drumthrasher109 Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Alright, I'm going nuts! I updated to 10.5.7 and everything worked fine afterwards except for audio. It's for my Gateway laptop with Sigmatel 9250. I remember one day I found a zip file with the AppleHDApatcher, a custom AppleHDA.kext, and several codec dumps (and a few of them were specifically for Gateway laptops). I NEED TO FIND THIS FILE! It was the ONLY thing that has ever worked. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/166155-sigmatelstac-9250/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
phildo Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Alright, I'm going nuts! I updated to 10.5.7 and everything worked fine afterwards except for audio. It's for my Gateway laptop with Sigmatel 9250. I remember one day I found a zip file with the AppleHDApatcher, a custom AppleHDA.kext, and several codec dumps (and a few of them were specifically for Gateway laptops). I NEED TO FIND THIS FILE! It was the ONLY thing that has ever worked. I have a Gateway laptop with the exact same audio chipset. I bumped into your post when looking for a fix and was not able to find anything helpful so, after getting sound working, I thought I would post so hopefully anyone else looking won't hit a hurdle. I just booted into Linux via a LiveCD and catted the sound codex* to a txt file (don't try to copy into rich text - it won't work). I then used AppleHDAPatcher 1.20 to create the kext (module). I rebooted and viola - sound. You can download the codex dump I used as a text file or, if you need AppleHDAPatcher as well, grab the text file and the app in a zip. http://download.phildo.org/osx86/SigmaTel-STAC9250.txt http://download.phildo.org/osx86/STAC9250.zip I have a couple super cheap USB sound "cards" that for some reason have always worked! One is like this model: http://www.7store.net/computer-networking-...-card-p456.html The other is actually a really nice Creative that I got during an outlet sale for under $10 If you're at your wits end or you don't care and just want to get sound to at least work it may be worth a try. *There are other posts out there if you need to do this for a different chipset.
