A question I get a lot is how to use your Mbox for sound outside of ProTools (to play music on iTunes, on the internet, etc). I too was confused because I assumed it would work universally with applications installed on my computer. I own a Mbox 2 running on Windows XP and for that to work you must download the DigiMMEHelper.

Download DigiMMEHelper.zip

Installation Instructions:

  1. Extract the contents of the .zip file
  2. Install the Setup.exe
  3. Run the “Digi MME Helper”
  4. Add more programs to the list that will work with it (if not already present).
  5. Click update
  6. Enjoy
