Keep in mind that the driver OS compatibility is misleading, at least for the 5.1. There is a 'final' driver that is marked for 10.4 and a 'beta' driver marked for 10.5, but if you download run the 'beta' it will say it supports 10.4 10.5. Thanks. Last I checked, all these cards that

Thanks, Bill. Though I'm not looking to M-Audio for anything I'd   record my own music with (I wouldn't dare, after what I've read),   your experience echoes the overall tenor of what I've read elsewhere.   Frustration. So the hardware is good and the drivers suck and support does not

Well, it's an old sound card for an old machine. I'm not really   counting on any support. Just looking for digital sound (music, not   movies) that's a cut above and more control over it (no real   complaint about the stock card), future speaker options, and also   headphone volume that

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 also like my music loud - it really helps me hear the
