Re: PCI Cards under OS X 10.5.8 vrs 10.4.11
Hi, I also have the 7.1 Revolution in my MDD and after upgrading to Tiger I tried the M-Audio "upgrade" drivers for Tiger. Actually they worked very irratically and when I reinstalled the M-Audio Panther drivers my system was "reasonably" stable again. Don't know how the Panther drivers would perform under Leopard, though ... All the best, Jörg.

Re: PCI Cards under OS X 10.5.8 vrs 10.4.11
My Revolution 5.1's drivers for 10.4 & 10.5 never did work quite right. They did work, but some options were greyed out, settings were forgotten, etc… I won't buy another M-Audio card for OS X without first researching other user's experiences with it. My Revolution 7.1 works fine in a Sawtooth running 10.5.8. Quirks, yes, but everything that really matters works, and I've used it for recording as well as playback. The most crucial "quirk" is something I learned by accident: Access the M-Audio settings ONLY through System Preferences, NEVER by clicking on the M-Audio icon that appears in the Dock when the preference pane is open (result = instant kernel panic). The most annoying of the quirks is the mind-of-its-own unpredictability regarding Speaker Sets. Early on (5-6 months ago), I tried without success to delete some sets I'd created as I was experimenting. So I gave up on that. I just tried it again, and now I CAN delete them. Even this is beyond the level of weirdness any Apple/ Mac person should have to put up with, but as far as I can tell, for an advanced audio card that works with a G4 Mac, the M-Audio Revolution is the only game in town. The sound quality is beyond amazing compared to a stock sound card - that much I can vouch for.

If you bought in a store it's even possible someone swapped a lower priced card for a higher priced one. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

PCI Cards under OS X 10.5.8 vrs 10.4.11
Is it unusual for a PCI card to show up under 10.5.8, but when I boot the same machine under 10.4.11, it does not show up? It is an M-Audio 2496 Audio PCI card, which I have not yet installed the drivers. Drivers do not work (very well) under 10.5.8, but supposedly will be fine under 10.4.11 ... it just doesn't show up under System Profiler in Tiger.
