how do you install AppleAC97Audio.kext

 

I have ac97 sound on my laptop and was told you could install appleac97audio.kext in order to get sound but when I copied it to the extensions folder it tells me it was improperly installed, does any one know how to install this extension?

 

Taken from darwinISO extension folder

1) copy AppleAC97Audio.kext to /System/Library/Extensions

2) cd /System/Library/Extensions

3) sudo chown -R root:wheel AppleAC97Audio.kext

4) sudo chmod 755 AppleAC97Audio.kext

5) Restart

It can be anywhere. Best on the desktop, I suppose.

Im looking for the AC97 audio kext and i cant find it. Can someone point me to it? Im using the Generic Install DVD

[ocstony]

me 2. I also cannot find AppleAC97Audio.kext on hardisk and installation DVD. I am also using "Apple.OS.X.x86.10.4.Generic.Install.DVD release".

 

I think this release may have some problem. I am downloading another release "Mac OSX x86 generic install disc release1" see could solve the problem or not.

I got the file from the darwin iso file

 

then I copied the file to my desktop

 

then you copy it to your system/library/extensions/

 

then you follow the instructions posted above in terminal

 

then you restart and try itunes hopefully it works

 

worked in my old laptop- toshiba satellite

 

sounds awesome

I have found that if I use the Disk Utility to Correct file permissions accross the drive it will take care of all the chown and chmod commands when adding extensions. I'm sure most of use prefer the terminal window but i'm very lazy and find dropping things into folders then running the diskutil to be much easier and I hae yet to encounter a problem. Can anyone bring up an instance where this would eb a bad idea?
