  • Final Cut Express 3.5 sees no audio from Mbox 2

    Posted by Shayne Weyker on July 30, 2007 at 3:42 am

    I’m working with a 1Ghz dual CPU G4 that has FCE 3.5 and an Mbox 2 audio interface, connected to a powered USB hub. I don’t have the option of connecting the MBox 2 directly. The audio is coming tot he Mbox from a mixer board in the next room via spdif or XLR (can’t recall which)

    I’d like to use the FCE voice-over feature, but FCE see no signal coming out of the Mbox 2. The funny thing is that
    1) FCE lists the Mbox 2 on the list of sources you can select
    2) Pro Tools LE sees the signal just fine on the same machine.

    The simple obvious solution is to use PT LE, but I’m trying to make the workflow as easy as possible even though PT is the better tool.

    As far as I can tell this G4 has no analog audio input.

    How might I most simply and cheaply fix this problem?

    Some people have suggested looking for new drivers for the Mbox 2 but I haven’t been able to find any.

    Did you look at the audio input selections in System Preferences?

    All the best,

    Audio input is set to Mbox 2.
