OS X driver 1.0b2 (ALPHA)
hi
 kX Audio driver for OS X (Leopard and Tiger) released. This is ALPHA build, use it on your own risk. Features: * 16-bit playback on most 10k1/10k2 cards * supports up to 8 speakers (configure them in OS X 'Audio and MIDI' panel) * should support SPDIF and headphones outputs, if applicable * supports external modules (LiveDrive) * supports hardware volume control and mute Unimplemented: * recording * SPDIF/AC-3 passthrough * 24-bit playback and 16/24-bit recording on 10k2/audigy/audigy2 cards * kX DSP and routing, no custom DSP effects, SDK and API * hot-plug for PCMCIA device (Audigy2 ZS notebook) - surprise removal will probably cause a lock-up or kernel panic * any sampling rate except 48000Hz not supported, OS X uses built-in SRC, which is quite good Known issues: * E-mu E-DSP cards are supported, but their FPGA firmware is not uploaded by default. If you are using Hackintosh, you will need to install kX driver, ensure audio is OK and reboot into OS X, this way FPGA firmware will be preserved and you will get audio. * When installing under Leopard, you may need to reboot after you run the installer, because leopard won't load driver KEXT file * audio samples in 'Sounds' preference may sound distorted in Leopard (due to unknown reason) Important: * front and rear outputs may be swapped by default for your card (this depends on your AC97 codec and card model). make sure you connect the speakers to 'Rear' output if you don't hear anything in front speakers, or re-configure audio in 'Audio MIDI Setup'. ==== Please report any bugs to this thread: "1.0b2 bug reports" ==== Download: kXAudioDriver-1.0b2.dmg. By downloading and installing the driver you agree to be bound by the license agreement. The driver is provided AS IS without warranty of any kind. Have a nice day and good luck!

Eugene, I've added your driver release quote at the begining of the page
and updated the information as you mentioned (home page etc) The page will most probably exceed the 10000 views by next 24 hours E, will these driver work on PPC based system? (Universal Binary?) Are you going on vacation without fixing the main issue?  As always, any update from your side will be mentioned in my first post Thanks once again for a fine quality work time!

No sound using EMU 1212m.
Using balanced cables maybe that is why? |

balanced/unbalanced should have no affect - that's all handled post DSP/DAC

Eugene, someone PMed me with Russian!! help -->
у меня система 10,4,11 хакинтошь, воткнул Creative SB Live, поставил дрова , перегрузился и система не смогла загрузить дрова kx. грузится смог тока через -v. хочу спросить , перед установкой ваших дров нужно было удалить HD Audio или не обязательно, в чем может быть проблема, что система не загружается нормально ? заранее благодарю за ответ. Translated but, difficult: I have a system 10,4,11 hakintosh, stuck Creative SB Live, delivered firewood, overloading the system and was unable to load firewood kx. loaded able current through-v. I want to ask before installing your firewood needed to remove the HD Audio or not necessarily, what may be the problem that the system does not load properly? thank in advance for your reply. I think this person want to remove HD audio driver (to make the system boot normally) and install kX should I send this person the following in Russian??? (Translated ofcourse)  OK, I understand you're Russian but I'm not but I'll try to help (with the Google translation) Я не говорят по-русски, но я постараюсь помочь. If you want to remove your HD audio driver, you must first find the loaded driver 1. Click "Apple" menu ->click "about this mac", click "More info" 2. Click "Extensions" (from left) and see which driver is loaded (HD xxx.kext) To unload the driver, 3. Click "Go" menu, click "Utilities", Double click "TERMINAL" 4. type sudo -s (password) kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/HD xxx.kext 5. Double click finder -> System -> Library -> Extensions 6. Delete HD xxx.kext hehehe, I can be a fool at times... Last edited by Oxtie; Aug 15, 2008 at 02:39 PM. |

As i see you dont understand my problem? Моя система Asus P5B-E;Core2 Duo;2 gb mem;Creative SB Live Mas OSX 10.5.4 Leo4All Я пробовал установить драйвера (kxAudio 1.02 и 1.03 пробовал установить), после инсталяции kxAudio я перегрузил Mac OSX , но звуковая карта так и не появилась в системе. Так же я пробовал установить kxAudio на 10,4,11 , результат был тот же : звуковой карты не было в системе. В чем проблема ? |

jimaul, I have SB Live too and hackintosh, but no time to install and test it, I'm a mere translator now, hope Eugene or others can give a hand
Translation: My system: Asus P5B-E;Core2 Duo;2 gb mem;Creative SB Live Mac OSX 10.5.4 Leo4All I tried to install the driver (kxAudio 1.02 and 1.03), after the install I have restarted the Mac OSX, but the sound card never appeared in the system (this may be related to message like "No creative sound card found", etc?) I also tried to install kxAudio on 10,4,11 (this should be macos version) with the same result. Where is the problem? |

Mac or PC SB Live?
How cool!
Is this driver for the Mac Soundblaster or a generic PC Soundblaster? |
