This issue can be fixed by taking a few precautions. Aiming to the left named mbox 2 micro driver.
MBOX 2 PRO PROBLEMS PRO
I use mbox 3rd gen, mini and pro also for the windows win7 xsio win8 default device and never asio mbox 2 the problem. All postings and use of the content on this site are subject to. Once I put the wall circuit computer and monitor and the amp on the UPS too the noise went away. tip of the day know this, aiming to optimally configure the system. depending on what version of audition you have.1.5 is a no no.2.0 is the one i've got my MBOX2 to work with.sound forge is one of my problems too.also sonar cakewalk 6 producer edition.thats about all i can tell you about the MBOX. This creates a ground loop and results in the high freq. My midi ports were also powered by the UPS. The bundled Pro Tools LE for M Box software is a tried and tested MIDI + Audio sequencing. Digidesign also insist, sensibly enough, that the M Box has a USB port to itself, and say that it cant be run from a USB hub. I had the problem initially on this box because my computer which powered the box was connected directly to the wall circuit while my audio was going through an amp w hich was powered by a UPS. A minimum of 128MB RAM is specified, and both QuickTime 5 and OMS 2.3.8 are required and supplied on the CD. The real issue with the mbox is a ground loop issue. If you ground the audio circuit you will decrease your audio performance. There is a reason why audio circuits are isolated from ground - it improves the signal to noise ratio. I saw a video on UTube advocating soldering a ground wire to the circuit board. It comes out the audio out ports and is a definite no-no on your audio tracks. There is an issue I have seen a lot on the internet which I also discovered - a high frequency noise when the box is activated. This is a great way to get into Pro Tools without spending a lot of $$.
