Hyper Salad Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Hello everybody, I got 10.5.0 ToH installed fine using This and everything works great with the exception of my pci slots not fully functioning. My WiFi PCI card works fine, but not my Echo Layla PCI sound card. In the system profiler it seems to think i have no PCI slots, yet i am getting action from my WiFi card. If anyone can help with my computer fully recognizing my PCI slots, it would be a life saver...

Headrush69 Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 System Profiler not listing anything under PCI devices is a cosmetic problem and doesn't affect functionality. There are methods to manually change the information to look right, but it isn't auto-filled and makes no difference. I'm not familiar with that sound card, but not many PCI based ones work. (Check the HCL) Best bet is get a USB based sound card or a simple USB sound adapter on ebay. (About $2.99) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/77760-pci-slot-driver/#findComment-550363 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagar Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 This is very well documented, so you could find these answers for yourself, but here goes: System Profiler does not show pci slots on pc. 99.9% of pci soundcards do not work with os x. essentially, you have been uncommonly lucky that your wifi card works without tweaking.

macgirl Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Hagar, even on some real Macs System Profiler does not report PCI devices. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/77760-pci-slot-driver/#findComment-550395 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyper Salad Posted December 24, 2007 Author Share Posted December 24, 2007 Thanks a bunch guys, it's too bad bout that... im pretty sure there will be better compatibility with all this stuff (such as pci sound cards) soon enough - seeing how fast and powerful the OSx86 coders are I appreciate the time and help...

It seems that RME PCI cards work just fine... So bad...
