AC97 file not authenticated? Help with sound...

[Chordate]

I extracted the AC97 file from the X86 ISO into extensions folder. It asked for me to authenticate, and I did that. I then opened the terminal and followed this:

 

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

 

Although I skiped steps 7-9 (my friend has the exact same computer as me, he did the same and it worked).

 

So I get to the final step, and then is says that the comand can not be performed because the AppleAC97 file is not authenticated... ?

 

What is going on here, anyone have a fix?

 

Thanks,

Chordate

Make sure you did step 11, then open a terminal window:

 

% sudo rm /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache
% sudo kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions

Make sure you did step 11, then open a terminal window:

 

% sudo rm /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache
% sudo kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

 

I did step 11, and then did your two steps before step 12. If I used the "%" it said "fg %: no such job." If I did not use the "%" then it would not show that it did anything, and when I go to step 12, I get the same response.

Try doing this:

Open Terminal

type "su" (without the quotes) and hit enter. When asked for the password type in your password. You should now be logged in as root.

Now type:

chown -R Root:wheel /system/library/extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext (now press Enter)

Now type:

chmod 755 /system/library/extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext (press enter)

Test by typing:

kextload /system/Library/extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext

Everything should load fine. If that doesn't work because you can't login as root put a "sudo" in from of chown and chmod. Use the sudo without the quotes.

Or try a slightly similar method:

 

You have to set the correct permissions, otherwise you'll get the "not properly installed" error.

 

Slap in the Darwin 8.01 cdrom

Go to terminal

 

$ cd /System/Library/Extensions

$ sudo cp -R /Volumes/Darwin8_i386/System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext .

$ sudo chmod -R 755 AppleAC97Audio.kext

$ sudo chown -R root:wheel AppleAC97Audio.kext

 

This set the correct ownership and privileges, after which I was able to:

 

sudo kextload AppleAC97Audio.kext

sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext/Contents/Plugins/AppleAC97AudioVIA.kext

 

Reboot

 

Now your sound should work.
