The ASIO driver will work in any software that supports ASIO, as well as the default Windows Audio device.  Make sure this driver is chosen.<\/p>\n<p>However, in earlier version of Pro Tools, there is no ASIO driver like this.  Additionally, the Digidesign Wavedriver is proprietary; that is, it only supports the Pro Tools software.  This can be a problem, especially if you want to hear audio from, say, the internet, or a CD\/DVD, or an application for mp3 playback, through your hardware.  This is especially problematic for common application, such as:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Windows Media Player (WMP)<br \/>&#8211; iTunes and QuickTime<br \/>&#8211; WinAmp<br \/>&#8211; RealPlayer<br \/>&#8211; Internet browsers (Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox, and the like)<\/p>\n<p>The solution is a utility called the MMe Helper.  It allows the software in question to connect to the Digidesign Wavedriver by createing a bridge between the two that runs in the background.  <\/p>\n<p>For information on how to get the MMe Helper, see Knowledgebase article #29186.  For instructions on how to use it, see KB #29187.  If it&#8217;s still not working, see KB #29802.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[1],"tags":[33883,34125],"storecat":[],"itemids":[20944,20948,25447,25448],"manufacturers":[33300],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Check out the My MBox and\/or 002 works fine in Pro Tools, but I can&#039;t hear any sound from other applications on my PC.
