Sam0r Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 I've got a problem with getting the audio running. I've edited the Info.plist file, as said in the guide on the wiki, i've loaded the kext, which worked. But I still dont have sound. Nothing comes up in system profiler, nothing in the sound control panel applet, and no volume control. I'm using the Intel 845 chipset which has the intel 82801BA sound processor. Anyone care to help?! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/1435-audio-problem/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechnoFreak Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 as i recall in the audio guide it says you should change the NVIDIA part, instead you should try changing the ich2 part of the file (if you made any changes - you should revert them - if the same deviceid is in 2 different places of the same file it wont work) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/1435-audio-problem/#findComment-9346 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone care to help?! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I FOUND THE PROBLEM!!! you cant boot up in safe mode! when i boot up in safe mode -x to bypass the ati driver conflict, my sound driver doesnt appear at all. i finally deleted all my ati.kext in the extensions folder with MACDRIVE via windows. i tried deleting them in osx but it still wouldnt let me boot up without safe mode. MAC DRIVE has a full functional 6 day trial. go to my computer in windows after installing macdrive. open your mac drive with osx install on it. browse to "/System/Library" then right click on the Library folder and click search. type "ati" in search field. delete everything that comes up.if you have nvidia card do the same but delete all nvidia files. now you wont have to boot with the -x flag and your sound card will be available in system prefs now. just to prove safe mode was the problem. if i -x at the startup and log in safe mode my sound card disappears again.

Sam0r Posted August 31, 2005 Author Share Posted August 31, 2005 I wasn't booting in safe mode anyway! I'll give the ICH2 thingy a shot, How do you know if your card is an ICH 2, 3 or 4 or whatever card?

Sam0r Posted September 1, 2005 Author Share Posted September 1, 2005 google your soundcard chipset (intel 82801BA in the case above) there you will find the answer... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Oh right, I thought it was written on the board or somthing. Well, Its an ICH2 chipset. So that means that the Device id and Vendor id must go in the ich2 section. What do I do about the rest? They all seem to have the same dev and ven id as my card //edit Well, I deleted all the dict sections apart from the ICH2 one, and added my dev/ven id in there (which was already there). I loaded the kext, which worked. But I still don't get any sound. The Sound control panel applet thingy tells me there's no sound card installed.

Sam0r Posted September 1, 2005 Author Share Posted September 1, 2005 Strange. The AppleAC97AudioIntelICH.kext loads perfectly, it even comes up with i do the kextstat command. Yet, it doesn't appear in the list when i go into the extentions part of system profiler. sams-computer:/Users/sam root# cd /System/Library/Extensions sams-computer:/System/Library/Extensions root# kextload AppleAC97Audio.kext kextload: AppleAC97Audio.kext loaded successfully sams-computer:/System/Library/Extensions root# kextstat Index Refs Address Size Wired Name (Version) <Linked Against> 1 1 0x0 0x0 0x0 com.apple.kernel (8.1.0) <snip> 56 0 0xd749c000 0x8000 0x7000 com.apple.driver.AppleIntel8255x (1.4) <53 22 5 4 3 2> 57 1 0xd7414000 0x16000 0x15000 com.apple.iokit.IOAudioFamily (1.5.5b2) <31 11> 59 0 0xd999a000 0xd000 0xc000 com.apple.driver.AppleAC97Audio (1.0.0) <57 11> sams-computer:/System/Library/Extensions root# Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/1435-audio-problem/#findComment-11062 Share on other sites More sharing options...
