Multichannel sound card setup

Hey!
I am trying to, in some way, enable multichannel output from my sound cards as a part of the default audio output from my MacBook Pro.
The main goal is to use four of the total 10 outputs i have available.
At the moment i have this hardware:
Usb sound card: Native instruments Core 1. 2 outputs, 2 inputs
Usb sound card: DAC driver, 2 outputs. These are actually a pair of Argon speakers which do have a USB input.
FireWire: Infrasonic Deux 0448. 4 outputs, 2 inputs.
Speakers:
Pair of Yamaha HS-50
Argon Speakers(not sure of model, it really does not matter)
Both of the speaker do have analog inputs.
I have merged all of these sound cards in all different constellations but I am still not able to make my macbook output audio in 4 channels as default. My main idea is to make the speakers work like a pair of stereo speakers. So I have one Yamaha speaker on top of an Argon speaker and they both play the same sound. So what I am really looking for is, not to merge two sound cards but, to merge output channels.
For example i want to deliver the same "left pan" audio to the hardware output on the Deux soundcard, say channel 1 and 3 is the left ones and 2 and 4 are the right ones. The problem is this: I only get audio from 1,2 or 3,4 not all four at the same time.
The Sound/Midi settings does not allow me to use quadraphonic output as a tool of delivering sound to all of the speakers. I don't understand this, is the quadraphonic setup only for quadraphonic designed sound only? Cause what i really do need is two pairs of stereo outputs, software wise.
Does anyone know how I can overcome this problem?
Any answers that can help me with this are welcome!
My MacBook Specs:
MacbookPro late 2011
Processor 2,2 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
OS X 10.9.5

OK, that link did help some. KDE isn't giving the error any more, but sound still isn't working, sort of.
I tried mpg321 and xmms on one of my mp3 files that I know works fine, both report that they are playing the file, but nothing comes out of the speakers. Yes, I've checked the volume on the speakers, they work fine in windows and redhat.
Info Center shows Sound Driver:3.8.1 a-980706 (ALSA v0.9 Orc3 emulation code)
My rc.local looks like:
modprobe snd-cs4236
modprobe snd-cs4236-lib
modprobe snd-pcm-oss
chown sasdav.users /dev/sound/*
And my modules.conf has:
alias sound-slot-0 snd-cs4236
alias eth0 3c59x
Obviously I'm missing something, any clue what it might be?

5.1 Sound Cards?

Does anyone know for sure if the M-Audio Revolution 5.1 sound card will work on my 733mhz Digital Audio?
I am running OSX 10.4.11 and would like to use my Creative Inspire speakers.
I've also seen this Griffin "Firewave" external card. Anyone have any first-hand experience with that?

Why not get the M-Audio Revolution 7.1? I'm using one on my G4 running 10.4.11, and it works fine. All options are supported except for 7.1 surround sound. I downloaded the most current driver (OS 10.4.6) from the link below.

The AVI Radeon X1900 XT video card in my Mac Pro Dual-Core went bad and I need to replace it. I found one that is $250 but I don't think that I need the gaming-type processor. I am using a 23" Apple Display. Are there lower cost options? -C

The Radeon X1900 XT video card went bad in my Mac Pro Dual-Core Intel Xeon. (I tried it with a good one at the office). I found one online that was $250. I don't need the gaming capacity of this card and was wondering if there were less expensive video cards that I could use in this machine. I run Adobe Creative Suites for graphics design and have a 23" Apply display. Thank you for any help that you can provide. -PretzelMcK

Then pick up the ATI 5770 AND upgrade to 10.6.8.
Same price for a good card that will work and helps to have 1GB VRAM.
There aren't any other real choices let alone less expensive.
Even the ebay links I had and not a lot of choices.

Ok. can any one tell me: will Final Cut Pro 6 fcs2 bundle) install on my GeForce 6600 LE Video Card on my G5 powerpc dual core 2.0? Thanks Much to anyone who can give me a definitive answer. also if not any fix aka .plist?

Look at this technical specs document, your system should be fine with the possible exception of Color.
As for managing your preference files, use Digital Rebellion's tool.
Good luck.

AirPort Extreme with Bluetooth 2.0+EDR Card for Apple Dual Core

Hello everybody,
Where can I buy the AirPort Extreme with Bluetooth 2.0+EDR card for a new Apple PowerMac G5 2.3 Dual core? What websites or locations in Los Angeles sell this card?
What workarounds are out there?
Thank you all for your answers.
Apple G5 Dual Core Mac OS X (10.4.3) HD Cinema Screen

The new Dual Core G5 machines do indeed come shipped in the base models without Bluetooth or Airport Extreme. There will be a solution available through the local ASP's (Apple Service Providers) and Apple Genius bars in the Apple owned Retail stores. Many of the store employees are not fully aware of the situation, however, they should be able to look up the issue in the Knowledge Base.
There is a service part (PN 661-3692), that should likely be available for future upgrades. At present, the part is constrained, and therefore restricted to exchange only repairs. You may want to contact a service provider or Apple Retail location to inquire on availability as an upgrade part, as it is currently not planned as a DIY (do it yourself) activity and would have to be obtained and installed by one of these service providers.

Aja Kona Card (Migrating from G5 to Mac Pro Dual-Core)

I own a small video production company.
I am migrating from an old G5 to a Mac Pro Dual Core given to me. The Aja Kona card doesn't fit into the Mac Pro Dual-Core, as the card slots are different.
Any way to adapt the G5 compatible card to the Mac Pro slots? I would only use for importing older analog media, as the newer HD stuff we shoot is brought in electronically.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
DW

Thanks, Grant.
I gave the G5 to my kids, so I'll probably just keep the Kona card/bundle in there until needed, hook up the appropriate VCR/VTR, and then dump the captured footage onto a HD to bring onto the Mac Pro. Too bad there isn't some internal/external adapter solution...

Need PCIE FW800 Expansion Cards For G5 Dual Core 2.0

Hi Gang
Seems like one is always behind the eight ball trying to get ahead.
With the only available PCIe FW800 Multi Port Cards, they've taken away anything that offers more than 2 Ports. Everything is 2 PORT ONLY. There's nothing that I can find. And the prices for PCIe Multi Port FW800 Cards are a whooping triple of standard PCI Cards.
The old issue;
Do Not put a 3rd PCIe card directly above the video card - DO NOT. I've already had overheating which spilled above in regard to my older Single 1.8 Can I trust the better cooling of the Dual Core to put a PCIE card directly above the Video Card?
If not, that leaves me with 2 PCIe Multi-Port Cards with 4 ports available total. But I need to read #5 External Storage drives total.
Unibrain repeater was recommended here, but can I read all 5 drives simultaneouly? SATA Card alternative? No Can Do - because #2 of these older external drives DO NOT have SATA control.

Hi direwolf
Hi japamac
Daisy Chaining (as stated by Steve), is not recommended. In fact, it's dangerous if you're depending on reliability for expensive, extensive Video Media. I would never ever do it again
I actually did buy two of these from OWC;
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Apiotek/IE1007/
BUT
Got problems; The cards went in like a breeze, but they're NOT reading any of the external Lacie Drives. The Native 800FW port in the G5 reads just fine, but the PCIe cards are not reading the Lacie's. Yes they are recogized in the system profiler. But I've got a mystery on my hands right now.

Video card upgrade for powermac g5 dual core

will the NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT Graphics Upgrade Kit for Mac Pro work with a PowerMac G5 Dual Core?

Unfortunately, no. Although both cards are PCI-Express the difference in the card's ROM (the G5 card needs an Open Firmware compatible ROM, whereas the Mac Pro needs an EFI compatible ROM) make them incompatible.
Assuming you currently have the nVidia GeForce 6600, you could upgrade to either the nVidia 7800GT (was originally a build-to-order option) or ATi's X1900GT. Both are available from OWC and are very similar in speed to each other. Both are considerably faster than the 6600.

Fastest Video Card for Mac Pro with Dual-Core Intel Xeon

Can anyone offer advise on whether I can update the video card in my Mac Pro Dual-Core Intel Xeon computer? I'm pretty sure i can but I have no idea how to upgrade and what to look for in video cards. I do know that I want something fast, hopefully faster than the current ATI Radeon X1900 XT for use with Aperture 3.0. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

K8t neo fis2r - core center not functional after installing sound card

Hi. I had been using Core Center with Dynamic Overclocking enabled and all was well. When idle, my amd64 3000+ (2.0ghz), was running at 800mhz. Under load it would go up to 2100mhz. But yesterday, I installed an Auzentech x-plosion sound card and after i installed the driver, the dynamic overclocking stopped working, my cpu is running at max all the time. (The variable fan speed function still works).
I checked the IRQ and there is no conflict, I uninstalled the amd64 driver and core center and reinstalled. Still does not work. I uninstalled the auzentech driver, rebooted, and cancelled new hardware wizard. Then the variable cpu frequency feature worked. Once I install the driver for the auzentech, dynamic oc stops working. I was thinking to try another pci slot but it appears to be a software issue rather than a hardware issue. The new version of Core Center does not work with my board even though msi says it's compatible so I'm still using the one that always worked. The amd driver is the latest and also always worked.
Has anyone else had a similar problem, perhaps using the auzentech sound card with this board and Core Center? Or does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hey guys, I just went to AMDs site to get the dashboard utility mentioned and in the readme, it stated that in XP, the power option needs to be set to portable/laptop. But in the past, I read that it needed to be set to "always on" and that it is, in fact, what I had it set to before when cool n quiet was working. Now I change it to "portable/laptop" and it works and set to "always on" doesn't work anymore. So now Core Center reports I'm at 33c @800mhz at no load. I don't get it??? I'll have to try an alternate utility just to verify that is indeed working.
btw, QV, I checked system properties, (right-click my computer > properties, or "system" in control panel) and on the "general" tab, it indicates an AMD64 3000+, 2.0GHz. But I'm pretty certain the clock frequency is dropping now as reported by core center because of the decrease in the cpu temp at idle. Am I looking in the right place in XP? I have XP pro, SP2
Again, thanks for the input and Happy New Year

Old bios - no dual core, new bios - no graphic card

Hello. I have a old computer with a MSI K8N Neo Platinum 2 that had the 1.5 bios version. I bought an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ Toledo and it wasn't being recognized as it should ("AMD Hammer Unknown Model") and only 1 core was being detected. I've updated the bios and it got recognized correctly and it's Windows experience score got from 4.2 to 5.1 and it is ok now I guess. But, with the updated bios my graphic card's driver fails to load. I tested several of them both from chipset and card manufacturer's and or they fail to load or I get a BSOD 0x50 . I've tried to find a bios version that didn't blow up the graphic card driver while fixing the dual core issue but the very version that fixes the dual core issue is the one that blows the graphic card driver. And it's name is "1.9". I tried all newer bios and the same happens with all of them. Basically, or I get dual core or I get graphic drivers. This all is happening on Windows 7 Home Basic but I'm afraid will happen on any operative system if it is a bios issue. I also changed agp related configurations in the bios but nothing changes. My graphic card is an ASUS AH4650 AGP.
Any help is appreciated.

That PSU you have now can be bought for a little as € 5 ($ 7), shipping costs are more expensive then that
I take this opportunity to pose another question to all of you friendly individuals that are helping me with my issue.
As I told you, this pc is dated and I don't really need the PSU to be that future proof. I see that you have only recommended units branded Corsair. In the shop where I buy this kind of stuff there are another brands so I'll leave you the list hoping you can recommend me one that fits this system and that is a little bit less expensive in case you can find a good match. Pardon me if I'm abusing of your time.
Site: http://www.novoatalho.pt/
In the left navigation menu, please chose "Componentes" - "Fontes de Alimentação", and select a brand of them or press the menu itself on "Fontes de Alimentação" to get a list of all of them.
Don't know how/if the memory I use makes it different but I have 4 dimms of 2GB combined. I was using only 1.5G but now with the new firmware the motherboard is handling 1GB + 500MB + 250MB + 250MB. The rest is hard disks and cd drives, I'm not even using a PCI card.
If you still just recommend Corsair, is absolutely fine.
Btw, another thing, please remember that this motherboard has a VGA slot not PCI-E. Don't know if that changes something for the PSU.

Hi there!
So you got a dual core machine huh?
Let's narrow down your choices.
The Radeon 2600 and the 3870 are Mac Pro cards. They won't work in the G5.
Forget the X1300 as well.
The Radeon X1900 is a possible candidate, but it must be the G5 Edition X1900 GT. The one that you linked is for Intel macs (Mac Pro).
In fact, all cards that you linked are not candidates for the G5.
Here are your choices from slower to faster:
Geforce 6600 256MB
Geforce 7800GT
Radeon X1900GT G5 Edition
Quadro FX 4500
Geforce 7800 GTX
Check performance comparisons:

G5 Dual Core 10.4 - Finally a PCIe eSATA card that works!

Happy Holidays!
I recently posted a few queries/complaints about FirmTek's PCIe cards used in an older Dual Core 2.0. Unfortunately my personal experience has not been a good one. Poor communication and initial refusal of RMA; the list is lengthy. After months of tedious thorough testing, I can only conclude the drivers on their web site, are incompatible with 10.4.11. But thanx to OWC, and DAT Optic, I finally found a PCIe eSATA card that works. In fact I'm using a DAT Optic 2 port card and 4 port card in total harmony with each other.
In my opinion, the SeriTek 2ME4-E-4 design emphasis was probably geared more toward use in a Mac Pro with 10.5 and above. After two system formats, and the failure of two different FirmTek PCIe cards, that was enough for me.
Final success came with; http://eshop.macsales.com/item/DAT+Optic/ESATAPCIE21B/ (and) http://eshop.macsales.com/item/DAT%20Optic/ESATAPCIE8/
One BIG advantage with DAT Optic are the numerous readily available drivers directly from the Silicon Image web site. And their tech support is first class.
All of this is good news for users of older Power Mac G5's.
Enjoy!
Mike

Hi Chris
Whatever the situation was with 10.4.10, or 10.4.11, I had to conclude that FirmTek's drivers were not doing the job for 10.4.11 - The condescending technician was basically ignoring my remark that this card just doesn't work with my set up. Neither could their 2 port card work.
I had to argue my point repeatedly, (shouldn't have to do that).
In any event, I'm rolling pretty good with these 2 bay OWC clearance eSATA enclosures, (got 4 of them). No bridge, just good ole eSATA connections. Sure took long enough to get to this place.
Happy Holidays
Mike
