Hi welcome to the club a8nsli,
with OS X my board made quite a revival in december 08 I could not believe
that OS X was so superior to anything MS is proposing.

When I was running Vista or XP the onboard audio made horrible audio glitches so
I installed (few years back) creative sound blaster audigy 2 ZS and wich works
perfectly with Eugene Gavrilov's kexts

But I have also a creative audigy SE wich does not work!
I tried different things but no way.

Good luck.
