HELP!!!

 

I have Deneb V1.4 OSx86 10.5.6 install. I have mostly everything working except for my sound.

The sound work in on 2 channels only.

 

Had to remove my X-Fi because there are no drivers. I then turn on my on board sound ALC883.

After many moons I could not get it to work in 5.1 either. Dusted off the old Sound Blaster Aug2 and reinstall the OS. I used the Sound Blaster drivers from the install CD. Well I have sound but not 5.1.

When I do a test in the midi util I can hear sound from all the channels but when I play a movie (DVD) or MP3 I am getting only stereo.

 

I am new to OSx86.

I don't know many of the commands for the terminal either.

 

Any advised would be great and thanks in advance.

to get 5.1 from movies, you have to use VLC player, it is freely available on the net.

 

to get sound from all speakers all the time, sort of mirrored 2.1, there is a hack by macgirl floating around somewhere (it is probably in the first post of this thread CHECK THAT).

Not necessarily "dark" i would describe it. If you inquire Snow Leo's specs, its mostly 64Bit so any experience dealing with 64Bit processors is a ++ for future OSX too...

 

hehe, I knew he was using Win more and doing something related...

 

He also says that x86 version will be out soon... he promised! I cant wait.

I had a similar problem I had to do a retail install to get 5.1 speakers available in midi setup.

Hi,

 

I installed these drivers on a Kalyway 10.5.2 install, but I cannot seem to get any sound.

 

I disabled my built-in AC97 audio, deleted the AC97 and other kexts that were noted to conflict in the first post (and updated the boot cache). The software itself is running, and detects my SB Audigy 2 ZS [9000] but I still don't hear anything. What can I do?

 

It says in the first post to make sure that "Intel ICH and PIIX Controller" was checked during setup. How can I see if I have these, and if not how can I install it?

 

- Thanks for your help

 

*EDIT* I hear of some people talking about a "edspctrl" command, could that help me? Also, the OP says that it 'works on' 10.5.3, but what about 10.5.2? I've already had to reformat my OSX install twice for minor things like this, I wouldn't think much changed in 0.0.1 versions.

Hello,

 

Thanks everyone who contributed in the developement of those drivers. I installed the driver for my audigy 2 platinum on a kalyway 9.5.2 upadted to 9.5.6 and it's working fine with my 6.1 speakers. One thing I noticed is that the front panel (line-in 2/mic, headphones, spdif etc) of the card is not working at all. Is there any chance to enable it in OSX or that is a wish out of question?

Guys, the drivers are "what you get is what you're gonna get" As has been posted in this thread, Eugene has stopped developing the driver. It sounded like he *might* work on the 64bit version in Snow Leopard, but until then this is all we are going to get.

 

 

Oxtie, perhaps you could please add to the First Post this info from Eugene's post that he has stopped development of the drivers for Audigy etc cards?

Well my guess would be that "he'z not interested in OSX, at the moment" and no one else is willing to generate some OSX interest in him ;) (its like get the driver and forget him...) just a wild guess, 57$ zucks hehe. I maybe interested in this part but NOT alone :wacko: (sleeping beast wouldn't wake up by tiny,... weed like me ALONE?). If anyone other then me thinking about it, drop me a note to make a fine "date".

 

Its 8th and WWDC is ON (maybe something like Snow Leo may pop out of no-where anytime in few months) so, definitely a good time to wake up the beast :dev:

 

 

AND, I will not update the first page with that kind of message that says "he has stopped development" and so on UNLESS he announces it (which may very well happen, the way i see it... without something that draws his attention with interest). Yep, perhaps at times $ does make some effect but... me and alone? not happening :P

 

 

EDIT: LIVE WWDC 2009 Showing off Mac OSX Snow Leopard + iPhone 3GS + More (CLICK)

 

Also Snow Leopard launching in September 2009??? Apple Page (Click)

It works better if you do a vanilla install......

FPGA is already programmed, but I still got no sound ! If I do a reset with edspctrl, the firmware is unable to upload again, I'm stuck.

If $$$ is indeed the "point of interest" I wouldn't mind contribute a bit, but it would have to be a confirmed case though... by him saying "thats right! show me the monay!"

hehe, and what makes you think he'll do that? he didn't release the driver for such reasons and I just want him to get further interested in OSX (which seems to be lost since long... as we all see it). Maybe its personal life thing but I'm trying to make it $$ thing :(  so that it at least shows some "alternate" way of appreciation... but this under no circumstance will be "hey, thats it! you pressed right $ button" from E... LOL

 

If you have any better idea then this (to get his mind back on OSX) Please.... share with us :)

Hi....

 

I was using kX Drivers on win xp.

i had to clear the default DSP to have all outputs.

 

I have an audigy 1 (10k2).

I got sound now but only front. no others.

didn't test line in yet.

 

VirtualDJ sees the card but got no prefade.....

 

any appl plays stereo, no more.

all set in MIDI (5.1, 48000hz...)

it's a no go.

 

Plz tell me how to activate the other speakers.

 

I have to add, that onboard i got an ALC883 6 Out (ll playing in VDJ)

but no 5.1 at all in itunes or other !
