It works better if you do a vanilla install......

I tried the kx driver on windows xp and OSX, firmware is not uploading (error mesage)
card is detected but no sound coming out whatever output is chosen.

FPGA is already programmed, but I still got no sound ! If I do a reset with edspctrl, the firmware is unable to upload again, I'm stuck.

It works better if you do a vanilla install......

Vanilla install? It is a kernel? Oh, sorry...I understand (Google rulez)...So the solution is this, a fresh install without custom options?

[elokito]

works on my audigy 2zs, what a good day it is!

[AppleIIGuy]

I had the same problem as you but when I did a retail install on my computer I then was able to set up 5.1 sound in the midi manager

[pitap]

without something that draws his attention with interest). Yep, perhaps at times $ does make some effect but... me and alone? not happening

If $$$ is indeed the "point of interest" I wouldn't mind contribute a bit, but it would have to be a confirmed case though... by him saying "thats right! show me the monay!"

[Oxtie]

If $$ is indeed the "point of interest" I wouldn't mind contribute a bit, but it would have to be a confirmed case though... by him saying "thats right! show me the monay!"

hehe, and what makes you think he'll do that? he didn't release the driver for such reasons and I just want him to get further interested in OSX (which seems to be lost since long... as we all see it). Maybe its personal life thing but I'm trying to make it $$ thing  so that it at least shows some "alternate" way of appreciation... but this under no circumstance will be "hey, thats it! you pressed right $ button" from E... LOL

If you have any better idea then this (to get his mind back on OSX) Please.... share with us

Hi....

I was using kX Drivers on win xp.
i had to clear the default DSP to have all outputs.

I have an audigy 1 (10k2).
I got sound now but only front. no others.
didn't test line in yet.

VirtualDJ sees the card but got no prefade.....

any appl plays stereo, no more.
all set in MIDI (5.1, 48000hz...)
it's a no go.

Plz tell me how to activate the other speakers.

I have to add, that onboard i got an ALC883 6 Out (ll playing in VDJ)
but no 5.1 at all in itunes or other !

all out working separately (sound test)

Running iDeneb v4 10.5.6 updated to 10.5.7
Vanilla kernel

WILL SOMEBODY MAKE A GUI OF THE DSP SETUP ? (like in XP)

[Steven2k7]

Wow, I always heard that it wasnt possible to get the creative PCI sound cards to work because they were PCI. I just accidentally found this thread searching for something else and decided to give it a try. The download has worked perfectly so far. I installed it, tried out a song and it worked. Now I dont have to try and find a working HD audio .kext.

I think I have the creative audigy 2.

Thanks.

[E.C.H.O]

I have the following sound-cards
1. Realtek High Def. Audio MY mobo is DG31PR..so that makes my soundcard ALC888
2. Creative soundblaster Live Value 5.1...CT4832...


Now the funny part.....

I installed PROPER WORKING KEXTS TWICE, they worked only for the FIRST BOOT....the second time(from the time of install) when i boot in my sys..OS X, the drivers have just vansihed..the sound is back to silent mode.this is really killing me now...the sound kext i installed the second time is called:
'kXAudioDriver-1-3.2b1.dmg'


There is nothing even in the audio-midi properties, my cound card PCI CT4832 was read for the first boot, but the second boot, its just not there..why is this happening..why is the sys spiting out the kexts again and again...

I hope this helps...

[Oxtie]

this is strange... do you have "Extra" folder at the root of your leopard drive?
or
there is a nice program "kext helper" google it download it run it. Install kx as usual and copy the kxAudiodriver.kext in your desktop and drop it on kext helper window.... click easy install

This is a crazy idea since its a crazy problem hehe

[Adolpho Dias]

I just say 5 Great Stars !!! Works on my Audigy2 Platinum. Keep going with this great job.

[Mac R Oni]

Okay first of all thanks for your drivers, I actually have sound after installing these with my Audigy Z2. Although after a few hours I get a kernel panic at random when hearing music through iTunes or YouTube.
My specs are Asus P5W-DH-Deluxe, Core2Duo @2.4GHz, 4GB Ram, NVidia GTX 260 and Soundblaster Audigy running iPC 10.5.7.
And this is the (almost clear readable) screenshot of the kernel panic:

Can you suggest anything I could try?

Oxite, is this a reply to me....im far beyond these problems...my sound works but only for once, when i complete the install and reboot..thats it, after that the kxaudio is very much in the S>L>Ext folder, BUT IS OF NO USE...as the sound card isnt available anymore in the sound>sys preferences...
Also, my onboard audio card is disabled..even then this damn thing wont work....im really at the end of my wits...im gonna do a clean install now....**** EVERYTHING!

That screenshot does not point kX audio driver  Does it happen when you play any kind of audio elsewhere? In other words, you get kernel panic when you try to play on iTunes & YouTube (on safari) ONLY? Have you tried other players? VLC? XBMC??? QuickTime????

EDIT: IO Audio Family kext is visible on screenshot... (crazy idea@your risk, move that file out and check again). Also you may want to read the first post with "General checks"

You mentioned your driver got "vanished" which is crazy  I tried to address that part... 

Besides, I'm not on 10.5.7 so, didn't test and can't say much about it...

But you can check what all extensions are loaded, click apple button > about > more info (system profiler) on the left side, click "Extensions" and on the right side, see if kxaudiodriver.kext is loaded or not....

Have you checked the first Page (post 1) with general checks?

[Mac R Oni]

thanks for the reply, yes I have tried single VLC or iTunes.. not Safari though.
Moving out the IOAudioFamily.kext muted my audio, so I think it's depended on audio somehow.
As for the general checks, drivers work in Windows.

I would like you to report this to Eugene's bug report but lately, there has been no response from him on OSX side...


Because not many people reported kernel panic like this since ages, I'm guessing this to be "distro" specific issue (if not on-board audio conflict). Got lot of unusual before from iDeneb users (are you on iDeneb?). So, lets understand this again,  your system audio plays right since you mentioned "mute", I'm guessing somethings work, while VLC iTunes don't.

I'm on iPC, and yea I have sound, but I got kernel panics from time to time when sound was on. But right now after reinstalling everything I haven't had a kernel panic since.
So wish me luck that it's stable now
