Hey there hb13861,
Q: Can I use my Apple Mac Mini with Avid Pro Tools HDX using a Thunderbolt expansion card chassis? We have had excellent results running both Pro Tools HDX cards and Pro Tools HD Native cards in PCIe-to-Thunderbolt expansion chassis, such as those from Sonnet Technologies and Magma.We have used them with Macbook Pro laptops, Mac Minis, and iMacs with no problems. . Please see Avid's website for a list of Avid-qualified Mac and PC systems.iPad (4th generation) or later and iPad mini or later require a Lightning to 30-pin Adapter (sold separately). Supported audio applications may have higher minimum system requirements.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. I understand you’re having issues using your Digidesign Mbox 2 Mini with your MacBook Pro. I’ll be happy to help.
If the light to your device isn’t coming on when you connect them, go through the steps in this link:
See if this occurs in safe boot or a new user account to isolate and possibly resolve this issue:

Also, does other audio work on your Mac without issue? If so, and other devices work over USB, then you’ll want to reach out to the manufacturer of the device you’re attempting to use and let them know what’s happening. They may have some steps that can help.
Cheers.
