XonarSTDeluxeDriver

A very hacky port of the Xonar Essence ST/STX driver for Linux to macOS. See: https://github.com/polachok/xonar-freebsd

Working:

  • Volume/mute controls
  • Select output channel (speakers and rear HP)
  • Audio playback

Known Issues:

  • Only 2 output channels
  • Output format 192KHz doesn't work
  • No support for input devices yet
  • Device fails to wake on sleep. Probably need to implement power management
  • The DMA buffer is a giant contiguous chunk of memory. I think this makes the latency pretty bad

Troubleshooting:
If you only hear static output when trying to play sound:
Try using a different system definition

Working definitions:

  • iMac 14,2
  • MacPro6,1

NOT working definitions:

  • iMac17,1

If the audio sounds sped up/slowed down:
Try setting a different output format in "Audio Midi Setup.app"
