Digidesign Mbox 1 (Classic) Sound Driver

[Qjimbo]

Hi,

I have a Digidesign Mbox 1 which I currently use it on Windows with the Ploytec driver, which is an alternative to the official Digidesign driver. I want to switch to Ubuntu Studio, however I can't find any mention of a Linux driver for this device anywhere. There is some mention in the comments on a blog here: http://www.zamaudio.com/?p=97 (thanks Persia) but I couldn't find anything else. The kernal patch the guy mentions is for the Mbox 2, not Mbox 1.

Has anyone had any luck with this piece of audio hardware and ubuntu?

Thanks

Hi, same problem/issue. Any help, data, info, answer?
Is there any way to get working Mbox1 Classic in Ubuntu/UbuntuStudio?
Thanks!

I would sell them, unless Pro-Tools is really needed, but I don't even know AVIDs resale policy! There are several good usb, firewire, and pci
options for linux studios, that require minimal configurations, so there is life after mbox
