Did you update the firmware on your B&W? Be sure that you follow installation directions exactly or the Sonnet will not work. You should have gotten a CD from Sonnet when you bought your upgrade. The CD contains an installer that will upgrade the firmware on your Mac, and this must be done before you install the Sonnet Encore G4. Hope this helps.
