Hi dear all,
I searched for it but found only one success posting, so let me please ask, if
the creative x-fi pci is supported and how to get it to a functional state.
I'm using iAtkos 10.5.7 with Chameleon 2
any tips how to get this card working are extremly welcome.
what i tried so far:
-copied IOAudioFamily.kext and OSvKernDSPLib.kext from S/L/E to /E/E
-installed VoodooHDA0.2.2 with kext helper
-copied VoodooHDA.kext from /S/L/E to /E/E
-rebooted with -f
I'm only getting sound out of my Asus P5K onboard sound plug. My x-fi is still silent.
did I miss something? Am I completly wrong?
If you feel (like me) that I dont know what I did there, please point me to the correct links to read and learn about these topics. OSX86 is brand new for me...
have a nice week

I had to deactivate my onboard audio through the BIOS before the VoodooHDA kext would work for the X-Fi (though maybe some futzing around in System Prefs to change the output device may do the job as well). As for installation, I did nothing more than drop the extension into kext helper and reboot (may have been with -f; wouldn't hurt to add it).
I have my doubts about the PCI version working though. The PCI-E X-Fi cards use the newer EMU20k2 chipset, have an actual HDA connector for case-front audio, and work in Vista/7 with the generic driver. This leads me to believe that they support Intel's HD Audio spec to some measure (and I wouldn't be surprised if this was a Vista-logo demand from Microsoft).

thanks a lot!
I'll give it a try when I'm back home.
If it works, you'll buy you a virtual beer or two ;-)

I really need, at least, the digital output of my x-fi pciex working.
Any hope? ???
