Hi there, Lately my old M-Audio Revolution 7.1 soundcard gives me grief. The sound from the green output is often very loud and totally distorted so I have to switch to the MDD's speaker.
Since I use the card in my MDD I can't use the sleep function (the card worked better with Panther BTW) and after every kernel panic/permanent beachball the Mac forgets my user data and pw so I cannot log in anymore. That's why I clone my drives all the time. Apparently the M-Audio drivers are very bad and buggy. I tried the driver versions 1.4.1 and the recommended Leopard drivers. The Tiger drivers are much worse than the Panther ones and with the Leopard ones I have the same distortion problem plus the card's Pref. panel won't open. I liked the digital out though - I have almost 1 TB of digital music on harddisk. Perhaps I should look for another card with better Mac support but want to stick with Tiger - I like TenFourFox a lot - thanks again Cameron Kaiser for your work. What alternative would you recommend? I don't need any studio functionality or surround sound. When I watch a movie I play it from a USB stick on my digital TV/monitor and listen with my Stax headphones. I want a good SPDIF digital out and OK analog stereo sound from the green output for the built-in speakers of my monitor. It should be a PCI-card with good Tiger drivers. Any ideas? Thank you.
