I just got the Macbook pro 15,4", 2,0 with mac os 10.6.8 and I want to use my Mbox 2 with Logic (and not protools), but I'm not sure if there's compatibility betweens the coreaudio device download and my operating system. Does anyone have an answer?
// Erik W This is the only download I've found but I don't know if it's safe: http://avid.custkb.com/avid/app/selfservic...sp?DocId=362883 It sys that it's tested up to os 10.6.2. What do you think? |

As for now, we do not have a report it doesn't work… I have opened a compatibility thread of 10.6.8 but the only reports we have yet are on Apogee Symphony and some CUPS printers drivers that have issues (definitive for now).
Plus, Lion is looming, and the primary reports are great, though tested only on one configuration by a member (more on this tonight). So, it may be given the advantages in performance a good idea to jump to lion fast (once your peculiar interface has been tested that is…) Now, I don't think you risk anything by testing the driver in 10.6.8… As you don't have much choice and the OS is already there. If there's a problem, you can always find some means to downgrade but it'll be another issue. Test first, if it works: fine! If not, we'll see for the downgrade (which may not be possible if Apple changed bit unadvertised under the hood), or the jump to Lion as it's looming fast.

I tried to install some version before and my audiosystem (more specifically the coremidi) collapsed. So I had to reinstall my computer, 'couse it's really hard to uninstall these drivers. So I'm still looking for anyone who've tried the coreaudio driver with 10.6.8... |

Doesn't the installer do the uninstall job? Or is it dirty stuff?
