In Windows, use a built-in utility called Device Manager, which allows you to see all of the devices recognized by your system, and the drivers associated with them. Once you have downloaded your new driver, you'll need to install it. Most major device manufacturers update their drivers regularly. To find the newest driver, you may need to visit the Avid website. It is a software utility which automatically finds and downloads the right driver. Tech Tip: If you are having trouble deciding which is the right driver, try the Avid Driver Update Utility. In the results, choose the best match for your PC and operating system. Enter Avid MBox 2 into the search box above and then submit.

If the driver listed is not the right version or operating system, search our driver archive for the correct version. After you complete your download, move on to Step 2. To get the MBox 2 driver, click the green download button above. There is definitely a way to get it to run though (because I’m still currently using the M2 as my audio interface).How to Update MBox 2 Device Drivers Quickly & Easily Step 1 - Download Your Driver I remember the error you’re mentioning, and getting very frustrated that it was losing connection during the updater. Jeeze, this is me remember 2 years back now and I wish I remembered more clearly what I had to do for you. Since the M2 takes a while to turn on, and sort of “boot up” i think i did something along those lines to give it time to be restart fully before continuing in the process. I want to say I did something odd like the SECOND the Mbox restarts I used the VirtualBox pause command to pause it, and then hopped in the VM’s settings and reminded the VM that the Mbox was connected. I want to say it’s something like the updater restarts the Mbox, and by restarting it, VirtualBox loses connection with it for a moment, and then the Mbox updater fails to continue the update process. Oh this sounds really familiar! I think i may have had to do something odd to get around it.
