dj_stick Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 very few, if any, PCI soundcards will work in OSX - just get a USB SB Live! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dj_stick Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 should do the trick - OSX works with most basic USB soundcards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muvo Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 There are no PCI soundcards for any of the Intel Mac, because they don't need it (they have optical output), only with the PPC Power Mac you can get some PCI soundcards, like M-Audio Revolution 5.1 and 7.1 (I buy a Revolution 7.1 for my Intel hackintosh, but there are no drivers, only por PPC, so now I use it with my Power Mac G4).

dj_stick Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 muvo - iirc no mac has multi-channel sound - sure they've got toslink (optical spdif) but i'm pretty sure they don't have any compression codecs like dolby digital or dts, so it'll just be stereo PCM output a usb or firewire multichannel soundcard will solve your problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nate256 Posted March 5, 2008 Author Share Posted March 5, 2008 can u suggest a USB card with at least 5.1? thanks that would be nice i bought one but it isnt surround so i want one that is if possible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love_@_1st_Mac Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 can u suggest a USB card with at least 5.1? I am also waiting for an answer on that. If i wanted only 2 of my 6 speakers to work, i would use my onboard sound... but untill now no help. Might get lucky with a wireless sound card...but for that, I need some other parts on my computer... like...let's say...a witeless card lol I don't want to buy a soundcard that will not work so, therefor i am still in testing and waiting mode.
