MacUser2525 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 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? 10.5.8 Gigabyte EP35-DS3L Sound Blaster Audigy 2 (SB0240) 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.

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.

Oxtie Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 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.

The Matrix Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I'm able to get sound on Audigy 2 with Lion. However there are frequent crackles while listening to music. Sometimes when I surf the web it lags the sound a bit then plays. I'm running i7 920 with 6gb ram which should be sufficient for these tasks. Has anyone else experienced these cracking noises?

NotMeAgain Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 It's been several years since this driver was released, and quite a while since the last Mac OS update. From scanning the thread, it seems that the main developer is no longer working with OSX? This is a real - real - shame, as i've finally found my original front panel for my Audigy and was hoping to use the line inputs (nice clean pre-amp) with my guitar to lay some tracks down with guitar rig and garage band. Is there any alternatives? Anyone know of some affordable usb/firewire input devices that i can jack straight into to jam? Supported by 10.7 also? Thanks for the work so far, 5.1 is awesome.

slave-zeo Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Im using 1.11b0 in OS X Lion with a Sound Blaster Live! and it's working really well. Only thing I noticed is it seems to hit the cpu pretty hard while gaming, mainly in World of Warcraft. I may be imagining this but has anyone else noticed increased CPU usage with the kX drivers? Otherwise great work! It's nice to be able to use my 12 year old sound card again Strange how computer audio hasn't really changed much in all these years.

slave-zeo Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Got my Audigy2 in the mail yesterday and it works great EXCEPT in iTunes, safari, and quicktime (to name a few) only play from the rear channel speakers of my quadraphonic speaker set. In World of Warcraft it works as it's supposed to though thru the front. Any suggestions? Found my answer here http://kxproject.lugosoft.com/rear.php?language=en Basically I swapped the black and green audio plugs and configured the speakers in Audi MIDI Setup accordingly. ALSO (on a side note) sound flower does help the problem but i had to compile a Lion compatible version, i found the instructions here http://kineme.net/forum/General/soundflowerforlion It makes audio come from all the speakers but I'm worried I'm not getting the quadraphonic sound i'd like to have. Does anyone know if Soundflower maps the front left and right to the back two speakers or does it pass the correct data when using a source that supports multiple speakers.

slig Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Hi all, I have some problems with 2.0 audio upmix to 5.1. I've downloaded the soundflowerbed-mod (that's in the first post), but it gets distorted after a few minutes. I also tried the AU Lab method, but I've got the same results... it gets crackling and distorted after a few minutes. Anybody have a good method to upmix 2.0 audio to 5.1. I really want to listen my MP3's on my 5.1 speakers. Thanks.
