C-media Usb 5.1 Sound Card Driver
.NoteThis is broken in Mac OS X 10.15 ‘Catalina’. First of all, the installer no longer works because of stricter security. Moreover, the program is not 64-bit, so it still won't run even if you would be able to bypass the installer. Because I no longer use this kind of sound card and have little time to work on this, I have zero motivation fo fix this. Do not expect any help if you mail me for support.
Your best option if you have a minimum of experience with XCode, is to and try to build a 64-bit binary. If you succeed, it would be nice if you could send me either that binary or a link to where it can be downloaded, so other people can also use it. Even better would be if you would share it as a GitHub project or the like.If the installer still works on your machine but you get an error “e00002c5,” then.This is a small program that activates the analog and S/PDIF outputs on USB devices that are based on the C-Media CM6206 multi-channel sound chip (sometimes also referred to as CMI6206). One of the common cheap devices sold on eBay that uses this IC can be seen in the photo at the right.

It is a 5.1 device but the IC supports up to 7.1 audio. The one I bought had a serial number “29776659” but there are other products that use this IC. Some major brands also use this chip, for instance Zalman uses it in their ZM-RS6F USB headphones. The Sweex SC016 is also based on the CM6206, as is the Diamond XS71U.The CM6206 chip is a fully compliant USB audio device that should work as-is on any modern operating system without requiring drivers. At first sight it does work: the sound card can be selected in the audio control panel and the 6 or 8 channels can be assigned using Audio MIDI setup. But there is no sound output.
The same symptoms occur in Windows until the C-Media driver is installed. Apparently the device boots with its outputs disabled, and the only thing the ‘driver’ does is send some specific configuration requests to enable both the analog outputs and the optical S/PDIF.Therefore I started gathering information: I used a to look at the packets sent to the device in Windows with and without the driver installed, and I found some useful clues in the.

Combined with some sample code from the XCode Developer kit, I managed to create a simple program that sends the crucial packets, enabling both the analog outputs and the S/PDIF. So there you have it, surround sound on your Mac for the price of a cheap USB audio card on eBay —. Mind that turning on the outputs is all this enabler does. All the rest is the task of your operating system. If your system does not recognise the sound card, it is not this enabler's fault.
