Promethe Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 So, hi to all After long battle I finally managed to get OSx86 stand and running on my PC. Last thing that I need is soundcard. Yeah. Sound. On USB would be better, becouse I've got all PCI slots used (although I can remove Planet WL-8310 wifi card, 1st - it's not supported, 2nd - i'm using lan now). I looking for something cheap - 15-20 bucks, max. It only had to make sounds. BTW. I've got sigmatel audio on my Intel 945GTP board. Any chance for working?

altievane Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 I think external Sound Cards about $30 bucks up, a Creative SB Live! 24-Bit External USB is working though look in the Wiki for PCI, CMI8738 about less $5-10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikesown Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Argh, and my $200 PCI audigy 2 won't work :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumpo Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 creative soundcards are {censored} anyway;) I picked up a cheap Techsolo Techsolo TC-B16 for 10 bucks, it has a CMI 8738 chip (which seems to work just fine and easy without much hassle). Most of the really cheap soundboards have a CMI 8738 actually, so it should prove to be too difficult to pick up one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offall Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 I guess the cheapest method is to get a CMI 8738 sound card like this http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/Sea...11756&CatId=107 or this http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/Sea...72148&CatId=107 it is a really old and crapy sound card though, I used to have it 6 years ago, wondering why they still selling them now, but according to wiki, it works well in tiger. I am actually thinking about same thing, but not sure if we could figure out the sigmatel one ourselfs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it's not a soundcard that finally worked for me - it was a usb audio plugin. I only have the builtin AC97 available on my Dell 8400 - the SoundBlaster live card does not work. So I looked around and decided to try this very inexpensive device (about $15 to $20 on ebay or tiger direct) and it works like a charm. The url is: http://www.soundmax.com.tw It works great with iTunes, and I get all the desktop noise associated with Macs as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
