B612 Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 Hi, guys. I have installed MAC OS Tiger 10.4.3 and it seems to work perfect apart from my bloody SpeedTouch ADSL USB modem and my sound! I have 2 sound boards: one of these is the Audigy 2 ZS... and it doesn't work at all. The other Sound Board is the one of my Mother Board (Asus P5GL-MX). It's called SoundMax, as you know. Well, my problem is that I can see the sound bars, I can move them, I can see the waves moving when I start a player, but I cannot hear ANYTHING! Does anybody know what I should do in order to make it work? I want to add that I have tried to erase all the ATI drivers from the Extensions folder, but I have exactly the same situation as before. :-( I really hope somebody knows what's happening.. if not I could not use my MAC, because without music this world is so boring! Byeeee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daryb Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I was jsut wondering if anyone knows of any third party diagnostics utilities for osx, so i can check what sound card I have, and thus my ID. I know this is probably an inexistent tool considering apples proprietary hardware, but thought it was worth a shot. The reason I ask is because I don't have a windows machine.thanks.

NOTHING! The only thing I can do is whistling myself As it was earlier, I can see and move the volume bar etc, but I hear no sound. If I go to System Information, I see HD Audio Output as output device; I see no input device. Anybody could be able to solve my problem? if so, I invite you for lunch, dinner, pizza party, etc.! Thank you guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liebowa Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 At the risk of sounding stupid, are you sure that you have your output device (speakers, etc.) hooked up to the correct jack on the back of the soundcard? I know this sounds ridiculous, but I, too, couldn't get sound out of my install. I had the same symptoms you did - everything looked perfect - just no sound. I then tried a last ditch effort and plugged my speakers into the black jack on the back of my soundcard - and it worked! Just a thought...

I then tried a last ditch effort and plugged my speakers into the black jack on the back of my soundcard - and it worked! Just a thought... Thank you very much for your answer... Unfortunately I did try all the possibilities. Since in Windows I don't normally use the same sound card, I first plugged the sound card in Windows to the various speakers (I have a 5.1 system), I tested each of them. When I was sure everything worked perfectly, I switched to MAC and I had no sound, as before. I find absurd that there is no solution for the 2 sound cards I have! (My specs are: CPU Intel P4 630 dual 3.02 GHz, 2 Mb cache; Hard Disk SATA Maxtor 160 Gb partitioned and dual booted with native MAC installation; 1 Gb DDR RAM; Motherboard ASUS P5GL-MX [with the integrated SoundMax card we are talking about]; SoundBlaster Audigy 2 ZS [it doesn't work, either]; etc....)

Don Luca Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Guys, I think I found the problem... First of all, i have a AD1980 Chipset integrated in my Asus K8V-X with only the left channel working... When i checked what kext were loaded with kextstat i actually found that the correct one (AppleAC97CodecAD198x.kext) is not loaded!!! Instead, the kext loaded is AppleAC97AudioVIA.kext!!! I really don't know what to do... help me!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclonefr Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Eh guys any solution or new driver to get on this sound card OPENAL working for games? no sound in D3 and QUAKE 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigboss Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 guys if you find the left channel only working, try changing the input from Mic to Line-In in Audio Midi Setup Util (located in /Applications/Utilities). I have a soundmax adi1980 (added device and manufacturer ID to soundmax.kext in AppleAC97Audio.kext/plugins) card that works perfectly in os x if i plug it into the microphone jack (black slot). my device id 266e manufacturer id 8086 ps: if you are running 10.4.4/10.4.5, i suggest you use the 10.4.3 kext as the volume control seems messed with 10.4.4 and 10.4.5 using their respective kexts.

I got the same chipset, installed the 10.4.3 kext and.....it ONLY works in digital!!!! Fortunally i've got my Pc (or mac??) connected to a Digital 5.1 amplifier! I found a connector in motherboard SPDIF and i connected an RCA connector. After lots and lots of trying this is the only way i reached to make me MAC talk! I haven't a standard motherboard, it's a Fujitsu-SIEMENS Scenic W620 PC with i915G. With the Marklar one works all fine but the sound, with the 10.4.5 i needed an USB kwyboard, to connect my mice to an USB port, and it all worked fine! Also the IEEE1394 in my Audigy2 works fine, i connected my iPod and the system found it! I also got an M-AUDIO Audiophile 2496, but i must wait for the Intel drivers! Thanx for the advice! Hope my xperience help!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadDog Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 What is codec ID? First, you can get it from Windows XP with EVEREST (http://www.lavalys.hu/index.php). If already you knew your codec chip, for example: AD1986a, you can get the ID from Analog Devices datasheet. I've spent two days working on this. Analog Devices' spec sheet for the AD1981B does not list the register information for the CODEC and Everest is no longer freeware and the trialware version does not give the register information either. So how do I find the CODEC ID?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunny Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Hi Lucose, I've tried your method and AppleAC97CodecAD198x.kext was loaded successfully via kextload -v AppleAC97CodecAD198x.kext. Also, your next steps were followed: rm Extensions.kextcache kextcache -k Extensions However, it did not get automatically loaded after reboot, and thus no sound still. (Nothing displayed with "kextstat | grep -i ac97".) Do you have any idea what I could do to fix this? Btw, my audio chip is AD1986a too. Thanks! Hey guys, If you get a Analog Devices AC97 Codec, you can try to modify the plist file to get it work. First in your "/System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext/Context/PlugIn/AppleAC97CodecAD198x/Context/Info.plist" Find the pattern: <dict> <key>AD198x</key> <dict> <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key> <string>com.apple.driver.AppleAC97CodecAD198x</string> <key>IOClass</key> <string>AppleAC97CodecAD198x</string> <key>IOProbeScore</key> <integer>10000</integer> <key>IOProviderClass</key> <string>IOAC97CodecDevice</string> <key>PNPVendorID</key> <string>ADS75 ADS74 ADS73 ADS72</string> </dict> </dict> Change codec device ID to yours. What is codec ID? First, you can get it from Windows XP with EVEREST (http://www.lavalys.hu/index.php). If already you knew your codec chip, for example: AD1986a, you can get the ID from Analog Devices datasheet. Now I use AD1986a as sample: Read the AD1986a spec, you can find the vender ID in register 7C, 7E. Register 7C = 0x4144 Register 7E = 0x5378 Which '41' '44' '53' are ASCII codes, they are 'A', 'D', and 'S'. And the LSB byte of register 7E indicates the number of codec ID. Here AD1986a is '78'. So you can get the whole ID of AD1986a; it is 'ADS78'. It's simple, right? All right, modify the above Info.plist file. Change any one of them (ADS75 ADS74 ADS73 ADS72) to ADS78. <dict> <key>AD198x</key> <dict> <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key> <string>com.apple.driver.AppleAC97CodecAD198x</string> <key>IOClass</key> <string>AppleAC97CodecAD198x</string> <key>IOProbeScore</key> <integer>10000</integer> <key>IOProviderClass</key> <string>IOAC97CodecDevice</string> <key>PNPVendorID</key> <string>ADS78 ADS74 ADS73 ADS72</string> <=== MODIFY THIS LINE! </dict> </dict> Remember that keep 4 IDs in the line "<string>ADS78 ADS74 ADS73 ADS72</string>" The last step is load the AppleAC97CodecAD198x.kext: sudo -s kextload /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97.kext/Context/PlugIn/AppleAC97CodecAD198x.kext cd /System/Library rm Extensions.kextcache kextcache -k Extensions You can use: kextstat | grep AC97 check AppleAC97CodecAD198x.kext loaded or not. This way only for Analog Devices AD19xx (lucky guys). Other codec like Realtek still not working (at least on my Realtek ALC250 not working!). Get a try! EDIT:: By the way, if this way working, please someone moves this thread into 'Success' or open a new thread in 'Success', thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
