I have this damn 4 speaker setup so I want to get my money's worth before I trash all the shit and set it on Creative's doorstep smothered in poop in a bag and set on fire. Regardless, I'm still a Sound Blaster owner and still use it.

Inside Mac Games actually went back and rescored their review when it came apparent that Creative sucks really hard in terms of Mac support.

of course if you don't play games on you Mac then you probalby wouldn't know where to look, so it's quite understandable that a bunch of people in this forum would miss the SBL reviews. The card was targeted for gamers so it'd make sense to check out the mac gaming sites. Inisdemacgames and Mac Gamer both had reviews of SBL! for Mac. There's a bunch of info around, you just need to know where to look. If you want to read about the trials and tribulations of the Mac Sound Blaster, check out the audio forum at xlr8yourmac and do a search. From what I've heard, no one could get 3D positional sound working correctly. Unforunately, OpenAL support on the Mac died rather quickly, and all the developers gave up (Creativce sucks.), because of the lack of support. Westlake Interactive was working on a version of UT using OpenAL.
#CREATIVE EXTIGY DRIVERS FOR MAC CODE#
If a Mac game was going to get audio hardware acceleration, the sound code would have to use the OpenAL API. All sound in OS 9 has to be processed by the Sound Manager (thus getting downsampled to stereo sound), and then sent off to whatever hardware was available for effect processing, such as EAX. Not only that but, no games could take advantage of audio hardware acceleration thanks in large part to Apple's damn Sound Manager. One of the managers of the Mac engineering efforts tried to work a deal so that OmniGroup could work on the drivers, but Creative was too cheap. So the drivers that were reported to be released in July 2001 have just reached final candidate1 status as of a couple days ago.

The Creative upper management is full of a bunch of dumbasses who basically fired all the people that were pushing the Mac development along.
#CREATIVE EXTIGY DRIVERS FOR MAC DRIVER#
I'd say the biggest reason why the card hasn't done very well is the lack of driver support. And since I spend 90% of my time on my main computer in OS 9, I use the Sound Blaster quite a bit. I like having the sound coming from in front and in back. 4.1 speaker set up sounds great even if it's just stereo. I enjoy the EAX sound in the 4-6 games the feature is offered in. I own and still use my Mac Sound Blaster. Less stuff that has to get plugged in when you set up, the better.Įspecially if you aren't setting up permanent house. Granted, PCI card won't do any good on an iMac, but same concept applies for a G4. If I had to bring an external USB or FireWire device, that's one more thing. I bring in iMac (rev C w/ 433 G4 upgrade), keyboard/mouse, power chord.īoot OS X, launch Audiocorder, let her rip. I want PCI 'cuz the less cables I have to have, the better. I'd rather have a PCI one, but FireWire would make me happy. I would be happy with a FireWire sound card. I don't know if that is true with FireWire or not, I doubt it- cuz FireWire is the standard for digital video. My understanding is that there are timing issues with usb and audio input. Couple of USB things around, and there's hope for Creative's own USB products. aoeu might be having his quality troubles not because of the iMic, but because of the weird unbalanced-gain issues OS X was having for a while, where the gain on one stereo channel would be set to max, and the gain on the other would be nil (or something like that). Like some other vendors who shall go nameless, Creative Labs blame the market for not buying an inferior product (inferior driver-wise, not hardware-wise), then throw up their hands and complain about how there's no money to be made in the Mac market.Īs far as sound troubles with the iMic, mine also works fine for what it is. Since then, there's no indication that CL will be developing 10.x drivers, since the response to their Mac-compatible card was so poor. Once I gave up my quest for the card, I read in various fora about how buggy the 9.x drivers were for the card, and how CL was pretty indifferent to updating/fixing them. The real reason, I expect, was that an overseas sale was just too bloody hard. The end result was, because I live in Sydney, they were unwilling to sell me a card, because of overseas fraud fears. I tried very hard to buy the SoundBlaster Live! from Creative Labs last year, only to be jerked around by their sales dept and customer "service" drones.
