stmiller Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 another iDeneb 10.5.5 try here with audiophile 2496. kext loads just fine, and I can choose it as an audio output/input in audio midi setup. As soon as any audio tries to play- I get a hard lock. No kernel panic screen, just instant lock. My machine has 4GB of ram if any testing is needed.

Music Producer Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 It seems that the physical memory address of the out- and input buffer is beyond 256 MB, which the (old) Envy24 chip can't handle. Actually, this doesn't happen for me, but 'music producer' tested it for me and we found out it happens on his system.This means that I have to find out if OSX can be forced to allocate memory in the first 256 MB of memory space. Good News! We found the bug(if you can call it that) Took out 3 stick's and left 1GB in my system. booted up and I have sound working perfectly. never thought it would be a issue with having too much ram. look forward to your solution.

frag84 Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 M-Audio 2496 doesn't work Hi guys so I just tested the driver with my M-Audio 2496 and get the following "error" is it maybe because there are too many other sound drivers installed which leads to a conflict ? honestly I installed many differend sound drivers at the time I installed the Kalyway, just in hope that one of them works. And they do. One of the drivers make my mainboard audio card work, but my proper card is the m-audio. So I would like to use it. When I click at the systemsettings onto sound, there's kinda freezing screen with the all known message Please Reboote your system... -> so I deinstalled the driver. can you help me? my osx is Kalyway 10.5.2 with original Vanilla Kernel 9.4 system is listed at the bottom greets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiodriverwriter Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Tomorrow I'll try to fix it, didn't have time today, sorry. It's definately the memory limit problem. You guys are great testers, thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al_indigo Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 If it would be helpful, i have exactly the same lock with m-audio delta 44, 4gb ram you are the greatest, audiowriter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiodriverwriter Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Ok, version 0.6.0 is up. This should fix the freezes. If the driver fails to find memory below the 256 MB of physical address space, it will exit gracefully, so your system won't freeze (well, in theory!). Let me know if this works! You can check the system log if it 'Allocated with limit' or 'Failed to allocate with limit'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frag84 Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 yeah very nice! Output tested and works! BUT I can't use mac osx volume control! Neither he F10 F11 F12 nor the volumen control on the top of the screen beside the clock Can you fix this? this is very import Input signal tested and doesn't work. I get no nignal Greets Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiodriverwriter Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Great to hear that it works! Volume control will be implemented later, sorry. Regarding your input problems: I've had this issue too with my Delta 44 and Audacity. Input 1-2 ended up on track 3-4 or 5-6 (can't remember) if I set inputs to 12 channels. Can you try that please?

audiodriverwriter Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Oh, lol! I disabled recording to rule out bugs in the recording part!! Hehe.. Sorry guys, gonna make a new build 0.7.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audiodriverwriter Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Ok, version 0.7.0 is up. Should enable inputs again (I tested with Audacity myself). Almost 100 views on this thread in 2 hours, hehe.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arqui Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 OOOOOOOOOHHHHHYYYYEEEEAAAAAAAAAA! Soud in and bass out!!!!! uuuuuuuuuuuuu!!! Thanks! Just missing volume option. But you will fix that later! of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audiodriverwriter Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 For the 1010 (not LT) users: The DAC in the 1010 has no volume control and the ADC has no gain control. So basically, there is nothing to control there. What is possible though, is to switch outputs 1-2 and/or the S/PDIF out to a hardware mixing mode. In this mode, the Envy24 acts as a digital 36-bit mixer, where you can listen to a mix of all inputs and outputs on output 1-2. What is NOT possible, is to control the volume of outputs 3-4,5-6,7-8 in hardware. I also checked this in the manual of the 1010. So, what is it that you want to control exaclty? Do you guys need this hardware mixing mode? I assume that in multi-track usage, you would have volume control for all the outputs as busses anyway in your DAW.

salax Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Concerning the volume control, from what i understand, as i remember from older PPC-installations i had with the 2496, the driver software also installed an app that gives you a mixer/console dedicated to the specific card, not just a generic/default volume control thing. Say, would taking that (Rosetta-format) application as a copy and take it to the x86 version give control to volume in any way? Just a thought..

Just a thought.. Well, for me, the M-Audio control panel didn't work since it complains about wrong architecture. Anyway, for all other cards I can make controls for the DAC's and ADC's that do have volume and gain control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok so: the volume control that it's normal to control the output is only for th 1 and 2 output, because these 2 are the main outputs. You can also ad volume out control to spdif. the other ones are only to send/returns so they don't need, these ones we control in the DAW. I think this is what you wrote and it is correct. But concerning the inputs, it would be wonderful that you could set gain controls for each one.... 1 to 8.... Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frag84 Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I try to explain quickly. On Windows I have had an M-Audio 2496 Software Mixer, where I could control the Master output, the spdiff output and the other one- don't know the name. I would wish to control the Master output also with my F10 F11 and F12 Keys, like I do with my onboard soundcard. Greest Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiodriverwriter Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 @arqui There is no gain on the codec, so that can't be implemented, sorry. It's just not there in hardware. @frag84 For all cards other than the 1010, controls will be implemented. I have no idea how that relates to function keys, since that's beyond the driver's control.

Could it be you got a version of the OS that's "crippled"? (no Rosetta) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
