However you need to upgrade its internal firmware once before use.
Firmware update from Avid [a]http://akmedia.digidesign.com/support/compressed/MboxFirmware22_33860.dmg | here[/a], also mirrored on ZamAudio [a]http://www.zamaudio.com/mbox2/MboxFirmware22_33860.dmg | here[/a].
The firmware update can only be applied from a Mac computer.
However, once firmware update is applied, it works with any Linux kernel >= 4.0

To inspect your current firmware version:
[code]sudo lsusb -vv -d 0dba:1000 |grep bcdDevice |awk '{print $2}'[/code]
Anything less than 0.22 needs an update to 0.22
