hi
1.2b1 (BETA) version is out.
Changes:
* Fixed issues with 10k1-based cards [noise after some minutes]
* Fixed some of Kernel Panics
Features:
* 16-bit or 24-bit playback on most 10k1/10k2 cards (depending on card model)
* supports up to 8 speakers (configure speaker configuration in OS X 'Audio and MIDI' panel)
* should support SPDIF and headphones outputs, if applicable
* supports external modules (LiveDrive)
* supports hardware-accelerated volume control and mute, but not RemoteIR or onboard volume controls
Unimplemented:
* SPDIF+AC-3 passthrough
* 16/24-bit recording
* kX DSP and routing, no custom DSP effects, unless you upload them by using kxctrl
* SoundFonts and MIDI
* hot-plug for PCMCIA device (Audigy2 ZS notebook) - surprise removal will probably cause a lock-up or kernel panic
* any sampling rate except 48000Hz not supported, OS X uses built-in SRC, which is quite good
Known issues:
* E-mu E-DSP cards are now supported the same way they are under Windows version of the kX driver. In order to upload FPGA firmware after reboot, open Terminal and type 'edspctrl'. It should initialize FPGA firmware and any dock stations you have. Note that if you reboot after Windows, and you were running Creative drivers, you need to reset FPGA firmware. Type 'edspctrl -reset'. Use this command 'edspctrl -reset' if you don't here anything after reboot or power-on.
* power management is not fully functional, you may need to reset the card or unload/reload the driver after 'Sleep' or 'Hibernation'.
* 'kxctrl' does not support SoundFonts
* 'kX Manager' application currently does nothing. Ignore it
If you get Kernel Panics or system locks up, do the following:
* Reboot OS X
* At darwin boot prompt [before the 'gray apple' logo] add the following commands:
-v -debug=0x144
* This will enable verbose start-up and will display more information during kernel panic
After you get a new kernel panic [make sure to start your OS X with the options mentioned above], write down the following information:
* EIP address of the error (EIP: 0xXXXXXXXX)
* Address of the kX driver: "com.kXProject.driver.kXAudioDriver(1.2b1)@0xAAAAA AAA->0xBBBBBBBB"
* Backtrace (CPU 0) Frame. This is show in the following way:
0xCCCCCCC : 0xDDDDDDDD (0xEEEEE 0xFFFF ....)
...
until "Backtrace terminated"
and "BSD process name corresponding to current thread"
Don't send me any screenshots of your display, unless your image is perfectly readable!

These drivers are released by Eugene Gavrilov (Lead programmer of KX-Project) and his team
|| [/size]The official home of kX Project[size="2"] || OSX Main Thread || BUG Report Page || Donations ||
(VISA & MasterCard accepted, Western Union name: Eugene Gavrilov, city: St. Petersburg, Russia)
Discuss about OSX version at main thread, Discuss BUGs at BUG report page, (and here if you want to confirm)
The supported cards: EMU10K(1&2) [ Live!, Audigy(1&2)!, EMU E-DSP]
(Audigy SE/LS which is not EMU10K(1 or 2) will not work!)
EMU E-DSP users: Read the release notes properly (known issues)
ONLY these mentioned Creative cards and EMU Cards are most likely going to work now or in near future!
The supported OS: Tiger and Leopard editions
Works On: IATKOS 4i, LEO4ALL-v3, KALYWAY 10.5.3, JaS 10.5.4 CS, iDeneb, Leo4Allv4x
The driver supports Multichannel up to 7.1 and works on x86 based system ONLY (AMD too i guess
).NEW ISSUES: (Report here to confirm with others)
1. No sound after resume
NOT WORKING? Perform these general checks and post replies:
0. Checked Compatiblity list above?
1. Cable connections checked from behind? On proper port? ond NOT on Mic port?
2. Audio Midi Setup set with appropriate speakers? Performed Speaker Test?
3. Speakers Powered ON? Power Cables checked?
4. HeadPhones plugged in resulting in Mute?
5. Any other drivers conflicting? OnBoard Audio disabled in BIOS? (Onboard drivers for Azalia / AppleHDA known to conflict)
6. Is Device's name mentioned properly in Audio Midi setup? eg. "kX 0350 etc" (Application \ Utilities)
7. "Intel ICH and PIIX Controller" was enabled in your OSX setup? unchecked Azalia, AppleHDA in setup?
8. Volume Controls checked?
9. Earlier versions working on your system? (have you tried earlier versions? see my signature for download links)
10. Your sound works on XP/Vist???? (and with kX drivers for Windows???)
11. BIOS shows information that PCI card is inserted properly?
12. Tried other Distros such as JaS, Kalyway, Leo4All? etc?
13. Sound comes when you put your headphones ON? in the headphones port?
Bass/Treble misc problems? Listen these Test MP3s

Hagar's post below was in response to my first original (unedited post) and had nothing to do with my current edited post.
) an year later, found many entries at MiniNov related to OSX so gave Leo4allv3 another shot (which worked!!) Like all others, hunted for drivers (obviously didn't find any) so looked for drivers for any os/osx (which could lead me to developer) and found plenty including kX for Win32. At first, I went to kX home and thought it would never work since the project is looking OLD, besides It was unusual as creative was already offering it (never tried that kx version at that point as it felt risky thinking of quality, errors, BSODs and OS reinstall). I found another dude who was going to write driver for OSX (an ex CT employee) but the date showed no response from him since ages and i never found any contact information either 
I've got a dv6395 and it suffers with the name "Ricoh". 
It is also good to donate if others want to, besides how many cool coders are out there? specially who can bring almost all main features of original CT drivers to OS-xxx?
