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

[Dajjal]

​

I'm making this thread in the Hopes of building a database of Working Pro Audio Interfaces.I will update the list as entries come in and maybe we can add it to the Wiki as well..............

It would be a good idea to state your Specs & Document any problems with as much detail as possible......

PS: I know there are similar threads but hopefully this can become a sticky so new users as well as long time users can visit here when they plan to upgrade/buy..............

Re: Audio Interfaces.........

Hi Guys!

I've got an Edirol FA-101 Firewire Audio Card! On the firewire port it's appearing but the osx didn't see it at the preferences! Somebody to help?

Re: Audio Interfaces.........

@21plusonly
From looking at your system info u're running a laptop with the edirol right?May i suggest your see if your FW chipset is Texas Instruments or not....
Also you may want to Double check your ''Hack'' files that makes OSX work,Start in Verbose mode,check your Console logs etc...........

Taken from Roland's site
Note: There is no driver necessary for Mac OS X. You must be running 10.3.7 or higher.

Thanks for the answer, in this moment it works normally, but i didn't do anything! The firewire is ricoh and the first was the roland site! I'll try to keep it!

Re: Audio Interfaces.........

Re: Audio Interfaces.........

I have a Motu 828mkIII and a M-Audio Delta-66 PCI still to be tested in deep, anyway flawlessly working with SL 10.6.6

[EDIT - August 6, 2011]

Delta-66 flawlessly working under 10.6.8 and MotU Digital Performer with Envy24 Drivers.

[EDIT - August 7, 2011]
I had to reinstall HD Audio Output Drivers (ALC883 Audio OK.dmg) because after having rebuilt permissions, Envy24 Drivers took the place and I had no audio output from the green port.

[EDIT - October 12, 2011]
Actually the Delta-66 was moved to a somewhat-new hackintosh, based on a G31M-ES2L, Core 2 Duo E8500, 4GB RAM and 8400GS GPU, running OSX 10.6.8
I can select either Envy24 or ALC883 output and everything works without hassles.
