I recompile this version 1.1b1 to delete all IOLog() which writes something during playback
This kext is original 10.4.6 + compiled plugin AppleAC97AudioATIIXP.kext inside it.
My version here
http://forum.insanel...t...st&id=16238
This kext works with system sounds and with iTunes but not with QuickTime player.  

I have laptop Samsung P29
Chipset ATI IXP 150 (probably)
Video Radeon Mobility 9000/9100 IGP DevID=5835
Sound ATI DevID=4341
MacOSX 10.4.6 JaS

2 MACnOObs
We have different system versions. So try to extract plugin AppleAC97AudioATIIXP.kext from my kext and plug it into system's default AppleAC97Audio.kext.
Don't worry about kexts dependencies. It is only warning.
If you have mic input go to Audio MIDI Setup and try to change something inside it

I did what you told (restore old driver and put atiixp into plugins) still have same prob, the sound icon appears put no sound. There is activities with mics but quite lag ( 1 or 2 sec later)

In midi setup it says no output

and at boot i saw the last line about audio

ATIIPX...kext: cannot creat codec output device 2 (the 0 and 1 were ok)

Hint: use -w0 when dumping IOReg to a file. Otherwise the lines get cut off and the file is useless

[MACn00bs]

thanx and can you tell me what is the command to dump to a file what we have seen during the booting ?

[Azurael]

it's in /var/log/system.log, or if you just want the most recent boot, sudo dmesg > dmesg.txt

What is wrong! I look to your ioreg and compare with my. We have the same hardware?

You have no loaded CodecAD198x
May be you need to add string ADS70 into it's info.plist?

[MACn00bs]

yes !!! I got sound now, thank you very much.

I also notice that I must fix my CPU speed at 1600(max) for a normal play. If I let auto steep or fix under 1600 the sound becomes buggy.

Mics seems working(in sound setup i see the activities when i touch the mic, thought with 1 sec lag) but I didnt test recording yet

[Slice]

Congratulations!
And what about Quick Time Player? Is it play sounds?

[MACn00bs]

Yes all work, Quicktime and its plugin in firefox

Im now on Mac almost of time ^^

Sometime sound become buggy and can make my systeme freeze also, I dont know why, maybe there is something wrong in the buffer memory ( because sometime it took 0,5 for sound to start, sometime plus).

If you want me to do smt just tell.

i used to dev on this project
could someone in the know post a current status of the driver

including known working hardware, compatibility with different versions of OSX, semi-working hardware, known bugs, features requested but not yet included in code.

ur english is not for my mind.

I'm not a developer of this driver but I can to make changes.
For me and for MACnOObs (devID=0x4341 with different Analog Device Chips) it is working.
Not work speaker configuration in Apple MIDI Setup (noise only in right speaker).
I have a problem with MP3 in QuickTime but I don't know it depends on sound driver or other system problem.
This driver works in any 10.4.x system. I check in 10.4.6 and 10.4.9
Some users request 5+1 sound but it's impossible because it is AC97 and not HDAudio.

That's all that I know.

[Slice]

I have a new problem with this driver. I increase RAM to 1280Mb (1024+256) and sound became not working!
Some mistake in it. Help!

EDITED:
I decrease RAM to 1024Mb and sound works again!

Sounds buggy with IOPCIFamily.kext v 2.0-2.2 but works perfect with IOPCIFamily.kext v1.7

I delete DebugLog from the sources because it writes in systemlog repeatly

It means that the driver suppose that user stay in kernel space that restricted to 1Gb.
It is an error!

[BlackCH]

My device is 4341 (vend: 1002). I was using an old version of this driver. It works for a while but then the audio start suttering or stops...
Then I tryed your version (post #681); It does the same with i-tunes (MP3) or quicktime (AVI)

I could help to test if you need. just let me know
