JBLanteigne Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I'm pretty sure there's a mac driver for it.. however I just want to double check.. I want to know if it would work on a dual boot. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBLanteigne Posted May 25, 2008 Author Share Posted May 25, 2008 Ok, I installed the driver with the cd... it's os x compatible.. after the installation, it's asking me to restart... ok. after the reboot, I go to: system preference/sound/output and I can't see my sound card... I go in my application, there's something related to my sound card there, but when I open it, it says it either can't detect the PCI card or that I did not install the drivers... help me please.

neptunefix Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I had this problem too. Apparently, M-Audio does not support intel-based macs because they generally don't have PCI slots. The driver you (and I) downloaded is for PPC macs. I doubt they will ever bother to make the driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enb14 Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 here is the link for a petition for intel drivers for their PCI cards. http://forums.m-audio.com/showthread.php?t=530 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neptunefix Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I don't mean to sound like a debbie downer, but M-Audio has the worst driver development in the audio card industry. Dispite tons of outrage and begging over the past year, they haven't even released Vista x64 drivers. I seriously doubt they are capable of making universal OSX drivers. *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielbpm Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 I have a M-Audio Ozone Keyboard, it works out of the box with 10.4.x but with 10.5.x the driver available from M-Audio is needed. Both ways the sound is crappy, lots of crackles and only 16bits mode works. In Windows XP and Vista it works flawlessly, now I dunno if its M-Audio or osx86 fault.. Any ideas ? btw, M-Audio do support IntelMacs, but I can only tell for what I've tested.. dunno about pci cards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neptunefix Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 M-Audio supports intelmacs, but not with the Delta series PCI cards. They assumed that there would be no need for intelmac support, since they don't have PCI slots. However, there are adapters that could be used if only m-audio weren't such slackers about developing drivers. Seems as though they could have made a universal driver or whatever pretty easily since they they already have those drivers for firewire and usb devices, and also from developing the PCI PPC drivers.

enb14 Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Yeah but they are hard to convince to get that driver to us, I hope somebody convince them to release those drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neptunefix Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I would pay for this driver.. Damn. I can't really afford to buy a new sound card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enb14 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 The problem is that there's no single PCIe sound card (under $200) that works with OSX, even those PCI that works are due to open source drivers compiled by some guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
