Works after a bit of fiddling.......2007-04-19

I'm using this to get audio out of a Mac Mini, which I'm using to stream DVD content. Working from an online tip, I selected "internal speakers" from the sound control panel, and then the transit from within apple's DVDPlayer, and everything is fine. This is contrary to the instructions that came w/ it.

Sound is choppy w/ VLC, but I haven't investigated yet.

This is w/ a PPC mini, 10.4.9.

M-Audio Feedback.......2007-03-09

This product was returned as it did not meet my needs. The issue was due to very poor audio quality when playing back music to my home theater system. I have since purchased a simular product from a different vendor for half the price that works great..

10/10 performance - 7/10 price.......2007-01-10

M-Audio makes a great little unit here, but the price could have been better. This is also a great little add-on for the Mac Mini. This unit supports 5.1 surround sound, great for watching movies from your computer.

Better off with something else that actually works.......2006-10-14

This is the entry-level for getting a digital audio stream from your Mac to an external DAC.

Unfortunately, it just didn't work for me, due to abolutely terrible drivers. I tried the native driver intall as posted, but I still experienced numerous freezes and crashes on my iBook. I also heard buzzing whenever the hard drive was reading or writing data. Oh, and playing audio seemed to really tax the CPU, to the point where the iBook was practically unuseable for anything else.

I switched to an Airport Express and couldn't be happier. No problems with sound quality, no freezes or crashes, and there's no noticeable load on the CPU.

Great audio quality but a few usability issues.......2005-09-29

The audio quality from this USB sound card is great. However, the input and output jacks are labeled very confusingly, and I have to use trial and error each time I hook it up.

Also, the drivers perform flawlessly, but the installation is not at all automated -- you have to hunt around on the CD to find the right files for your operating system.
