Rating:  - M-AUDIO Revolution 5.1 for MAC PPC G4-G5
The card still needs some work to support features for games that come out for MAC G4 and G5 (PCI-X) systems. A recent BETA driver has been released for LEOPARD (10.5.X) and fixes the problem with the audio console not popping up in the System Preferences pane. DVD movies play great from the card: in particular through it's digital coax system as well as it's analog connection.
Games like QUAKE 4 and DOOM 3 have issues with the Revolution 5.1. Quake will either have the sound "popping" ... Read More
Rating:  - Works Fine For Me
I am only using this card for a stereo desktop hookup, with a pair of M-Audio AV-40 speakers. Why buy a 5.1 card for just a stereo setup? Because I wanted the M-Audio brand, as well as the capability for future multi-speaker setups.
This card does not come with overblown software that has all sorts of sound effects and environments, most of which are useless. If you want something that cleanly reproduces the sound source and relays it to your speakers, then this is the one to get.

Rating:  - Sounds decent but kinda squirrely

After installation of the card and drivers from the supplied CD the default output was set to analog. Definitely above average sound quality. Tried switching to digital - couldn't get it to output from the coax digital out at first, but then for some unexplainable reason it ... Read More
Rating:  - In Brief, Use Caution
Having installed the product according to instructions, I found it disabled all sound files and gave me a black screen. The only means of recovery was to reboot, and the only remedy for the product's interference was to remove the card and all its drivers. Highly unacceptable behavior for a product, and I returned it.
Rating: - Dissappointing
I've studied the user manual, installed and reinstalled the drivers, but am left with the following unfortunate situation to report:
With my All-in-Wonder 9800Pro, when I capture video, the sound captures with the video in some sessions, not in others. Very strange. Never had this problem with my SoundBlaster.
The "Output Mixer" tab never shows any signals, no matter what other tabs' settings are chosen.
No bass/treble adjustments, so I have to route the sound thru an external ... Read More
