Steinberg MI4 and Garageband

I've got a Steinberg MI4 media interface hardware. I have hooked it up to my laptop and opened Garageband. I've set all my system settings to recognize the MI4. I can hear the audio (microphone) in my headphones but am getting no signal through GarageBand. I've made the settings in GarageBand to recognize the MI4 but it's not working. Any ideas?

Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5, Mac OS X (10.4.10)

works fine with current downloadable driver (now August 2008)written a while back for Tiger. Using half CPU cores with only a dozen tracks at low latency but it works (interface MI4 USB1.1, fast asio2 driver eats CPU). If you have other audio or midi devices eg bus-powered midi controller do not use USB splitters and live without the mouse. Otherwise buy platform sharing interface. That is what I am going to do, Audacity is all very well but I want Wavelab Lite as one editor and use Cubase 4.1 anyway. Tiger leaves out a few modern fundamentals, like "auto Put Away/Eject USB device" setting, I notice XP USB2 gets better mileage out of external USB2 (IDE) drives and USB2 bandwidth and connectivity in general. Why is this? A Tiger bug? I am a fan of no commercial OS. As it happens my controller and interface are USB1.1 and happy but that means no audio drive until a Lacie... so the price rises. OS X is better than XP but kind of all over the place, like the planet, they both plod along
