Hi,
No, MacPro/Intel PCIe cards will NOT work.

  • Sound Blaster X-FI Pci Express Front Panel Not working right Win7

    Hello,
    I have a fresh install of Win7x64 OEM. First, I want to say that I have "AUTOMATICALLY MUTE SPEAKERS" UNCHECKED under the Headphone detection tab. I have tried "Automatically Enable Headphone Settings" checked or unchecked. No difference.
    As soon as I plug in headphones to the front panel connector , the speakers in the mixer say "disconnected" (see below) and the SPDIF becomes the default output. There is no way for me to change this. And there isn't any sound coming from the headphones when plugged into the front panel. (the mic front panel works fine)
    I am using the nati've Win7 drivers for the card. Apparently the Win 7 drivers on your site are older than the nati've ones.
    This worked fine in Windows XP 32. Any ideas.

    Ok guys this is how I fixed the problem on my X-Fi PCI-Express. Open the Creative SB X-Fi Volume panel. Mine is set in game mode and I have 5 vertical sliders for Line-In /Mic, MIDI Synth, Digital-In, and the last one will say one of three things either Digital-In, Microphone, or Mirophone FP. At the top of the?slider there is a tab which brings up a drop down menu. Mine was default set to Digital-In, I switched it to Mirophone FP (tried Microphone first and it worked but the FP sounds better for me) and cranked it all the way up and my problem was solved. Very frustrating one though as there is no documentation that led me to the fix it was just playing around with it till I could figure it out.
    I hope this at least helps some of you out.

  • For some reason, the Flash Player on my MAC Pro stopped working, I've checked the install on my Adobe Flash Player and the are current, but the plug-ins don't seem to be working.  Can anyone help me get it working?

    For some reason, the Flash Player on my MAC Pro stopped working, I've checked the install on my Adobe Flash Player and the are current, but the plug-ins don't seem to be working.  Can anyone help me get it working?

    It happened w/ my MacPro 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon about 5 months ago; tried everything I could think of including multiple downloads of Flash, and hadn't seen any solutions here.  Adobe insisted many times that I download & update, but the newest vers. wouldn't work on the computer.
    On checking Adobe/Flash was reading the computer as being an earlier model. So the new version of Flash wouldn't work w/ it.  Snow Leopard 10.6.8 was being read correctly but not the computer model (can't remember what MP model  it was reading).
    Nothing worked. So -- a very old PC trick: If nothing else works get the hammer out and bludgeon it-- might work. So I reset everything by putting the Snow Leopard  install disk in, held down 'C' on restart and let it run. 
    Didn't take anything off the HDD first, just ran the install disk over everything.
    The experts on the forums are probably cringing right now & I'd like very much for them to jump in. Love to know how my computer model was being mis-read. All I can say is, for the brave and desparate, it worked for me. Something to keep in mind.
    It helped that I had a new computer on order & have 2 backups, one being mandatory. Might work only the one time but worth a check.
    Good luck on working this one out.

  • Anyone know if Penryn will be in mac pros within the month?

    Anyone know if Penryn will be in mac pros within the month?
    I've been waiting to get a mac for a long time. Hoping to finally get one with leopard and the new penryn processors.

    There has been some talk that Apple would announce upgrades to their Mac Pro line today to follow up on Intel's announcement. However, the top of range 3.0 Ghz Quad-core CPUs are 'only' available in their 80 Watt design yet (same consumption as current quad models used in the eight-core). Now, with Intel having announced a 65W version and Apple's drive for VERY low noise level, I'd not be surprised if Apple were to hold back until the 65 Watt edition is available.
    But these are just my personal musings, I have no inside information.

  • Will a 2006 Mac Pro (running Lion) accept a usb3 pcie card?

    I have a Mac Pro (2006-running Lion 10.7.5, Build 11G63). Is there any way that it will recognize and accept a USB PCIe Card?

    I think you would do find to narrow it down from generic - and yes of course you can, I do on mine and am using Allegro USB3 2-port from Sonnettech.com
    Chips change and some people have trouble or it works but not the way that they want or expected.
    Check out OWC www.macsales.com and then check for specific cards.

  • PCI express 800 firewire card not working. Why?

    Hi,
    I want to run a DV device for capturing video and a Lacie hard drive for storage so I bought a firewire 800 PCI express card. It does not recogize my drive or my camera. Does anyone know the score on this? If I run two drives on one bus, it's so bloody slow I can't work. So I was hoping that a 2nd bus would really help but I'm not getting anywhere with this PCI Express card. I have the Mac Book Pro 17" laptop.
    Thanks!

    Hello from Virginia,
    What are your MBPro specs and are they compatible with the card you purchased.
    I capture through the onboard FW800 port and use an Expresscard/34 card which gives me two eSata connections to my external HDs...works great.
    Give us more details about the laptop and the card...make, model, compatibility...etc.

  • Bought internal bluetooth card in 5 year old Mac Pro; not working right?

    Bought internal bluetooth adaptor for my 5 year old Mac Pro. It searches for bluetooth devices, but dosn't find bluetooth devices; any advice?
    I secured it interlanly with the two screws supplied. Had replacement card sent out, but same thing?
    Using it with Apple Magic Mouse. I know mouse works as I tried it on friends new iMac.
    Using latest Snow Leopard, and have seperate boot drive with Lion. Dosn't work on either.
    Bluetooth ikon shoes in bar at top, and all software functions normally, just dosn't detect anything?
    Thanks.

    Try smc and pram reset.

  • Will ATI Radeon HD 5800 card work with Premier Pro CS5 Mercury engine?

    Hi There:
    I've been using Premeier Elements 7 for the last 2 years and am about to buy Premeier Pro CS5. But having read the video card requirements I'm confused.
    Will my video card work with PP CS5 and the Mercury playback engine? My card is the ATI Radeon HD 5800 with 1 gig memory?
    The dealer specifically sold me that 18 months ago so I would be able to move to Premiere Pro with no problem. I have an Intel Core 17 with 10 gigs of ram and a great ASUS motherboard.
    Thanks,
    Rudy

    Hi Harm:
    Thanks for the reply. I checked my RAM and in fact it is 12 gigs. I got it put in 18 months ago when I bought the system. I had to use Windows XP back then. Anyway, I now need to change to Windows 7 and Premiere Pro.
    I had no idea back then that I was buy the wrong video card for Premiere Pro.
    I am not familiar with the terms you and the other two respondants have used in your replies, and I have no idea what it means that my system will run 10 times slower than if I had a NVIDIA, whatever it means it sounds bad. Which is really too bad because I spent a small fortune buying one of the fastest card available at the time.
    What do you suggest I now do?
    1) Just use my system as is? It sounds like my performance will be terrible, so should I really go this route? I will be editing MPG2 codec from a Canon XF100 shot at 50 mbps.
    2) Should I try to sell off my ATI card and buy one of the recommended cards?
    3) Should I just go to the Sony Vega Pro systems?
    Your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Rudy

  • Will the new ATI graphics card work on PowerMac G5 Quad?

    Hello,
    I'm having a problem with my PowerMac G5 Quad, simply the graphics card is at fault. The rest of the machine is in perfect working order. I need a new graphics card and i've searched ebay (UK) and found some products. However, I would like a new graphics card with a little more power.
    As I develop code using the OpenCL API on the windows machine, I would like to transfer this process over to my Mac (have to install OpenCL API myself, as Leopard does not have native OpenCL support). More importantly, OpenCL supports selected GPU types i.e. latest GPUs from ATI/Nvidia.
    Simply put, would anyone know or have experience installing the newer ATI/NVIDIA generation of Mac Graphic cards on PowerMac G5 Quads and if so, which graphic card (ATI RADEON 4850 etc).
    As I think about this, both PowerMac G5 Quad and Mac Pro utilise PCI-E and yes, even though graphics cards are not particularly interchangeable on different architectures (or are they?) I would just like to know if anyone can give me advice or if anyone has had success or failure at such an attempt.
    I really cannot afford to buy a Mac Pro machine and there is still many years of life left in my PowerMac G5. I really need your help and advice friends.

    Hi-
    Welcome to Discussions!
    No modern card will work in a G5.
    The best that one can do in a PCIe graphics G5 is to use a flashed Geforce 7800 GTX 512MB card.
    That card is the pinnacle of GPU power for a G5.
    There are no options beyond that.
    Here is a full, "short" list of options:

  • Early 2009 Mac Pro FireWirenot working with Hitachi/SimpleTech DuoPro drive

    So I've got an early 2009 Mac Pro that is loaded with Bootcamp and Vista64. I am looking for an external raid option that works for Windows and didn't have any luck with any eSata PCIe card so I thought I would just use a firewire device. So I picked up a 2TB Duo Pro drive by SimpleTech.
    My firewire ports work fine with other devices, but not with this drive and not with either operating system. It works fine though USB, but just doesn't do anything with either firewire 400 or 800.
    Any thoughts?

    I have an early 2008 iMac and I have the exact same drive by Simpletech, 2TB Duo Pro. It does work on FW800 but connects at 400 UNLESS you power the drive on and plug it in while OS X is up and running, then the connection will be 800. Anyhow, I would make sure you have a good FW cable and also try the FW400 cable that came with it. I bought a FW800 cable and it worked fine so unless the Mac Pro and iMac use different FW hardware, I think it IS compatible.
