Seriously, if at all, I've heard nothing else but about problems from people
using MBox'es.
IMO it's overpriced and not well done and the drivers (no matter whether
you're using a Mac or PC) are crap. Let alone the fact that a device,
basically designed to be a more or less mobile solution, has no MIDI I/O.
Sure, the converters might sound nice, but that's about it.

If I was in the situation, I would try to get rid of it and get something
like that

instead.
M-Audio are known for proper drivers and their hardware quality has never
been questionable. There's a Firewire model to be released soon as well,
from what I know.

Oh yes, usually I don't like advices such as "forget about what you have and
buy something else", but in that case it might just save you from quite some
frustration.
