audiodriverwriter Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 @Sorex Heh, that's funny. But that would mean that the prodigy uses the exact same codecs as the Aureon and that all GPIO's are connected in the same way. I actually only read the subvendor ID from the EEPROM, since (as I reported earlier) reading from EEPROM is not always giving me the same values. The other settings that are contained in the EEPROM aren't used. About your USB problems: that sounds like my interrupt handler is also grabbing the USB device's interrupts! I thought I made sure that wasn't the case, but apparently I made a mistake somewhere! I will try to fix that. Many thanks for testing!

Sorex Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 @audiodriverwriter Thank You!!! for writing this driver! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/25145-esi-juli-envy-24-with-osx86-any-progress/page/7/#findComment-939709 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gbone Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 I was happy, when I read Your post Sorex, because I have also an Audiotrak Prodigy 7.1 card. precisely a 7.1 XT card, which has TOSLINK optical inputs and outputs, which is the same as Terratec's Aureon Space 7.1. So Audiodriverwriter, if it is possible to add these cards to your driver's supported cards, it would be a great help for us. I have found a webpage, where all of the ENVY 24 cards are listed, with their memory dumps and specifications. You can find FreeBSD drivers here too. If it is a help for you, here is the address of the page: http://envy24.svobodno.com/ I hope it will be a help in your driver development process. Thank you for your efforts. In the name of the OSx86 community.

audiodriverwriter Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 @Gbone I have to investigate if the codecs and the GPIO's are the same as the Aureon. If that is the case, it's a simple check of the subvendor ID and let the card pretend to be an Aureon. Thanks for the link!

chezalfredo Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 @audiodriverwriter I also have the last part of played sounds repeated 2 times but with a lower volume.

axel99092 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 Thanks! Alright, showtime! If you have any of the above mentioned cards, please download the BETA Envy24HT driver at: http://www.audio-evolution.com/drivers/ Note, I don't have another OSX86 machine, so don't be surprised if this doesn't install or work. But I'd be glad to hear if it did! If you like my work, donations are always welcome at paypal AT audio-evolution.com! No M-Audio Delta?

Sorex Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 @Gbone As you can see from the link that you provided, Prodigy 7.1 HIFI is not the same as Prodigy 7.1 Only Aureon Space 7.1, Sky 5.1 and Prodigy 7.1 can be treated as the same cards.

Gbone Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 @Sorex I know that HIfi is not the same as Prodigy 7.1. I have Prodigy 7.1 XT, which is the almost the same as Prodigy 7.1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/25145-esi-juli-envy-24-with-osx86-any-progress/page/7/#findComment-940908 Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiodriverwriter Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 what about M-Audio (|>)elta Audiophile 24/96? @axel and ChromeBio Please people, read the thread carefully. I have stated several times that Envy24HT is not the same as Envy24 and I would start with the Envy24 driver (for the M-audio Delta series amongst others) after the HT is finished. But seeing that there have been no donations at all, I think I will first continue on my other projects.

MugenHiryu Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Ok, GREAT thanks goes to audiodriverwriter... And his asking of donations would fit his work just right...unlucky enough though me myself cannot actually afford any kind of donations right now but probably in the end of the month... Have to check whether my ESI Juli@ works in this hackintosh-machine... Still though, this question goes out to our own programmer; If i bought a Motherboard (say MSI) with pci-e support 4x and 16 x...and I installed the ESI Juli@ card into one of these slots....(since that's what you do in a real MAC OS X Apple computer) would the original driver from ESI work??? Or have I missed something here regarding the support of the OSX86 in itself...?

audiodriverwriter Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 @MugrnHiryu Thanks! I'm not sure what you mean, but you can't stick a PCI card into a PCI-express slot. And real Intel Macs don't have PCI slots (only express), which is the whole reason I wrote this driver. Since otherwise, the sound card manufacturers would already have made Intel drivers for their PCI cards.

If it's too much trouble to write that then i understand, thanks for all your work I'll see what I can do, the hardest part is that I don't have such a card here which makes developing/testing/debugging a bit trial and error.

MugenHiryu Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 What I mean is that, this card is supposed to work on a MAC machine as well isn't it? At least that's what it says on on the spec (Require Mac OS 10.2 or better)... In that case, how am I supposed to install it on that system? Do I need som special adapters? Or is it just that plain simple that a Power PC or G4 fixes it and not the G5...cause of the pci-e... By the way, is the ESI Juli@ MIDI I/O supposed to work too?

Pyroman Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 HI Audiodriverwriter! Thanks your excelent work! You are a {censored}in genius man! My Aureon SKY 5.1 fully working, my only problem is, i can use only 6 chanel(no stereo option) output. I never use 5.1 and i think stereo is not the same, like the 5.1 front speakers(without the center). If the same i have no question...
