6968608 Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Hi, could someone please point me in the right direction. I have a soltek 754 board with a Via 8237 sound chip. I downloaded Darwin 8.01 and extracted the AppleAC97Audio.kext, copied it into the correct extensions folder and chmod the file, OSX86 boots without errors but my system profiler says I have no sound device. I have checked the info.plist file in the Via.kext sub folder and the IOPCIPrimaryMatch string is 0x30591106 which matched my vendor 1106 (via) and the device 3059 (8237 chip). How do I get my system to detect the sound is there now, or make the VIA the specific sound card? thanks in advance Paul I have just tried this work around which didnt work.

micline Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 hi togehter, i think the VIA isn't the correct driver. I think we have to use "AppleAC97CodecAD198x.kext", cause of the ADI AD1980 Soundchip. Go to the Terminal and check the loaded "kext" with "kexstat" command. In my case the "AppleAC97AudioVIA.kext" (30591106) was already loaded, but i can't hear anything. How to make the System load the "AppleAC97CodecAD198x.kext" instead of the "AppleAC97AudioVIA.kext" automatically? Let's try so solve it togehter! ;-) Look at the following reference: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/D.../uid/TP40001063 There you can find all about Drivers etc. Regards, MICLINE Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/2161-help-please-with-via-8237-audio/#findComment-14026 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyrana Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 You could try just deleting or moving the kext you don't want to load... and then reboot and use the -f boot flag.

I have device 0x30591106, and AppleAC97AudioVIA has loaded (verify with kextstat) and is working (at least on the left channel), but nothing is appearing under System Profiler.

Paralex Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 I have the same problem, does anyone have a solution Im a n00b, so I don't know what to do... The system extension “/System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext“ was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product’s vendor for an update.
