Confirmed Audio Interfaces (Hobbyist/Pro-sumer/Pro) & Drivers - Mac OS X

Hello Guys,

Is there a way to get a Creative Sound Blaster Z (PCIe) working on a Mac Os X El Capitan (10.11.6)?
I'm using it on windows and blown away about it's power and sound but sadly I didn't find a driver yet.
It would be ok if the sound would just work I don't need perfect and quality sound just...something.

Waiting for reply

Regards.:
Janos

Maybe, check and see if your precise model is on the list :

Thanks for your answer, I couldn't find it. I tried to look for "soundblaster z". Any ideas?

Other than drivers provided by Creative Labs the Kxproject is the only other way that I am aware of to get a SoundBlaster working in OS X. If it is not on their list of supported cards then the chances of it happening are slim.
 
Just wanted to add here that I installed the latest MOTU Driver package for the 8Pre (Firewire)- all is working well in El Capitan 10.11.6.

I have a hackintosh LGA2011 working with OSX 10.10.6, Nvigia GTX 980 Pro, 48gb ram, gigabyte ga.x79s-up5-wifi running an Avid Omni connected to the native card. Pro tools 12.5.2 with C24 connected. I also have 3 octo cards running my Universal Audio plugins. I also have 3 Apple Cinema Displays. My Sistem is a Hackintosh and it runs as my main sistem in my studio, so, I really trust it that much.
Nice work guys!
