M-Audio Audiophile 2496 finally on Mountain Lion with sleep, 64-bit

[jleed]

Still going strong on Mavericks!

It wouldn't work at first but I re-installed, got a warning it would be loaded even though not from a signed developer, and then re-booted.

After reboot I could not get any app to produce sound through it, I was about to give up but to my surprise discovered that clicking the test buttons in the Audio-MIDI setup utility worked as normal.

I then created an aggregated audio device using the outputs as needed (in my case 9+10 which is SPDIF) and YES, success.

Sleep works, haven't tested autosleep yet but it worked fine in ML so I do not expect issues here either.

Not sure about my signaturen ATM but this is on a GA-Z77-DS3H v1.0 with HD6870, no DSDT.

Also, I installed the appropriate ALC and AppleHDA kexts as per the most recent Multibeast.

Can you post you configs, have same board, mavericks, but no success with audio from Envy24, clicking test buttons giving no sound

Hi everyone, just checking back in to say that after having used my Delta Audiophile for years up until and including Yosemite, I finally have thrown the towel after installing El Capitan (now using clover instead of chimera). The driver that still worked fine in Yosemite is very unstable in 10.10.5 and crashes the whole system. I've given up and thought this was an excellent excuse to get a Yamaha AG03 USB mixer/audio card

Not sure if it still helps anyone, but I herewith attach the driver that I used with and worked fine in my Yosemite set-up (no additional installation steps needed; just throw this on top of a vanilla Yosemite install).

Hi! I'm thinking of start using my old Audiophile 2496 in Yosemite. Did you have to stay on 10.10.4 and Chimera/Unibeast bootloader? Doesn't the driver work with Clover and the latest Yosemite 10.10.5?

Thanks!

@ PetBys : If you want to use it without any hacks or workarounds then use 10.10.4.

I have had similar problems since i updated to 10.10.5, as an interim solution i have discovered that using
kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/Envy24HTPCIAudioDriver.kext > /dev/null before sleeping,
and
kextload /System/Library/Extensions/Envy24HTPCIAudioDriver.kext > /dev/null after sleeping seems to solved the issue.
