newbmac Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=arti..._gift&num=1 Could this source code be of any use in making a driver for OSx86?? (I realize Linux and Osx86 are very different unixes) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/135076-creative-open-sources-their-x-fi-driver/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRGUY85 Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I was about to post the same thing. It would be great to be able to use my X-FI in Mac. If they could also get external modules to work, I would delete Win XP for good.

YKWIA Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 It's been too long that the X-Fi hasn't been compatible with OSx86. One more piece of hardware that people really want to work, work...

Oxtie Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 if Eugene want, it can actually happen (pm with bribe ). The way i see, E is probably busy in many projects and there has to be a very good reason for him to start working on X-Fi Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/135076-creative-open-sources-their-x-fi-driver/#findComment-1084735 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbolaia Jones Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 I´m on this one.. Me for X-Fi. Bought one today, but no Mac-support, and ALC885 and ADI1988B doesnt work for me either. {censored}!

680i-osx Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Why I didn't learn C... If I could, I would write a driver by my self, but I don't have any clue of how it's done... BTW, the X-Fi audio controller is getting quite popular now, it even comes bundled on some top of the line motherboards. And Creative already launched the PCIe versions of their cards, so I really hope someone talented writes a driver for it...

Kludge420 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Too little too late. I will NEVER buy a Creative Labs product EVER again All because they attacked a kid for making a driver that worked with Vista when they claimed it wasn't possible... but you could buy their new hardware and it would work... if you also bought their crappy software update too! So no more Creative (or E-Mu) products for me ever again.

680i-osx Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Yeah, unfortunately their politics never benefit the end user, and that's a real shame! But if someone make a driver for my XtremeGamer or for any of the newer PCIe X-Fi cards, I would still keep my card or even buy a newer X-Fi card... All I need is a quality analog output from my hackintosh. Let's keep the hope for a driver...

lastowl Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 possible just use another similar card and patch the different from the bus points etc. but it would take too long for single developer would a good team Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/135076-creative-open-sources-their-x-fi-driver/#findComment-1126938 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxtie Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 To be honest, only those guys who have made alternate drivers (someone like Eugene, but not exactly him) can make it work. I had this card Audigy2ZS from creative and found this guy who knew it thoroughly likewise, you guys should be doing the same thing (searching for a guy(s) known to have made drivers for other OS who knows X-Fi aka EMU20K series and politely asking him/her/them to get interested in this world) rather then waiting for someone to land from sky and make drivers for you If any of you find such person, spread it here and go forward as whole...

168 Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 COME ON!!! THe X-Fi sounds so much better than the Audigy. I have both but I choose Windows just because it comes with the X-Fi drivers and just sounds SOOOOOO MUCH BETTER.

Windywoo Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I would like to add my voice to those interested in X-Fi drivers. I have everything working great in my Hackintosh now (even a Radeon 4870) but I had to use onboard sound instead of my X-Fi. Not ideal Good luck to whoever takes up the challenge.
