Big Kahuna Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 no go so far with the SBLive! or any Creative cards.. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/3371-sound-blaster-live/#findComment-21458 Share on other sites More sharing options...
amalagaura Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 no go so far with the SBLive! or any Creative cards.. I also have a creative sb live card (not 24 bit). It works but the sound seems scratchy and cuts out while watching movies for a few seconds at a time. I am running 10.4.5. Is there any fix for this?

Kent Pribbernow Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 How did you manage to get your card working. I a Creative Soundblaster Live Value edition (PCI), and OSX doesn't seem to see it. Are there beta drivers floating around? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/3371-sound-blaster-live/#findComment-98060 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there beta drivers floating around? He probably has onboard sound and doesn't realise that this is being used instead of his SB Live! Apple has absolutely NO support for Creative PCI Sound Cards.

amalagaura Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 I am also running sound with the Soundblaster Live. It is the old PCI card, not 24 bit. It works but sometimes gives scratchy audio which sounds like it is skipping. Then if I restart the quicktime file or MP3 file it will start working fine and works continuously. It was working fine, but now when trying to use in Final Cut Studio it sometimes totally cuts out and I have to restart the machine. As to using the onboard accidentally, well it would be quite a trick since my speakers are connected to the audio out from the creative card. There is some sort of issue with the 915 intel motherboards which were causing reboots when using the mics, so I had to buy this Soundblaster Live. I want a USB external card now!
