rlf Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Let's assume you installed MySound.kext to /System/Library/Extensions. Boot using boot flag -s to get into single user mode. It will start to boot into a command line GUI. At the command line, type; mount -uw / cd /System/Library/Extensions rm -rf MySound.kext Reboot using boot flags -v -f Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulette1234 Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 AzaliaAudio.pkg.zip It was the above I installed,thanks for then quick reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlf Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 OK, that package installs AppleAzaliaAudio.kext. Do what I said above except use AppleAzaliaAudio.kext in place of MySound.kext. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulette1234 Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 I have has snow leopard running for months.another recent change may be a factor.. Last week my video card blew up,a couple of very loud explosions in the case,then it was dead.ok so I decided to try to boot with the onboard video since now it had solid OS installed.bingo it worked great except I didn't have all the resolutions only 1070 by 760 or close to it. I went looking for the fix for that when I stumbled upon the sound fix which I tried and bang bang bang it shot me down... G31M-ES2L onboard video video card I had was nvidia 7600GT piece of {censored} firestarter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a lot and while I have your expertise can you suggest a cheap replacement card for me Paulette... going to ebay right now to buy one of whatever you suggest.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlf Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I'm not an authority on cheap video cards. I would suggest going to the wiki for Snow Leopard and find one that works "out of the box" (OOTB): http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/HCL_10.6.8#Graphics_Cards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rlf Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Please provide the vendor id and device id. Go to /Applications/Utilities/System Information. On the left, click on Graphics. On the right look for Vendor and Device ID Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulette1234 Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de) Device ID: 0x0422 and my sound isn't working either.not really a problem now but would eventually like it to work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlf Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 OK, that is good. Now look in the /Extra folder for a file named com.apple.Boot.plist or org.chameleon.Boot.plist. Open it and look for an entry that says "GraphicsEnabler" and below it should be "yes". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulette1234 Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 its there in the org.chameleon.Boot.plist <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>EthernetBuiltIn</key> <string>Yes</string> <key>GraphicsEnabler</key> <string>Yes</string> <key>Kernel</key> <string>mach_kernel</string> <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>arch=i386 npci=0x2000</string> <key>Legacy Logo</key> <string>Yes</string> <key>Timeout</key> <string>2</string> </dict> </plist> thanks for your help rif be back in a couple hours..to continue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlf Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Well, there should be no reason the card doesn't work for you. Your device id is in the proper kext and you have the enabler set to yes. Try installing this additional enabler NVEnabler. Put it on your Desktop. Double-click it to unzip it. Then double-click it to install it. Reboot and be sure to use the boot flags -v -f (and any others you normally use). nvenabler.pkg.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulette1234 Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 Thanks I installed it but just did restart I don't understand boot flags or when to type that in. anyway I still only have one rez. I read about permissions and all that,should I have done that and how? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlf Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Permissions were handled by the installer package. You don't understand boot flags???!!!??? They can be very important. When you boot, you probably see a screen with a chameleon at the top and an icon of your hard drive in the middle. When you see that, press any key to stop it from booting. Then type: -v -f and press <Enter> You will see a lot of text stream down the screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulette1234 Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 I have done that before, but I have ibo ot and not the chameleon.not too sure but I will see if it does same thing. what do I type after I hit enter after the text streams down? that was fun I guess acording to this site insane.. I did the -v -f and it did indeed gibe me more resolutions...but when I tried to chane rez it blanked out my screen I hit restart and luckily it gave me back my screen but back to only one rez again wondering if plugging into the dvi port would be better.this card came with an adapter for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlf Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Definitely try the DVI port. Also, try -v -f again and see if you get multiple resolutions again, even if only temporarily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulette1234 Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 Dvi worked.thanks for helping rif Now one last thing is the sound.I have been following this guide because it is my mobo.. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=209359&st=0# Can you help me add this...Audio Open up G41M_Files/Audio and run AzaliaAudio.pkg. Install it on your HD. I don't have all this on a usb drive,but I can use a burned CD with the above files,just not sure of the method.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlf Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Install it just like you did with NVEnabler - put the G41M_Files.zip on your Desktop and double-click it to unzip it. Find the AzaliaAudio.pkg in the Audio folder and double-click the pkg to install it. But, if it were me, I would go with the latest VoodooHDA.kext: http://code.google.c...oHDA.kext.2.7.3 Whatever you do, boot with -v -f.

paulette1234 Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 ok so download the voodoo file put it on the desktop,click install and reboot with -v -f,is that it? Your the man I think thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlf Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Double-click to unzip and then double-click the pkg to install Boot with -v -f Also, go into the Extra folder and drag Extensions.mkext to the Trash (it might ask for your password) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
