I recently updated to 10.5.7 using software update and all went well except for audio. I tried various AppleHDA.kexts and VoodooHDA kext but I keep getting kernel panic. I can't seem to find a dump that works. Please Help!

let me know if for You too

The download reached its limit... Can you re-upload please?

Yes please, this is the only piece of the puzzle left! Thanks!!!!!!

Yes, please reup

After a lot of trial and errors, I finally managed to get audio. Firstly, I installed the original AppleHDA.kext that came with the 10.5.7 update. Then I deleted ALCInject.kext and installed the kexts from this zip file: http://www.fileflyer.com/view/LZjdXAP . For installing and removing the kexts, I used terminal and single-user mode (sudo -s). Here are screens of my audio system preferences pane and my system profiler audio section.

System Preferences:



If anyone needs help installing the kexts, ask and I'll post up the instructions. Hope this helps!

Thanks abhi93, I got the same motherboard with you, so it works to me too. I simply use kext helper to install those kexts you provided and now I get the sound! Thanks again

Would you please uploat to another place? Fileflyer isn't allowing downloads without paying.

Thanks a lot! Works great, no popping, crackling or other "parasite" sounds!!!

can you post the guide?
I installed the kexts from osx86tools and it finallt showed up in profiler but I get the no audio thing when changing the volume and in sounds there is nothing.

THX!! It works!

...but!!

Does anyone know why I don't see all devices in Audio MIDI Setup?
...as you can noticed, there is also no Headphone output
...and if I choose 3 output devices, I can configure/use only two!
If I choose seperate all 3 output devices are working, just as "aggregate device" not! grrrr...

btw: I am still on 10.5.6, I will upgrade to latest, maybe it helps.

Can you please repost this file somewhere?

Sorry for the late reply, I have been really busy. Anyway, I now use Snow Leopard so I am not 100% sure these are the working kexts. They should be, but then again, I'm not entirely sure. If they aren't then I'll upload the other set of kexts I have. Here's the link: http://www.mediafire.com/?ep6o21hvwzx

Hope it helps.
