hasischnurz Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Hello dear community, Gathering from searches here and elsewhere -- if I want to run an RME HDSP PCI Card (not PCIe) on a Hackintosh, my only option seems to be to run Snow Leopard in 32bit mode and install a 1.7 version of the RME driver which has been referred to as hdsp_173_x86.gz (obviously meaning version 1.73). It's no longer available from RME, but eventually, I did find it at this link: http://de.driverscol...c9a12ff9224f35a Obviously, there are (or were) quite some people who got their PCI based audio systems up and running with this in OS X Snow Leopard... - Any opinion, which 10.6 update works best? - Is there a chance that also 10.7 works for this? AFAIK, you can boot Lion into 32bit mode, too, so... anyone with a working system, who could confirm?Thanks for any input!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aphex6b Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Back in the 10.6. days, i had a PCI M-audio Audiophile 2496 card. OOTB (as almost all PCI devices) unsupported by osx, but i eventually found a custom third-party driver that worked great. Now with sound and OSX86 in general i always favor a non -on-board solution not only because of the sound quality but also to not having to mess around with AppleHDA after every OS update. With building a second OSX86 machine a couple of weeks ago, i found an old PCI Soundblaster card i had still laying around. Again i managed to found a THird Party Kext that works out great on OSX mountain Lion...This kext, is a couple of years old.... I have no idea if it's even x86_64 architecture...But it works (that machine has 4024mb ram)Maybe try the "Force 64bit" in chameleon perhaps, never used that, is it for custom kernels only? In my regular machine, i use a RME FIreface 400. On OSX 10.9, it's not working yet either... There are linux drivers available for the Hammerfall DSP cards right? So with a some luck must be possible to get it to work on 10.7-10.8 machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
