boogiee Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Ey guys, I've got a Toshiba Tecra A2 with a Sigmatel C-Major soundcard with vendor ID 8086 and Device ID 24c5. If I follow the guide at the wiki, my soundcard doesn't show up. If I use the vendor ID from the vendor ID list somewhere else at this forum it doesn't show up either. The kext's load perfectly fine but I just don't get a soundcard in Systempreferences. Hope someone can help Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/12516-sigmatel-ac97-audio-tecra-a2/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
boogiee Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 I just found out that the kext gives a problem. When I look up the status of the kext (AppleAC97Audio.kext) it gives the following (translated from dutch) error: No valid version of this dependancy has been found It also says that the kext doesn't have a receipt. I hope someone knows what the solution for this would be.

boogiee Posted March 27, 2006 Author Share Posted March 27, 2006 This worked for me, in the bios itself set the configuration for devices not "via os" but via bios. Than your sound should work, how to get into the bios with a toshiba you can read here: Hmm, that sounds like something I should try, but I don't know how to access the BIOS settings on my laptop without installing Windows + that Toshiba utility for changing BIOS settings.. Is there any way to access the BIOS settings without this on a Toshiba laptop? EDIT: Never mind, it was just good ol' Escape.. I was trying Ctrl-alt-del, Del and a bunch of others when I found it.. silly me.. /mludd Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/12516-sigmatel-ac97-audio-tecra-a2/#findComment-83867 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jespera Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 i have the same soundcard, and it should work with no mods to the .kext, you just have to make sure you configure the bios device settings to "all devices" not "setup by os" and that should give you sound.

perfect0 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 I have the same sound card on an Inspiron 9200 but the sound is tinny since it seems that the subwoofer isn't working. Anyone else with similar issues? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/12516-sigmatel-ac97-audio-tecra-a2/#findComment-216633 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkoafo Posted May 18, 2007 Share Posted May 18, 2007 I git the exact same problem.. but I can't chang the device settings in my bios - as a matter of fact there is nothing that says device in my bios. I only have the tabs: main - advanced - security - display - boot - exit am I doing somthing wrong? or is my notebook bios not just not able to do this?
