WaxTrax! Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 I posted this over on win2osx as well, but maybe I'll get a response here. Using a PCI card version of the CMI 8738 on 8F1111a(g), I went to install the last compiled 0.6.4 version of dogbert's driver, compiled for 10.4.3, and it didn't work. I opened up the project in Xcode and without changing anything, built the driver for my system, and it seemed to work. The sound card did work, until the system would randomly crash. For example, I used GarageBand for about 10 minutes with no problems, but a random sound like emptying the recycle bin, would make the computer crash. And if I tried to use iTunes, it'd crash the system after about 30 seconds of playback. Here's my portion of the thread over at win2osx: Page 6 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/1656-cmedia-8738/page/2/#findComment-38027 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hagar Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 (edited) AFAIK no-one ever got round to writing the input portion of this driver, so no microphone.. not your fault.

Thanks. I replaced my soundcard with this one to get sound with OS X. As I recall, I got the same message at first. Dogbert's driver was compiled for 10.4.1. Depending on which 10.4.3 build you have, the kext would be different. Simplest solution is to download the source code (its posted) then compile it yourself. The XCode tools to recompile it are on the DVD. Attached find my kext compiled for 10.4.3 1111g. It works on my system.

thewaker Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 Grabbed your compiled kext for 10.4.3, dropped it on my system and presto, it works fantastically now. I have an onboard AC'97 with one channel working, and it's great to have 2 channels working on the C-Media PCI card that I literally had kicking around.
