edky Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 my powercore is being really stubborn and its not working on my hackintosh. tested in windows and it works! I keep getting an error E000011f. no one seems to have a clue to what this is. im thinking its maybe because of my sound card but I told TC about my issue and they couldnt figure it out! Im thinking their must be something and I think it might have to do with messing with extensions? anyone have a clue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tronax Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 FYI, my powercore PCI (the original) is working on 10.5.2, using the latest drivers from their website... no problems at all. (I know you said firewire.... just posting for anybody out there who wants to know about the PCI TC card) Now, if only I could get my MOTU PCI-424 card to work. I *KNEW* I should have gotten the firewire stuff instead... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mainboard is Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3P and my CPU is a Core2Duo 8400. I've tried with the onboard TI Firewire controller and a PCI Via 6306 based PCI Controller.

Speedstep and hacked kernels are not an option if you plan working with audio apps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cebit Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Are you running vanilla?Speedstep and hacked kernels are not an option if you plan working with audio apps. Yeah, I am running Vanilla and no injectors @ all, 10.5.4. The solution is to replase IOFirewireFamily.kext and IOFirewireAVC.kext with the ones from 10.4.8/9. Glad to be running Logic/Poco/Virus finally on OSX ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firechild Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 The solution to replace IOFirewireFamily.kext with 10.4.9 version will indeed make the powercore up and running but the side-effect is that your external FW disks will not be seen any longer... Is there anyone outthere with a better solution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard of issues with the Virus plug-in under XP also... :censored2: I haven't got the plug-in yet, I'll try out the demo first to see if it actually works under OSX ok... What are the main issues you have come across under OSX? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cebit Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Loss of sync, no Multi-Out in Logic, Unable to <<Freeze>> in Logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeHunt79 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Loss of sync, no Multi-Out in Logic, Unable to <<Freeze>> in Logic. Loss of sync would be the main problem for me really, I don't need to freeze as the poco does the processing anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firechild Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I am using the powercore Virus in Logic on a hack and never loose sync...but the sync is 10 ms late all the time...so to have it tight you have to bounce the track and move the audiofile slightly. it is only when you use "arpeggiator" sounds of course. Normal playable sounds you can just backdelay the MIDI parameter, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firechild Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 neco_12, replace the IOFireWireFamily.kext with the one from a 10.4.9 installer DVD, and then it will work. I had a side effect though, external firewire harddiscs won´t show up, but not everyone will get this issue, but for me the Powercore worked great with this fix.

hg2007 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Not on about the firewire here but my element works with latest 3.2 drivers better than xp infact The only thing is does anyone know whether the optional request plugins for the mk1 cards (not the licence for the second gen cards) are intel compatible?
