The kX driver? If so yes it continues to work as it always has flawlessly for me.

Sorry to jump in here but I just found this card in an old box that I have so I thought I'd look into it.  I read the first post I promise   I have sound working on my SL install through kext hacks and very gracious users but every time I upgrade to 10.6.x (x being latest version) I have to go back through and install the kexts because they're overwritten.  Not a big deal but I'd prefer to be able to just update.  This LONG post short.....if I install the kx drivers and this card do you have to reinstall every time you upgrade the system or does it use entirely different kext's?  Thanks in advance!

It is its own self contained .kext it will continue to work upon system upgrade or has up to this point can't predict for future updates but has worked until this point flawlessly...

I have an old SB0090.  Its the Audigy SB1394 and its suppose to have EMU chip and for some reason KXaudio driver doesn't work.

10.6.7
BloodRage X58
i7 920

It has the Sonar X-fi which is ALC889, but I disabled it and still it doesn't work.  Should I remove ALC8xx universal kexts and try again?

If you have another pci slot try moving it into that, my cards (one identical to yours) only work when they are in the pci slot farthest from the CPU.

[thirdshiftdj]

My board only has one PCI slot.  I installed 1.11b and booted w/ -v and it loaded the driver and saw my card.  Then it KP'ed when I opened Ableton.  I did another reboot and this time it doesn't see the card again.

Odd, I think I'm getting the rear 2 channels when I have a 5.1 source. I don't have any problems when listening to anything in stereo. My 2.0 speakers are definitely hooked up to the correct output. I've tried the other outputs as well, but they didn't give me any sound at all. Any ideas?

I would go to the Audio/Midi Setup in the Utilities folder to make sure that it is set to Stereo when you check in the Configure Speakers screen while you are there may as well test the speakers.

I was about to crawl under a rock because I remember messing around in there a couple of months ago. I double checked, my speakers are configured properly in stereo with the front left and right giving me the correct test static sounds.

Only idea I have left is checking the program you are using to play back the files to see if it has an audio output selection in it that may be trying to use the 5.1 on its own.

This happens in both Quicktime and VLC, so I think it's a global problem.

Problem: Flash Video Slows and pauses when I use my Creative Audigy Platinum.
I switch to my M-Audio (Mac Compatible) It's fine

Glad to know that the driver will still work under Lion. I am fearfully counting down for the day when the driver would  no longer work. :S

[Oxtie]

I see no end to this driver unless iOS lands as main OS on macs (which is the point where apple sales will drop so) i doubt if it can ever happen.

By adding x64 Eugene solved many future problems...


@Morfy: added you workaround on page1

[AppleIIGuy]

It also works under Lion Dp5.... FYI
