i've got xcode installed btw, now sure how you go about debugging drivers and i'm very new to osx/darwin but i do code on XP in c/c++ and c# so if you want me to try anything let me know

[Hydrasworld]

dogbert contacted me via irc (hi dogbert!) and he quickly hacked together a couple of test versions for me and the second one of them worked great!  nic + sound even after a cold boot.

mad props (as they say) to dogbert

i'm sure he'll post a url below when he's uploaded it somewhere for you kidz

no problem and thanks for the fast turnaround on this, there's a great many motherboards out there with the CMI8738 chip on so I'm sure lots of other people will be thanking you too!

now all we need is that 1.0.0 you've been talking about!

can someone tell me if my sound card works with this kext...

The thing is i loaded the kext... it show like there's a card detected, but it doesn't make sound... i tried:
-The MIDI Audio Setup
-Change the speakers to the mic input...
-I don't have front output for audio

I have tried the info about AppleAC97Driver...

i put 0x70121039 in the Info.plist... but i don't have sound... 

Thanks if anybody can help...

From C-Media 3D Audio Configuration:

Audio Codec: CMI9739A
Audio Controller: SIS 7012 Series Audio Controller

You're not alone. I also have problem getting any sound of my cmi9739a-chip. The chip is detected succesfully and the appleac97driver-module loads without problems but there is no sound playback

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

you should definately use 0.6.4 as 0.6.3 has a bug which may cause other pci devices to not function correctly.

[bebox]

v 0.6.4 works well too thank you

[Silvos]

I would like to thank dogbert for the work done on the CMi-8738 driver.
I now have sound!! Awesome Thanks!

Works like a charm, now time to work on the kworld tv card (bttv driver), I love macs but can't afford them!

[munky]

anyone know if these work on 10.4.3?  might be worth a swift recompile.

EDIT: 10.4.3 compiled version is here: http://www.win2osx.n...read.php?t=1729

[WaxTrax!]

I posted this over on win2osx as well, but maybe I'll get a response here.

Using a PCI card version of the CMI 8738 on 8F1111a(g), I went to install the last compiled 0.6.4 version of dogbert's driver, compiled for 10.4.3, and it didn't work. I opened up the project in Xcode and without changing anything, built the driver for my system, and it seemed to work.

The sound card did work, until the system would randomly crash. For example, I used GarageBand for about 10 minutes with no problems, but a random sound like emptying the recycle bin, would make the computer crash. And if I tried to use iTunes, it'd crash the system after about 30 seconds of playback.

Here's my portion of the thread over at win2osx: Page 6

[Nanau]

YAHOO!!! I finally got sound!!!

Thank you guys for the excelent work.

Just one question. The microphone isn't working. What I did wrong?
