M-Audio 5.1 and 7.1 Revolution Leopard Driver

[caenis]

I know that there are a few topics that clearly state that this sound card will not work on hackintosh because of pci-x compability but i was thinking otherwise. I mean, as a jan. '09 m-audio released 5.1 and 7.1 10.5.6 drivers for this card. Also, in the manual it clearly states that these cards "have been designed to be PCI 2.2 compliant with support for both 3.3 volt and 5 volt signaling environments. This guarantees compatibility with PCI-X, 64-bit and standard 32-bit PCI-based systems, including the Apple G5." Now the slot it uses on windows is obviously PCI (not PCI-X) and in the requirements for macs it asks for "an available PCI slot." Again, i think if there is a way to modify the driver to recognize the PCI slot somehow we have somewhere to start. I don't know where to start but would encourage people that do to give us a hand or lead us in the right direction

 

Here is the most current drivers for 10.5.6 as of January 26 http://www.m-audio.com/index.php?do=suppor...=989&dl=yes

 

Thanks for everyone's help!

The official m-audio drivers are PPC only, *not* Intel.

 

There's a gentleman who has written some Intel drivers -- there's a thread on here (his name is 'sounddriverwriter' I think) and his webpage is:

I use the Revolution 7.1 drivers he wrote with no problems.
