Hi there

I have read this post and tryed over and over again to add in the KEXt that is posted on the front page.

Even followed the section at the bottom.

How ever I still have no sound or can get the sound card to apear in the Input or output sections of the Sound Menu.

I dont get any errors when loading the KEXT,however when I reboot after loading the new appleac97audio.kext I get lots and lots of scrolling text that I can't make out, its to fast.

Once it goes to the next screen I can see all the various stuff loading, and it says that it can't open the appleac97audio.kext.

I have a toshiba portege m100 laptop with a Soundmax AC 97 sound card. nothing fancy. I just want the sounds to be able to play so I can hook up my ipod.

Any idea's please Help

Just wanted to say thanks. I had to read a few times before I actually registered the part about selecting 6 channel. Now it works great.

hi i'm running 10.4.8 with a soundmax integrated audio AD1986a on an asus a8s-x motherboard.
I tried your tutorial and the kext loads fine, but after rebooting still no devices listed, and when typing
kextstat | grep AC97, nothing comes up

i've also tried a fix where I change a value to ADS78 in the AppleAC97CodecAD198x.kext file and reload but it made no difference

any help would be much appreciated. driver problems are something i've always wanted to know how to fix myself : D

with:"kextload -t /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext"
terminal say:
kextload: extension /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext appears to be valid

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.

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

[seventynine]

another 2 channels instead of 6 right here......anyone with a solution? so far no wireless or sound

[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?  

[viper5dn]

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!
