Hi..

I have installed leopard (10.5.2 Kalyway) on my pc (ASUS P5W DH Deluxe Digital Home Series) and gotten just about everything working(thanks to this forum - thanks smile.gif. The only problem i have is that the computer doesn't detect my Behringer FCA202 firewire audio interface - the only audio unit avaible is HD Audio.. The Light is on - and im and everything - but i doesn't detect anything.. Anyone know what i can do?

I have that card working perfectly on my Kalyway Leopard install (10.5.2). I thought I had no problems with the card out of the box (it uses core audio, no drivers needed) HOWEVER after a while the audio went all crackly and awful. After looking around it seems to be a common problem with AppleFWAudio.kext (even on legit macs). I found an older version of that kext and everything seems to be ok now.

Try this version of the kext here . Install with kext helper or whatever.

hi - did you resolve your 'firewire ports cannot be detected' issue? If so, how?

Hey thanks Lolrus for the link. Once I installed kext ---firewire worked fine via my Phonic Helix Firewire mixer. rolleyes.gif

Now I can see all 16 input channels in Digital Performer 6.1
That's right, DP6.1 running pretty smooth on my Hackintosh. angel.png
