M-Box questions

[NFGPaul]

I just picked up the M-box and have connected it to my computer. I was wondering if there is any way to get the audio to play through my computer speakers? If not I'm guessing I have to go out and buy some stereo equipment? Anyone know another way around this, I'm kind of low on extra cash right now.
Oh and if anyone knows some good sites on how to get started with pro-tools and the m-box that would be cool too. Thanks.

hmmmmm, why don't you plug your computer speakers into the M-Box's output?

Your computer speaker is connected to your onboard or PCI sound card, so like gordone said plug the speakers in the M-Box headphone out or main out or where ever possible using a 1/8 to 1/4 (hopefully) adapter. Dont even try to mix with those speakers, you will end up with a muddy mix for sure. If you are short in Budget atleast use the headphone rather than PC speakers.

You are not going to like it, but you really need some other boxes than just your PC speakers. If you really lack the money, try mixing on headphones, but also that won't give you great results...
