Hi.

I followed the first part of your tutorial in success.

When I go onto the Audio MIDI setup all the drop-down boxes are blacked out.

I am on a Mac OS X 10.4.8 OS.

Thanks, Machead.

Worked!!!!!!!!....Ur grt man. my First experiance in mac...like this. i am so haapy..... MY laptop

 

Hp compaq nx 6110 mac 10.4.1

 

Audio :adi 1981b addede RAMMS SUPER Kext's

 

http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?act...ost&id=1805 from here

 

and follwed :- Open Terminal

- Type sudo su

- Give your password

 

Before copy the kext remove the old one:

- Type rm -fr /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext

 

Now copy it again from your user's Desktop:

 

- Type cp -R /Users/your-username/Desktop/AppleAC97Audio.kext /System/Library/Extensions/

 

- Type kextload -t /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext

if there are no errors Type kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions and reboot

 

after reboot it showed some erros :as said here

if your having permission and or get a message like this:

"kextload: /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext: no such bundle file exists

can't add kernel extension /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext (file access/permissions) (run kextload on this kext with -t for diagnostic output)"

 

Then try this:

open terminal

sudo -s

enter password if asked

chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/<drivername>.kext

chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensios/<drivername>.kext

 

reeboot

[scootz]

I've got an Soundmax AC97 built in (1106:3059) on an Asrock P4VM800 motherboard. Sound works but only with the left speaker. Tried replacing it with macgirls' kext and no go. changed permissions and such, rebooted and no go. and what ever else this post had said.

 

I'm running 10.4.8 JaS AMD/Intel-SSE2-SSE3 with PPF1 & PPF2..

 

*EDIT* I've also tried the midi config options to see if 3/6 channel thing works.. nope.. i can only get 2 channels.

 

So Graymind, add me to your growing list?

Just wanted to let everyone know that the method works with the Lenovo x60 tablet with the SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD 1981 . The vendor for the 1981 is 11d4, and the dev is 1981; the whole string is 0x11d41981 . For the MS string, it is the same as the one used in the guide (0x27d88086). Best of luck to everyone, I hope it works for ya!
