I can see it as an available audio device alright, and I can select it-but there's no sound from ANY application.
#Mackie onyx mac osx compatibility mac
Although the Mac G5 "sees" the Mackie Onyx board, it isn't using it. In messing around tonight and trying several different things, I stumbled upon a solution. Well, I think I've solved the dilemma, although I am honestly not sure I understand it. I've repaired the permissions on the drive, and I also created another user with Admin privileges.neither action worked.
The other option is to keep messing with the G5, to see if I can get the sound to play again. I have a working Tiger system disk, but TM wasn't added until Leopard, so I cannot get at the "Restore" feature with Tiger. So that means I'll indeed need to buy a Leopard system disk, if I want to restore from the TM backup. The only problem with that is that I don't have a working system disk, because the store couldn't sell me one.they simply installed the OS from their external HD and charged me $50.

So after about 2 hours of messing with this, the only thing I can think to do is to restore the system from the Time Machine backup I did, after installing LE9, FCS, and all the other software I installed right after the store installed the OS. So it's definitely a problem between the G5 and the Mackie again. And when I switch the preferences back to "Use Internal Audio" and run a cable from the speaker output on the G5 to two channels (stereo) on my Mackie, there is sound from any application that plays sound (Firefox, Safari, LE, iTunes, etc). (Basically, it's configured exactly as it was earlier today when I had it working.) In fact, I cannot even hear sound from the Mackie using ANY application on the G5-so it isn't specific to LE9 by any means. I set this up in both System Preferences > Sound, and in LE9's Preferences area. I have no clue what's going on, because although I can set the G5 to use the Mackie as both an input and an output device, I don't get any sound-nor does the signal from the mics make it to the G5. Today I was recording with the rig, and then tonight when I was working with the machine, the audio stopped working on the Mackie/G5 interface. It would see all the inputs and accept the output from the G5, and from LE9. So I've been using the Mackie as a sound card ever since, and started recording in LE9 with it today in fact.
The machine recognized my Mackie Onyx board, and life was good. But the installation disk I was using must have been goofy or something, because when I took the machine to a local independent Apple dealer about 30 miles from my house, they installed OS X 10.5.4, and suddenly all firewire features worked. When I first installed 10.5, I had this problem. I can no longer get my Mac G5 to recognize my Mackie Onyx board.
