Soundblaster live
hm_murdock:
I know it's not much good right now, but if you want a good sound system, I heard someone is developing Darwin drivers for the Sound Blaster Extigty.

That's interesting that you say that, since every time I go into Comp USA I always see Soundblaster Live cards that were made for the Mac and contain Mac drivers. Plus he also mentioned that he got the Soundblaster Live Mac specific card.
I think the actual problem is that either the card you got was defective, or you have to disable the on-board Mac sound in some way. My experience with Macs is rather low, so I don't know this for certain. But I wouldn't say you're SOL yet. If the card is specifically made for a Mac, it should work with a Mac.

There really are no drivers for it in osX. There are for classic, but i understand that it is very buggy and doesnt do the card justice. The card was made for the mac, but creative neglected to write a driver for it. So i am SOL. :( :mad:

I have an SB live which works great under Linux, surely Mac OS X has just as good of hardware support as Linux?

You will be happy to know that there are OSX drivers being developed. The page I'm linking to is the OSX SBLive! driver developers page to keep people updated on the status of the drivers and I'm sure that when they are finished there will be a download link for them there.
