SpaceLi Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 I installed MAC OS 10.4.5, and kextstat shows me that AppleAC97Audio driver has been loaded, but I still cannot find anything in the System Preference. The input/output device panel leaves blank. How can I make my soundcard work properly?? thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suser Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Please let us know first what soundcard you have because for some of them, like mine, the extension is loaded but no sound is produced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceLi Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 My soundcard is AC97 intergrated with Intel 855gm, the driver in WinXP shows me that it is SoundMAX. MAC OS can load the driver AppleAC97IntelICH, when I just type sudo kextload AppleAC97Audio.kext I can't believe that it can't find any devices although the correct driver is selected and loaded. thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subedai Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Hi i got a c-media ac97, same problem in 10.4.4 - driver loaded, no sound still - device id is in appleac97audioVIA.kext didnt even have to change that so confusing to me why its still not working? There is no output in system preferences or profiler, nothing in bios seems to fix it either (re the soundmax fix) - what else can i try? Chipset: VIA p4x266e with c-media 9738 Vendor ID: 1106 Device ID: 3059 (0x30591106 is in the kext as default so thats why its strange it doesnt "just work") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
