TriPpeD Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 We should start a post saying we can contribute by testing it on our systems. Make our voices heard! Hear hear!!....if everyone who wants X-fi support donated €5 that would be a fair few € Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/135076-creative-open-sources-their-x-fi-driver/page/2/#findComment-1200799 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gravian Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 By the way now my Optical is not working but analog output works. Does 5.1 analog output work? I think it's just glitchyness with the Kext. Often I'll boot into OS X and have to reboot because I wont have analog sound or nothing will be detected at all, but after I restart everything will be working well. I'm just happy to have my X-Fi working at all, but if anyone has any ideas to resolve this, or get the mic jack working, I'd be glad to try them out. The more stuff we can get working on the X-Fi the better, since it would open up Hackintoshers to what is probably the most common card on the market. EDIT: Ok, I found out what makes the difference for me at least. Restarting the computer I'll get sound next boot, but if I start up from a completely powered down state it wont see the X-Fi for some reason. In fact, nothing comes up in the system logs about the VoodooHDA Kext from a cold boot at all. The same thing happens if I tell it to restart, but cut the power right after it restarts to simulate a shut down, so I'm somewhat inclined to believe this may be hardware specfic for me. enb14: If you want, try booting a few times from an off state and then try restarting a few times and see if that makes any consistant difference in what you get.

Gravian Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I disabled my onboard ALC888 and install this driver, but nothing happened.The VoodooHDA can't find my X-fi Xtreme Audio Is it PCI-E or PCI? Also, I found out what was causing my X-Fi to only show up on reboot. For some reason, my computer doesn't assign an IRQ to one of the PCI-E bridges on cold boot, but does on a warm boot (restart).

I did that the voodohda driver seems to works some times and other times doesn't I only got 2 speakers with analog output fortunatelly for my I bought an maya 44e PCIe (same as my X-Fi titanium fatal1ty) so now no more needing for AppleHDA for now, maybe with snow leopard.

M0rpheus Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I think that PCI-E only works, not PCI. I have a PCI Xtreme Gamer that doesn't work either. With VoodooHDA all I get in the sound panel is "digital out" that doesn't actually work. Even if I could get 2 speaker analog working (I only have a 2.1 setup) then I'd be over the moon.

nozz93 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I have PCI X-Fi Extreme Gamer Fatal1ty Professional and paid 120€ for that thing, it must be possible to get a driver for these things if we have the source (even if it's not the OS X source). C'mon, we need drivers for these things!

evak Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Xtreme Gamer here, adding my support to this topic I have my X-fi worked as described in this thread , both input and out put That's really interesting. I've only been at the hackintosh thing for 3 days and it looks like my x-fi Extreme Gamer card is going to be the final hurdle. I really like this card, for years I didn't buy a creative after experiencing the SBlive value and seeing their drivers and support were abysmal for the last few years. Then I got Win 7 and saw that my local store had Refurbished Gamer cards for $40. Was completely blown away. Latest drivers are great and much better than the internal ALC8xxx on my Mobo. Just hope someone with the skills will give these cards some love Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/135076-creative-open-sources-their-x-fi-driver/page/2/#findComment-1405610 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiwi89 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 mmm, looks pretty promising. I've got an x-fi extreme gamer as well and I'd love to be able to have some type of analogue output for it. I'd be keen to have a go at writing some support for it, but I've never done any of that type of thing before.

jingato Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 How do you get this card working with the VoodooHDA kext that was mentioned? I downloaded it and added it to my system but I still have nothing. Is there anything I need to add to my com.apple.boot.plist? I don't need anything fancy like surround sound or input or anything.

Gringo Vermelho Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 You can't. Only PCI-Express based X-Fi's are working. The ExtremeMusic is PCI.

dokadoka Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I have the USB version, and it works. I believe I'm using AppleHDA, but it's not in my /Extra/Extensions. AppleUSBAudio does load for it. It's recognized in System Preferences -> Sound. I can select it for output. com.apple.driver.AppleHDA (1.6.8a3) <76 75 67 5 4 3 1> com.apple.driver.AppleUSBAudio (2.6.8fc1) <75 40 5 4 3> Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/135076-creative-open-sources-their-x-fi-driver/page/2/#findComment-1582188 Share on other sites More sharing options...
