Too bad the driver support has decayed so badly over the years.
With a 1999 machine running a (largely) 2005 OS, I'm hoping for
immunity from the decay. I'll try to glean from the archive how
applicable the driver issues are to me.
I have the M-Audio 2496 in my QS 2002 Dual 1GHz, and its drivers wreak
somewhat havoc under 10.5.8.
It was finally suggested by Sweetwater,com musicians staff, to only
use it under Tiger 10.4.11.
So, when I run my Leopard system, I don't have its driver's loaded.
When I need to do music work, I will go back to Tiger and use it there.
I don't believe there is any hope for new drivers from M-Audio, now
called Avid.
Here's the lengthy Forum Thread that I spent way too much time
discovering these simple truths:
Apple: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1910640&tstart=57
M-Audio: http://forums.m-audio.com/showthread.php?t=3856
If anyone knows of Generic Audio Drivers that might work with any of
these PCI audio cards, let me know.
