Ok, so I've got this card.. And I had used quite a lot on intel based Mac Pro 2,1 that was on Mac OS X Leopard and it worked perfectly.. Last year I've bought new Mac pro and I didnt use old Mac till few weeks ago when I've gave it to my friend and of course I've kept deck link card.. But after I put the card in my new Mac and installed new drivers, the card started to act strange, actually there's no video output.. On hdmi port connected to HDTV signal is totally strange, something like red analog noise, noise like on old TV sets when theres no signal from antenna, but red..
So if is something due new drivers or what? I'm assume that is about drivers because I've read somewhere on the Internet, can't remember where, that you've discounted this model and that I neede specific drivers and/or maybe specific OS so that the card could work.. As I remember I had on old Mac drivers version 7.5.something and like I've mentioned Mac OS X was Leopard and all has worked, now on my new Mac it's oSX Lion up to date and newest drivers from support page and it doesn't work..
So could anyone tell me with what version of drivers and what OS X I need, to get my card HDMI out to work..

Thanks!

Hi Ivan,

Red noise on the output sounds highly unusual to me. I doubt that this would be a driver issue. I suspect it to be more likely a hardware issue. Whether it be a problem with the card itself or the hardware it's installed in is hard to say. So I would really suggest getting in touch with your regional support center and they will probably need to troubleshoot a few things. If the problem does seem to be with the card, they should be able to help you get it replaced. You can find the support numbers here.

Thanks. Will try that.
