I've been looking for the sb400 AC97 kexts for 10.4.8.

Manufacturer ID: 0x1002
Product ID: 0x4370

Unfortunately all the posts I've found through searching this forum the wiki and google seem to point to the same couple of posts that have been removed.
I cannot seem to find them no matter what variation of search terms I use.
Please could somebody repost these kexts?

Unless there is something I am missing, I am using JaS 10.4.8, is there support for this hardware.

hi
they are a little buggy and don't work for me, but give them a try
you must change IOPCIPrimaryMatch in AC97AudioATIIXP/Info.plist

Good luck!

EDIT: attachment removed, download the kext in the following post that is full working!

Thank you again Slice!
Once upon a time there was a post about ATI IXP AC97, and now it is back!
Have you got sources too? It would be great if someone began working again on this project.

To all ATI IXP owners: please post results if you test this kext!

Here there are sources with my corrections. Its may be useful for developer for other chipsets but not all sources can be compiled.

I have one bug: if I install RAM > 1Gb on my laptop then the sound became non-working. It may be a MacOSX 10.4.6 issue. I want to know other reports.

Mar 19 2008, 02:26 PM

Here is my test result.

I had to:
- add ADS68 in AppleAC97Codec198x.kext
- set 2-ch in Audio MIDI Setup

I tested only Audio OUT, that is FULL WORKING (no latency issues or audio out from MIC as other drivers!)

Yuppi!

EDIT: uhm I hurried up saying all was ok!
Sometimes it boots and set up only Line out and MIC - but in this case line out doesn't work.
Sometimes it boots and set up Line out, SPDIF OUT and MIC - in this case it works (but if the previous reboot didn't work, I have to go in AUDIO MIDI SETUP and set 4ch and then again 2ch. This way it works again).
Why? Don't know yet, but I'll find a reason!

Apr 9 2008, 05:26 PM

Slice: Tiger 10.4.11, 1,5Gb RAM and no more problem than before.

Still some trouble (the same described in the previous post) but not new problems.

chris: I cant't read your dump. What is your audio chipset's Device_id and product_id?

Apr 16 2008, 02:27 AM

Its the same as slices 0x4370 1002 - i managed to get the driver working under leopard 10.5.2 and i removed the initialization of multi channel sound so it works in garage band also i noticed this source switches when i plug in to the front and rear audio

Not the same. I have 4341. It seems to be working for both chipset.
What about your ADS74 or else?
Your ioreg is strange. I can't understand it.
I make
ioreg -l -x -w 2048 >ioregMy.txt

Yes, this driver can choose 2 of 4 channels. May be it works on 4 channel?

chrs2021

Apr 16 2008, 11:44 AM

No four channel audio is a no go on this, i don't know if its because of the fact that ports are linked to the mic and line. i think that since they're initialized already they don't respond to output. my codec is the ALG80 also that ioregistry thing was done on the registry explorer the tool that came with the dev tools.... but here is a text dump that.

Is it an answer to your question?
I am not sure that AC97 ever have multichannel support. And my laptop have only two speakers and one stereo output.

Hey, toadspit!
It is better to use hexadecimal output
ioreg -l -x -w 1024 >ioreg.txt

Hi guys,

i have an MSI Notebook (megabook s270), and it have a sb400 chipset for audio.

The AppleAC97 kext (with the Apple ATIXP plugin) work but only with headphones.

In the audio panel i see only "Line out" and the internal speaker don't work.

Working also line in, mic in ecc.. ecc...

Any idea?

Thanks

sb400 AC97 kexts made by Slice: AppleAC97Audio.kext

Manufacturer ID: 0x1002
Product ID: 0x4370

it works, once again, proof of good work from Slice!

AppleAC97AudioATIIXP works even for Leo 10.5.2 (Kalyway 10.5.2 to be precise)
I recommend those archived plugins to be included into Kalyway delivered pack: AppleAC97Audio.kext (note to kalyway)

side effect: hardware volume control button Up/Down have sticky effect yet fixed - once pressed doesn't change volume level by 1, instead staying in changing mode as if it would be holded, until system restart. This hope will be fixed (once source code of following kext plugins will be published by Slice)

Hi guys, i just installed jas 10.4.3 on a dell Dimension B110, Ethernet works, everything else works. Sound only works on the right channel and I had to change it to right 2 channel and left 6 channel for sound to come out. But it does not have play back. i can't play music from media players. It plays music from web pages though. how can i fix this? I have a AC97 Audio (PCM) btw. I want sound from both channels and play back, i'm new to this, thank you...
