Understand there’s a “Sound” caveat that needs attention
but maybe the M-Audio Transit (or other similar USB device)
may eventually be implemented as a viable working solution?
From DieHard...
The real challenge for our DAW members is to get QEMU for work with a USB Audio/MIDI device, I have not been successful
There are several "USB pass-thru" commands that will send USB device info into the emulator, then in theory, you could load the Mac OS 9 drivers, for the device and launch Logic, Cubase, or PT with sound !
I tried to get the M-Audio transit to work... it was recognized in OS9, but still did not function, I am hoping a member will find a usable USB audio device than we can port thru the emulator; for now QEMU is a silent world
There is a "screamer" version of QEMU that has system sound, but I have not found a working version of that either
We need to hunt down the right combination of ancient USB hardware, OS9 Drivers, QEMU USB passthru commands to achieve a working emulator that can actually become the world's first
QEMU emulator with working DAW system. I appeal to any members that own both newer macs and older macs and Audio interfaces.
I don't think there is a working Firewire pass-thru command for QEMU, but there has been luck with USB devices...
After getting the vendor and product id of the device (audio interface), add a similar command to the qemu.command script
-device usb-host,vendorid=0x16b2,productid=0x1001Then load the drivers for the device is OS 9, I tried this with an M-Audio USB transit, it was seen in the OS9 system profiler, but the drivers did not work
I am hoping a member can come up with a working USB device is OS 9 and actually get CuBase, Logic, or PT to see it
