Unfortunately, Avid's ASIO drivers for all of their interfaces have real
problems. You might be able to get them to work with Sonar, but they haven't
been designed to support multicore processors. So, if you have a dual core,
quad core, etc processor, then you'll have issues. You can still get them to
work in Sonar by going in to the Options menu, selecting Audio Options, going
to the Advanced tab, and then unchecking the box that says use multicore
processing engine. If you uncheck that box, Sonar will run on a single
processor core. Your Avid interface will work just fine then, but, of course,
there will be an extremely limited amount of processing power available to
Sonar.
Don't expect Avid to fix this. They don't use ASIO for connecting their
interfaces to Pro Tools, and they aren't concerned with helping their
interfaces to run with DAWs made by other companies.

Subject: [ddots-l] Help with mbox2
Hi everyone I'm trying to use my mbox2 with Sonar, but I can't seem to get the
mbox to work as a recording device with iether Sonar, goldwave or Audacity. It
simpley isn't showing up as a recording device. I needed sighted help to
enstall it with its own version of pro-tools which by the way isn't accessible
for the blind. The people at the mbox website don't seem to have a clue about
making their software blind friendly. I don't actually need pro-tools, but
apparently the mbox does. Does anyone else have an mbox2, and if so could they
please tell me how to get the thing working. I was told an m-audio soundcard
is the best thing for recording music with Sonar, podcasting and other audio
work I have in the works, but so far I can't get anything to work with it, and
the m-audio people are no help. Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks
from Lori Duncan.
