Thanks for the reply, but actually i use it just to plug my analog microphone, and for the line out I use my HD Audio Output. No more answers please cause this post is off-topic. Thanks and bye.

Can you tell me how to recompile by myself? I have 10.4.6 too. I downloaded your file, but still get the superclass error.

I replaced my soundcard with this one to get sound with OS X. As I recall, I got the same message at first. Dogbert's driver was compiled for 10.4.1. Depending on which 10.4.3 build you have, the kext would be different.

Simplest solution is to download the source code (its posted) then compile it yourself. The XCode tools to recompile it are on the DVD.

Attached find my kext compiled for 10.4.3 1111g. It works on my system.

It worked with that!!! I'm listening a MP3 right now in 10.4.6

But I can't get it work in 10.4.6

Try the one I mention above. I had the same problem as you and that one worked for me.

Installing the binary results in the same classic "xxx is not compatible with its superclass, 13IOAudioEngine superclass changed?" error that many others are getting.  

When I download the source, open the project in XCode, and click "build", XCode simply terminates.  Is there a simple commandline way to build this thing?

My environment:

Soyo P4I875P motherboard (w/ onboard CMedia CM8738 6 Ch.)
OS X 10.4.3
binary file used: CMI8738PCIAudioDriver-0.6.4-1043.tar.gz
src file used: CMI8738PCIAudioDriver-0.6.4-src.tar.gz

Thanks dogbert, Hydrasworld, and GreyWolf for the recompile (and anyone else who helped with this). Finally I have sound on my P4B266.

Anyone Using This Driver in Kernel 10.4.8?
My CMI8738 (Audiotrack Maya 5.1 LP) stopped working with 10.4.8 kernel. It was worked perfectly with 10.4.4 kernel with OS 10.4.6, 10.47 and 10.4.8. It stopped working with new 10.4.8 kernel.

I am Using Latest Semthex Kernel

Ye.  We need to X Lab this driver and have some people who can recompile regularly for new OS X releases.

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

Did you notice you can attach a headset to the lineout (or headphones out) and hear sounds? It sounds like the system recognize the card, but has some incomplete routing. I WANT MY SPEAKERS!!
