ac97audio in 10.4.4 or 10.4.5

[max33]

Good morning everybody.

After reading a lot of post about the problem of the sound and still not working for me I a post a question.

I installed with the dvd MacOSX_10.4.4DVDPATCHED_Myz.iso of the torrent and first without the patch 10.4.5 and still no sound working.

I see in xp that i have a realtek AC97 and so i tried the appleAc97AudioIntellch.kext but impossible to load it.

I have a lot of different problem .I chmod all /System/Library/Extensions in 777 an chown root:weel but still doesnt want to load .

Before going more i would like to know if there is a special AppleAC97Audio.kext for 10.4.4 or 10.4.5 ???

I download the one of macgirl in a precedent post but it seems to be for 10.4.3 so ????

The second question is about idvd because when i want to launch it it crash ,is it normal?????

 

My system is

Medion laptop MD5973

P4 2.4 ghz

Ati radeon mobility 9000

Chipset sis 645dx

 

Thanks in advance .....

For me the AC97 audio kext in 10.4.3 worked, and none of the later versions did. I think the intention from macgirl is to use the 10.4.3 version of the file anyway... Just my guess

Hi,

I was having a lot of trouble getting the same extension working. At the same time ApplePS2Controller wasn't working with the same problems, so it took me a while to fix due to me not having keyboard or mouse.

Either way, the thing that worked for me was related to permissions, but Disk Utility fix permissions never did anything, and just setting the owner and stuff didn't work either.

Try this:

 

cd /System/Library/Extensions
sudo find AppleAC97Audio.kext -type d -exec /bin/chmod 0755 {} \;
sudo find AppleAC97Audio.kext -type f -exec /bin/chmod 0644 {} \;

sudo find AppleAC97AudioIntelICH -type d -exec /bin/chmod 0755 {} \;
sudo find AppleAC97AudioIntelICH -type f -exec /bin/chmod 0644 {} \;

 

This just fixes the permissions on the folders and files seperately inside the kext's

 

Hope this helps, it got me up and running.
