NiceGuyJSK Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Hey everyone, I'm new to the forums but I've been trying to perfect my OS X x86 install for the last week or two. I've got everything set so far except for my sound. I have 10.4.5 (8G1454) installed on my Asus K8V SE Deluxe using the onboard sound. When I run DXDiag in windows, I get VENDOR ID as 1106 and DEV ID as 3059. I've followed all the proper steps and Tiger now recognizes that an audio device is installed, but heres the rub.. No sound comes out of the Line-out port but when I plug the speakers into the MIC input port, I get mono sound! I have no idea how this is happening and what I can do to resolve the issue. Has anyone else run into this? Any help/suggestions/comments on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skeliskel Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 i have a firewire presonus firebox audio interface and as far as i can tell sound works great, but everytime i start up i get "Apple AC97Audio.kext & AppleAA97AudioIntelICH.kext" errors. is something not working properly that i just havent found yet or is it b/c my firebox is running the show? if so how do i get the error msg's to stop popping up everytime i start up. or if the msg is for something i need to worry about how do i fix it? i saw the fix posted by macgirl but im afraid if i do it, it will make my firebox stop working.Thanks in advance. By the way i am running 10.4.7 on a dell optiplex gx280 p4 2.8 ghz i gb ddr2 ram, gma 900 video etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NevadaDave Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Hello All, I am running 10.4.6 (JaS load) on a Medion PC with a Microstar MS-6533-L motherboard. The chipset is a SiS 645DX. OS is loaded onto a separate 40 GB HD. I have had a few problems with this: 1. The PS/2 keyboard is not recognized. I'm using a Logitech wireless/USB keyboard. 2. Sometimes when I boot, I get the gray 4-language reboot screen. If I shut the system down, sometimes it will boot normally, sometimes I can repeatedly press F8 and get the boot options screen. I have tried platform=x86pc and platform=acpi with generally good results. I can ususally tell if the boot will succeed because I can hear the HD heads clicking. If I don't hear them, I get the reboot screen. 3. Sometimes after booting (and it always seems to happen when I start up and then go away for a period of time) I will have the desktop, but no mouse pointer. All I can do at this point is press the power button & reboot. 4. About every third boot, when I fire up Safari, I get the message that I'm not connected to the internet. I go to preferences & click on network, select the PCI ethernet card, and then everything works. All of these above are annoying, but liveable. However, the one that has me totally stumped is that I cannot get sound. I have the Realtek AC97 onboard sound. The vendor/device ID comes up as 0x70121039. If I apply the kext mod as shown in a variety of places, I will get a volume indicator on the menu bar, and if I go into preferences, I will see the AC97 audio as an output device. However, if I actually try to USE the sound, whether trying the speaker setup test or running iTunes, the system locks up hard - will not respond to mouse clicks (although the mouse pointer can be moved) or keyboard. The only thing I can do is a push the power button & reboot, then edit out the string I added. I have tried adding the dev/vendor string to the ICH6, the ICH5, the ICH4 and the nVidia sections of the kext with the same result. I realize that this seems to be a common issue, and that everyone is busy with their own problems - but does anyone have anything else I can try? Thanks much!

jslugger94 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Hi. Has anybody had any luck with installing an ac97 on leopard 10.5.1 ? If so, what did you type in Terminal? Thank you everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrooveMachine Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 jslugger, I had it install on 10.5.2 by downloading macgirl's kext, then doing this: make sure your AppleAC97Audio.kext is present in /System/Library/Extensions, then run the following in Terminal: cd /System/Library/Extensions sudo chown -R /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext kextload AppleAC97Audio.kext chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions cd /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ kextload AppleAC97AudioIntelICH.kext then clean your extensions cache: rm /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions Hope this helps!

These instructions work great until I get to the line "kextload AppleAC97Audio.kext" When I try to enter this I get the error: "you must be running as root to load modules into the kernel " I have tried to run as sudo, but this didn't work. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas? Use "su root" to switch to root. If you do not have root enabled, open Directory Utility via Applications->Utilities->Directory Utilities. You may have to unlock this to make changes. Click Edit->Enable Root User. You will be prompted to create the root password. Once you've done this go back to the terminal and retry "su root". I hope this helps.
