Eddie Turfboer Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 I just found that Creative has finally a working driver (although it is in beta stage and for 64 bit)! Well, then my question imediately becomes: "Is the mac version comming any closer with that release?" Because I can imagen that, whilst both are unix based, the driver can be ported to Darwin. Have not much experience with that though. What do you think? Greetings, Eddie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SA22C Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I wouldn't hold your breath. I've long since resigned myself to using my onboard sound whilst in OS X. On the plus side, the driver seems better than it is for Windows, I don't notice nearly the amount of background noise in OS X that I do in XP.

DOCa Cola Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 i also have no driver programming experience at all. but atleast they have some sources included. also, as they are now introducing their pci-e line of xfi cards i still hope for an os x driver that will (hopefully) work with the pci cards too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pitr- Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 I wouldn't count on that. Also, their driver is mostly binary so it will only work for linux systems using kernel 2.6 (or perhaps only 2.6.20) and only 64-bit edition. In other words, they would have to remake the entire x-fi binary alsa driver for darwin kernel and sound system and since it's creative we're talking about, that should only take like.... 5-10 years for them to accomplish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
