Creative 5.1 Speaker Driver For Mac
Creative Labs produces a wide variety of powered speaker systems designed for use with computers. Installing Creative speakers depends upon the type of speaker system and your computer. We'll examine the installation of common 7.1, 5.1, and 2.1 Creative speakers. Best audio software for 5.1 speakers. Took Creative nearly 6 months to release updated drivers, which is a ridiculous for a Sound card that cost $200 new, is PCIe, and is around 5 years old.
Creative Speakers Drivers
I ordered a few cables to get both my PC and powerbook hooked up to my old creative extigy sound card, hoping I could then listen to either through my 5.1 speaker set. I’d used the extigy on the mac before, and it certainly does detect it and play sound.
Creative 5.1 Speaker Driver For Mac Pro
Unfortunately I hadn’t paid much attention to the rear speakers. It turns out creative never released any drivers for the mac, so not only can I not get proper 5.1 surround sound, the CMSS feature won’t work either. So that was a waste of time and money, considering I can get the same sound from a normal stereo cable. Apparently the newer macbooks (hopefully mine included) have optical audio out, but I’m not sure I want to buy the cable to find out? As a “sort of” fix, I’m going to play music using parallels running Windows XP. I don’t think I’m ever going to get away from Windows for good.
П™ x81 Author Posted on Categories. Hey, I wanted to use the extigy sound card as well for my mac mini, bought at the end of 2008, it worked fine, but after I upgraded my os x to 10.5.7, the extigy card does not appear in the sound settings in my system preferences, now i have to use the digital out, but I can then only control the speakers manually from the controller that followed my speakers. I have four speakers and a sub, and to get the rear speakers to work, I used a connector for two audio outputs from the extigy, so it plays the same sound in all 4 speakers, not the ideal solution, but, hey, I can’t let two speakers collect dust. But back to my problem, do you know if it’s possible to rollback the os x update, just to check that it might be why I can see the extigy card in my system preferences?
