I have tried the method on this forum for many times. But no sound.
Is the code "ADS78" ?
My mainboard is Asus P5GL-MX. My OSX is 10.4.3?

quite simply, you can't. i have the exact same board, i ended up using a cmi8738 pci audio card with it.

Thank you . I have to use a USB soundcard.

hey bob,

how did u make the cmi8736 sound card work ?

In about this mac i c no pci card..

Is it a bios trick ?

Did anyone get a silicon image DVi card for p5gl?

ok, because everyone was a noob once, here goes:

dude you have to go buy a pci sound card with a cmi8736 chipset, it should be really really cheap.

then you search the forums, for "cmi8736" then download the kext file, and generally just follow the instructions.

I have the same board.

It seems that the Azalia package on the OSX86 doesn't contain the ad1986a codec. It detects the card Ok, but there is no sound output.

If you use the prober app in the development package, it detects the DEV and Vendor IDs as 0xffff.

My solution was to get an external soundblaster live USB box to get sound. It works as soon as you plug it in.

Thank u for the RTFM answer

I already have the cmi board.

I followed the instruction here and there (chown and so on)
but it doesn't want to load it at startup...

I relaced my mother's motherboard and I had a similar problem with an Asus board with WInXP (A7v400-MX). All the drivers were OK, the devices were ok but I had no sound. Finally, the problem was with audio jumpers on the FP_AUDIO. It seems that ASUS as neglected to add these jumpers on their boards by default that allows the sound to be bridged to the back connectors.

To fix my problem I had to put 2 jumpers on the board.

You have to establish a connection with 2 jumpers between BLINE_OUT_L and LINE_OUT_L and BLINE_OUT_R and LINE_OUT_R on the FP_AUDIO header.

I will check if this is the case on the P5GL-MX when I get back home.

How to install CMI 8738 :

Disable azalia in BIOS.

Get the driver : http://www.win2osx.net/forum/attachment.ph...62&d=1132808970

open and put it in /System/Library/Extensions

open terminal (in application/utilities) then type :

cd /System/Library/Extensions
sudo chown -R root:wheel CMI8738PCIAudioDriver.kext

(give YOUR password, you're admin, so you don't need the root password as you can use sudo)

kextload CMI8738PCIAudioDriver.kext

Hope this helps...

Hey, Scousi,

Did you try to connect those jumpers also on the Asus P5GL-MX? Did it work, finally? I really don't know why, but here http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/HCL_10.4.3 there are 2 comments about this motherboard: one says it works 100%, including sound, and the other one that sound doesn't work. Since I know you have this board, I was wondering if you have the solution!
Thank you!
