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? |

I bought my G5 a few months ago & the only advice I can give you is, DONT BUY ANYTHING FROM MAUDIO!!!!!!!
Been trying to get my PCI Delta 66 (new model) to work for months, seems like evrybody else that has bought a Pci based soundcard for DP 1.8 has been having lots of grief too. Have been told there are issues now with Digidesign gear now too!!! If anyone has a DP 1.8 with a working audio card, please let me know and pass on the good news. Hope that helps. |
