Helping who is using a Digidesign Mbox 2 Mini Audio Interface

Hi guys!

I got a lot of help from people reading the forums, but couldn’t find a solution for my interface. I couldn’t find any forum with a tutorial for a solution, so I decided to create this one to help people with the same problem I had.

I’m using Windows 11 and a Digidesign Mbox 2 Mini Audio Interface.

The latest Digidesign Mbox 2 Mini Audio Interface driver only works with 41 kHz, and Rocksmith doesn’t recognize it. You can’t change that using ASIO4ALL with Rocksmith.

So the solution I found was to open a DAW (Reaper) and change the sample rate to 48 kHz (I use 24-bit) with ASIO4ALL there. After I close the project in the DAW, Windows 11 keeps the 48 kHz input working on the system. After that, I installed the NoCableLauncher and RS_ASIO.

Here are the configurations that worked for me:
