sturzo Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Being a musician and desperately wanting to use my PCI-based devices in my custom-built hackintosh, I would love for someone to break the Mac Pro's chains that bind and allow for PCI-based sound cards to be used natively. Knowing that this is a virtual impossibility, I have had to think a bit outside of the box and consider a few alternatives. In these forums I have read a few success stories regarding usb [and in some cases firewire] sound devices functioning properly under osx86 Leopard, but the only firewire sound device that I own is an Mbox2 Pro which shows no signs of being compatible with Leopard anytime soon. My question is, as ridiculous as it may be, would/could a PCI-e to PCI adapter "trick" the OS into thinking that the device was strickly PCI-e based and had no PCI qualities about it? Please correct me if I'm thinking too far outside the box--desperation can cause strange behavior and I've become officially obsessed with this concept. Please respond. Thanks.
