I just bought a G5 Dual Processor Mac, and am in the market for a sound card.
I've searched and browsed the forums looking for advice, and found many topics on what cards don't work (such as the M-Audio and Delta-44) with the new G5's, but not much on what does work. I don't need much from my sound card. Mostly I want to have an additional sound output port, so I can use it with Live or DJ software so I can save the built in port for cueing sounds. Maybe later it might be nice to have a midi input, or a surroud sound outport, but that's not essential for now. I'm looking for something inexpensive, under $200. With my last system I tried a usb adapter, but man that thing blows and is always cutting out. Hoping that an internal card would work better. Any advice? |

It seems the fools at apple think the dual 2gig G5 has pci-x as well.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300355 Oh well time to retire All's I know is that the old RME cards only work in the G5 after being modified and mine works great, including full ADAT in and out. Cheers and beers from the UK |
