Does anyone know if SigmaTel STAC9220 Audio works with 10.4.4? I'm thinking about getting a new motherboard and I'm not quite sure if this would work or not.

All you have to do is copy in the 10.4.3 version of AppleHDA.kext and it works.

I should add some notes. The rear output works on the SigmaTel but it comes out the wrong jack (blue not green). I am not sure whether input and the front output work for sure or not.

Will copying that kext fix sound functionality with the SigmaTel STAC9200 in Dell I9400 laptops by any chance?

i have the same problem

have an intel 82801FBM says windows xp, installed sigmatel drivers,so i think its a sigmatel onboard card
cant get my card working

device id is

7690

Devilhood,

I tried yesterday to fix the 9200 issue replacing my 10.4.5 kext with 10.4.3 kext, i got the same laptop as you, this is a NOT WORKING SOLUTION, this guy is trying to make a driver.

regards

I also have the STAC 9220 (dev ID 7690) in my Dell D620, Iv spent 7 hrs reading through the site trying everything and nothing seems to work out of any jack.

Does anyone have the kext from 10.4.3. I have JaS 10.4.6.

Extract the zip and copy the folder onto the extensions folder and replace the existing AppleHDA.kext.

Then open terminal and run the following:
sudo chmod –R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext
and
sudo chown –R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext

Now open Disk Editor and repair permissions then reboot.

Should work out of one of the audio sockets. Try them all. With me it works out of the front headphone sockets.

I tried that on my Dell Latitude 120L (Which is a Latin name for the Inspiration 1300) and got no sound output.

What else can i do besides waiting for a driver?

somebody has information about this? SigmaTel STAC9220 Dell D620

Follow the instructions from post 9 and maybe try both kexts. Let us know which works for you.

-AcePlayer

neither of those kexts work with sigmatel 9200 (dev ID 7690).

I can't remember which of the two kext I put up it is but it's worked everytime and I have a SigmaTel STAC9220.

You're looking for the 9200 which is different. And for that I don't believe there is a solution yet. The link above by thefabulous9mm is the place to explore that.

How are you supposed to know which one you have? I have been reading for hours and I can't find a simple breakdown of what hardware ID corresponds to the 9200 and the 9220. My hardware ID is 7690; to which does that correspond?

Great question! Something that took me a while to figure out and still does everytime I forget.

I used the free version of Everest in my Windows partition. There may be another way to do the same in OSX. Alternative download mirrors.

Open Everest
Expand "Motherboard" branch in menu
Select "Chipset"
Select 'South Bridge"
Type listed under "High Defination Audio: Codec Name"

Mine says "SigmaTel STAC9220 A1", so it's 9220. Remember 9200 still has no solution (as far as I'm aware).

Hi All, some success with the Dell Inspiron E1405! Thank you Taruga!!!

It has an integrated sound card, dev ID 7690. the psykopat link has "codec_Sigma9220.txt". edited third line:

from: Vendor Id: 0x83847680
to: Vendor Id: 0x83847690

Not even sure if that was required, but a match to the actual device ID seemed likely to be appropriate. Used AppleHDApatcher 1.15. rebooted, works like a charm on output, have to try input yet.

10.4.8 jas update

Both are not working for me Mebster..

I have SigmaTel STAC9220 and I did like you said.. looks the terminal codes are not correct or something..

CAN YOU HELP..

Tell me step by step what should I do?

These are someone else's notes I followed. And it always seems to work.

I use the attached kext. Not sure if it's the same as the one I've posted above. Then I use Tarugas AppleHDA Patcher to get my 5.1 sound working.

If none of that works then you can try the sigmatel9220.pkg from Tarugas wiki site.
