I ordered a few cables to get both my PC and powerbook hooked up to my old creative extigy sound card, hoping I could then listen to either through my 5. Rex Essential Plus Overdrive Keygen there. 1 speaker set. I’d used the extigy on the mac before, and it certainly does detect it and play sound. Unfortunately I hadn’t paid much attention to the rear speakers. It turns out creative never released any drivers for the mac, so not only can I not get proper 5.1 surround sound, the CMSS feature won’t work either.

So that was a waste of time and money, considering I can get the same sound from a normal stereo cable. Keeperrl Free Download there. Apparently the newer macbooks (hopefully mine included) have optical audio out, but I’m not sure I want to buy the cable to find out?

As a “sort of” fix, I’m going to play music using parallels running Windows XP. I don’t think I’m ever going to get away from Windows for good. П™ x81 Author Posted on Categories. Hey, I wanted to use the extigy sound card as well for my mac mini, bought at the end of 2008, it worked fine, but after I upgraded my os x to 10.5.7, the extigy card does not appear in the sound settings in my system preferences, now i have to use the digital out, but I can then only control the speakers manually from the controller that followed my speakers.

So the SBLive I had in my Hackintosh has inexplicably bit the dust for no reason at all. Under Mac OS X it is no longer detected regardless of how many times I reinstall the kX drivers, and under a Linux LiveCD it is detected but fails to initialize- crashes ALSA with a mixer error on boot. So I pulled it.

I have four speakers and a sub, and to get the rear speakers to work, I used a connector for two audio outputs from the extigy, so it plays the same sound in all 4 speakers, not the ideal solution, but, hey, I can’t let two speakers collect dust. But back to my problem, do you know if it’s possible to rollback the os x update, just to check that it might be why I can see the extigy card in my system preferences?

So I randomly decided to try plugging my SoundBlaster Extigy into my iBook 800 MHz. Not realizing Apple had wrote basic drivers for it yet, I was completely surprised to hear mp3s come out of my fiber optic audio network strung about my studio from my little laptop. It works indeedy, at 48kHz.but it runs choppy at times. Sliding the mouse pointer across the dock in magnify mode is one good way to trigger the choppy/clickiness. Does anyone have an idea how to bump the thread priority up for whatever process controls USB or audio? (I tried renice-ing iTunes to no success) Or, does anyone know how to edit the sound server (if such a thing exists in X) configuration manually from say the command line?

I think if I could tweak the audio rates, like 48kHz down to 44.1 kHz, and a few other adjustments, I might be able to get it to play smooth. Any other ideas anyone? I've done a lot of digging online and I appear to be one of the first people on the planet to plug my extigy into my mac, heh.

Thanks in advance, Nick.
