1005HA 10.6.1 Mic issues

[jonnybleu]

If anyone can give me a clear walkthrough on how to make my mic work on my 1005HA with OS X 10.6.1 I'd REALLY appreciate it. Have tried various things with VoodooHDA to no avail, versions not matching up with KEXTS, always getting a "CANNOT MAP MEMORY" error when I try to install the prefpane.

 

Help please! Really would like to be able to use Skype on this machine. Currently I have no voodoohda kexts or prefpanes installed.

 

Thank you!

 

SOLVED:

 

6. Set up audio (speaker + mic)

- download VoodooHDA.zip from this forum (you need to sign up as member)

http://www.s10lenovo.com/viewtopic.php?f=1...start=20#p22215

- unzip the file, install the kext file with b7kexthelper (google for it)

- don't restart yet, Repair permission with Disk Utility, run UpdateExtra, then restart.

- Install the pref file by double clicking it, agree and install for all users

- go to the VoodooHDA pref panel, select "2.Microphone" and slide the cursor to middle for 'Recording level'

- go to the Sound pref panel, under input, check to see that you mic is working.
