AC97 Sound Issue

[Leith]

Hey guys,

I'm highly confident in this community and am sure I can find help here, so far I have everything working except onoard NIC and sound right now. I'm not worried about the NIC as I have a PCI card doing its job:)

so, I tried some things to et my dound working, I followed the steps outlines in the wiki for installing sound, and no sound, no option for sound in the system prefs.

 

I did everything listed in the wiki outlined here:

http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Audio

 

using 10.4.5

 

My vendor ID is 10DE

and my device ID is 0059

 

When I look in the Info.plist for the audio kext, my stuff is already listed, when I run kextload I get the following errors, modified or otherwise.

kernel extension /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext/ has problems:
Authentication failures
{
"File owner/permissions are incorrect" = (
	"/System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext"
	"/System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext/Contents/Info.plist"
	"/System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext/Contents"
	"/System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext/Contents/MacOS/AppleAC97Audio"
	"/System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext/Contents/MacOS"
)
}

 

so, what is one to do/cry

Looks like it's a permission problem. Make sure the owner/group are root/wheel and permission is 755.

 

sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext

sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext

The ac97 in 10.4.5 is a serious problem! Could anyone provide a right working AppleAC97Audio.ketx in Mac OS 10.4.5?

A thousand thanks for your kindness.
