gabe_ Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 The wiki is down right now... But normally, I would tell you to check the Hardware Compatibility Lists at: http://wiki.osx86project.org/ In the meantime, use this thread as a starting point: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=85762 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throbulator Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 i will buy a usb or pci card, but i need to know what models work with leopard ??? Same here. Except my server only has once USB1.1 port, so I need PCI. Only ones I've heard of working without a hitch so far have been RME Hammerfall cards. Nice quality but more than I was going to spend.

mb21 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 @BugsBunny great list! thanks! Does anyone know which ones of those soundcards don't need powered speakers? Because the Griffin FireWave for example outputs only low-voltage, that means if I were to hook up normal (unpowered) speakers directly I wouldn't hear a thing, right?

mrgstiffler Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Just got my Creative X-Fi 5.1 USB from Amazon. Plugged it in and it came right up and works great. The biggest problem that I have is I cannot control the volume. OSX says "The selected device has no output controls". So the volume is basically "stuck" all way up. I can change the volume from apps that have their own controls like iTunes though. Would be nice to find a way to control the master volume though.

jarodsix Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 USB 5.1 only output working:Hercules USB 5.1 / Muse Pocket LT (same product - output working) I have this Hercules Muse Pocket LT USB card, and it works great, no extra drivers/patching, full support, also both inputs (mic and linein) work, so really it should be in the category USB 5.1 working in OS X: There is only one problem: you cannot selectively mute mic sound in front output (and pay attention I mean mic output, not mic recording levels set in sound/audio midi setup -- I mean the "Thru" checkbox in AUDIO/Midi does not work for this card). Of course you can just unplug the mic and that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
