weeks now. I came across your post today and hey presto!!! Thanks so much. Regards.
OMG! this is incredible! i've kept this thing for years, classified as electric waste long ago. finding your video was within the last nostalgic check before disposal. AND NOW IT'S BACK TO LIFE! thank you so much!!!
This is mindblowing🤔 I too had kept my Mbox-2,classified as waste years a go. I'm cleaning out now and like you, had a last nostalgic check before disposal, when I felt an urge to see if I could find a Win. 10 driver and voila 🎉 😄
Thank you kindly. I like to do my vocals remotely (like out in the woods) so I don't disturb anyone. Taking my Zoom L20 is a bit of a hassle. I found this in a drawer and it didn't work with Studio One. This driver fixed that. Much appreciated.
YOOOO, let's freaking go, got one of these for dirt cheap today and thought I got sold a defective product until I found this. Thank you, you absolute legend.
Gio you are a hero!!!! I've been wanting to upgrade my old W7 pc to W10 but I don't want to ditch my Mbox2 mini. Was thinking of buying a new Scarlet. Thanks for this!!!
Jan. 2025: I was just about to give up on the old box when I came across your video today. Followed the install instructions and BAM! - there she was again. (I actually laughed out loud when the green light came on 😀). Thank you sooo much!
OMG! just upgraded from Win 7 (yea) to Win 11 and spent an hour looking for drivers. THANK YOU A MILLION! I have a lot of work to do and being stuck on this was no bueno. thanks again.😊
I'm using windows 11 as well and when I download Scala's driver and install it. The system still doesn't recognise it. Could you elaborate on the steps you took to make it work on windows 11.
I'm happy to say that my Mbox2 that was sitting idle for over 17 years is now working for playing back music and using a mic. I have the CD disk for Pro Tools 7.0 and the registration along with the USB Ilok thumb drive. I remember when I installed the Pro Tools 7.0, you had to have a second physical hard drive. The Pro Tools will not install but that's ok. I get to blast my music through my pair of BX5a speakers.
I too had kept my Mbox-2,classified as waste years a go. I'm cleaning out now and had a last nostalgic check before disposal, when I felt an urge to see if I could find a Win. 10 driver and voila🎉 Thanks Gio🤝
Just to echo all of the other comments - you're a hero! I was about to drop some serious cash on a new interface after banging my head against a wall trying to get a driver to get the MBox Mini 2 to work. Thanks!
Dude, I want to hug you right now! I had just about given up searching for a driver on this thing. My Mbox2 Mini has life again! Thank you SO MUCH for posting. By the way, it's still **WORKING** in 2024 (I just downloaded today).
thank youuuu so so much ❤❤ i admit i was a bit suspicious of this at first but now i have no choice but to join the choir :D you saved me so much money and time!!!!! hope ur having a great day!!!
As of 03 Apr 2024, the Mbox 3 Pro interface is no longer compatible with Windows 10, and users are looking for a replacement. The Mbox 3 Pro was known for running well at lower buffer settings and was good for e drumming.1 However, it is no longer compatible with Windows 10, and no updates are coming. Some users have tried cleaning drivers, reinstalling, and changing out the firwire PCIE card, but the issue persists.0
hello bro, do you know how to install drivers for windows 10 or preferably windows 11 of mBox 3?? I need it because I can't buy another interface. thank you.
Thank you , Is obligatory to install PROTOOLS LE8 included with my MBOX2 first on my PC Windows 10 and later install your DRIVER ??? , what are the steps to follow ??
Hello. I have Pro Tools LE 8 , Mbox 2 pro. Tried your driver but did not work. I still have a blinking green light on the Mbox. And Pro Tools wont load because It can't locate the hardware. Can you help?
@giolascala7 the mbox is not being recognized by Pro Tools. It is plugged in Via old-time firewire. I read Windows 10 does not recognize firewire. Do you think it's firewire problem and not a driver problem?
That is very possible because in my case the computer was not recognizing or sending power to the MBOX at all (no green light at all) until after I installed my driver
Hey bud for some reason this isn't working for me at all. I have the mbox 2 and it's still not lighting up and computer not recognizing it. Do you happen to have any other leads that you could help me with?
I have Avid Mbox 3 and it was working for me very good and i am using windows 10 pro but suddenly the laptop stopped recognising it and i have the correct driver and i did many troubleshooting steps it didn’t fix the issue , Is there a way to fix this issue ?
Bro I recently pluged in my Mbox3 to my windows 10 pc but it just turns on help me out with a link what drivers i need to make it work on my windows please
after i download the driver do i have to go to any settings to open my pro tools...i did download the driver and it did read the interface...i do have windows 10....thank you
So I Installed the drivers and reset my PC but my mbox 2 mini still does not want to turn on and my windows settings says there is a driver error.... what should I do from here ?
looks like memory integrity blocked the drivers in the core isolation. Reloaded and same thing. I think it's a high security notification because the interface is older @@giolascala7
I just got a brand new PC and did find some driver for the mbox2 mini but I have gotten some blue screen crashes and it must be because of the driver. I am going to try the one you provided in case it's different and crossing my fingers that it won't keep crashing because everything is new. just for reference, the driver I had found was named Mbox_2_USB_Family_v90265_Drivers_70922 - perhaps different than what you provide here. I had been using it just fine on my previous computer for a few years and had upgraded to 11. By the way, one thing that I kept having to do in my previous built was that videos would stop playing and I would have to go into SERVICES and had to re-start Windows Audio. I hope that's no longer an issue. Thanks.
@@giolascala7 well, I had another blue screen pop up already. I'm going to have to remove it completely and see if that's the issue. :( not too happy with this new PC I ordered. should have just built my own as usual.
i have a problem asus rog win 10, when i install this driver and restart, my laptop goes to blue screen of death. system goes down, must go to restore system. do you have a solution for my situation? mbox2 mini tnx
Big thanks for you man ...amazing this driver working in windows 10...but i am any question this driver working record audio to DAW? What a protools version or Studio one version ? ,
Hey, I just bought an Mbox2 and I wanna thank you for sharing this. Is there any additional software program that I need to download in order for it to work? Or do I just connect the mics and go?
Thank you, mine is now working, but windows 11 is crashing after 1 or 2 minutes since i install it. is working fine for everyone but maybe I had a conflict with the other audio interface, The M-Audio Track Plus. Any ideas to resolve a conflict?
So I have the mbox 2 pro and I used ur link and everything and it was working but I can’t hear the playback and I’m using pro tools ultimate how do I fix that?
Try clicking the little buttons on the actual interface. Also check the mixing knob to make sure it will allow for playback through your output cable. If those don’t work, maybe your output settings are not outputting to the correct device in Pro Tools. Hope that helps
holy shit it works
HELL YEAH!
I need a link
In the description bro!
Bro I need help
Mine is still not working, after all that
I bought an Mbox2 in 2016 off of eBay, and never got it to work. ...until today.

Hmm no man sorry! That didn’t happen for me. Try deleting the files and redownloading?

Is there a drive for mac? I have m box 2. The driver says no. Is it possible to use this card in 2022 ?

@@giolascala7 yea buttons are working and I switched the playback engine to the mbox2 idk why it’s not working

The usb ligts up atleast but I cant seem to get my mic/mics working on it😳
Strange, it worked for a lot of us!
Hi... Do you have a solution for Mac Monterrey?
Unfortunately no sorry
is this audio interface good in 2022 for mixing??
Yeah I would say so. It’s kind of limited with inputs/outputs but the quality is still good
do you think the drivers could works with the MBOX 4x4?
I’m not sure but it’s worth a try!
Wow, great!! Thank you!
No problem!!
doesn't work on windows 11 (mbox 2 mini) does it work for someone?
It worked for someone else!
Do you have Mbox2 drivers for mac OS13.0? Thank you
No, sorry.
@@giolascala7 thank you
Do I need to have it unplugged to install the drivers or should it work if I keep it plugged in
It is best practice to leave it unplugged while installing the driver!
thank you for the driver, do you also know where to get some software to change the settings?
Unfortunately, all I’ve got is the driver, sorry man.
Olá, serve para o Windows 11 ?
Thank you very much. The Mbox lives!!!!
