Mbox Pro Driver

The Avid Mbox Pro driver enables Windows to communicate with your audio interface, making its recording inputs and playback outputs available to compatible audio software. Installing the appropriate driver helps your computer recognize the hardware and gives your recording application access to the interface’s audio settings.

Key Features

• Audio input and output access: Connects the Mbox Pro’s recording and playback channels to supported Windows audio applications.
• ASIO support: Allows compatible digital audio workstations to use the interface for low-latency recording and monitoring, with performance depending on buffer settings and system configuration.
• Driver control panel: Provides access to settings such as sample rate and buffer size, depending on the driver version and connected hardware.
• Application integration: Supports communication between the interface and compatible recording, editing, and mixing software, including Pro Tools versions that support your setup.

How to Install

1. Confirm your hardware and Windows version. Check that the download is specifically for the Avid Mbox Pro, rather than another Mbox model. For Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7, review the driver’s compatibility notes before proceeding; one package may not support every listed operating system.
2. Prepare the computer. Close your audio applications. If you are replacing an older driver, follow the package instructions for removing it, and restart if requested.
3. Run the installer. Download the matching driver package, extract it if necessary, and launch the setup program with administrator permissions. Follow the prompts, including any instructions about when to connect the interface.
4. Connect and power on the Mbox Pro. Use a suitable FireWire connection and follow the hardware guide’s connection precautions. Restart Windows if the installer requires it, then confirm that the interface is recognized.
5. Configure your recording software. Select the Mbox Pro as the audio device or ASIO driver. Choose an appropriate sample rate and buffer size, then test an input and playback output before starting a session.
