I think you need an audio interface to use Pro Tools right?
I bought this:
"CM6206"
Description:
•USB Sound is an USB audio controller.It supports 32KBz,44.1khz.(which two need driver or application software support)and 48KHZ sampling rate in digital recording,48KHZ sampling in analog recordin and 48KHZ in digital/analog audio playback.
•In digital playback mode,it receives audio stream from PC via USB interface and transmits audio data according to the AES/EBU,IEC60958,S/PDIF consumer interface standards.Only R,L channel PCM audio in 5.1 channel can be conveyed in digital playback mode.In analog playback mode,it supports 6 channels codec for analog playback.
•In digital recording mode,it receives S/PDIF digital audio input and sends back to PC through USB.Three sampling rates;includes 32KHZ,44.1KHZ are automatically locked internally,in analog recording mode,fixed 48khz sampling rate is supported by analog audio recording

Is this
sufficient to run Pro Tools? I also bought an Mbox mini, but if I can use the first one listed I will return or sell the Mbox.
