hey, i have the m-audio 5.1 PCI sound card for os/x installed in my G4 800mhz tower and I have always used it for several different things... mostly the digital out for watching of DVDs in 5.1 But just recently, I have a problem. I have been using it in tiger with success for a while now, but just recently I did something stupid to OS/x and had to reinstall... I redownloaded what drivers I could find on M-audios site for this card, I had to look under the 10.3.8 section to find a driver, in the 10.4.X sections, nothing was listed for the card... so I downloaded what I could find, it installed fine with no problems... the 6 channel analog out works great with no problems at all, then I tried to watch a movie. In DVD player preferences I selected the Digital SPDIF output, sound comes through... but it pops and clicks and its VERY annoying, I have tried uninstalling and installing the drivers... but no luck. I even tried a different audio receiver to see if that was the problem, but I got the same result, but what is weird... when I go to Audio Midi Setup in the utilities folder, and set my default system output to Digital Out... I have no problem, no pops or clicks... crystal clear. What is up with this? I think it could be just an OS/x tiger issue but I'm not exactly sure. Am I using the wrong drivers or something? Does anybody know? Could it be some other hardware device conflicting or causing problems ( ram or something of the sort )? Any help is appreciated, thanks! PS: I also noticed, when I go to Audio MIDI Setup if I change my digital out to 192khz, no signal is put out.. the highest I can go is 172khz
