sacl Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Hi! I got snow leopard installed with empireefi. I have a gateway nv54 with Conexant SmartAudio HD and was wondering about a driver to use. I tried voodoohda, no dice, and modded applehda, kp. Any tips? Also I have an intel cantiga gm45 and I want native resolution. Any kexts out? I only have 1024x768, need 1360x900. Thanks, Sam Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/235708-audio/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamNCheese Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 Have you tried adding audio via EFIStudio? Otherwise, you may need another kext if it's not a vanilla card.

I got sound working last night with the GM45 Chipset kept from kexts.com. Now I need to get the video and sleep working. In chameleon, it says my video is "vesa v3.0 63mb (intel®cantiga graphics chip accelerated vga bios)". I looked into it, and I looks like I need grub as a boot loader. I'll have Os X back in an hour. I put a bad kext on. Kp's again. Sam Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/235708-audio/#findComment-1572869 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacl Posted October 30, 2010 Author Share Posted October 30, 2010 the common features are mentioned every where by every one, free easy to download and install media player, opens all file types and formats, up scaled voice and visual quality, simple control panel, DTS sound support, and all the stuff we heard and read about.What am trying to do here is dig deeper, go to the core, you have read also that it supports DVDs and CDs and other formats.So Download VLC now The problem is not a media problem. It is a kext issue. Sam Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/235708-audio/#findComment-1573188 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 "Conexant Smart HD Audio" is a marketing name, sometimes this is not useful at all when searching for drivers, several different devices may use the same name etc etc. Get device and vendor IDs of the audio device and use those as a search term instead. You can use the Windows Device Manager, LSPCI, linux Live CD, Everest or other System information utility for Windows, etc. There are many ways to pull this information. Here's another: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=219584 Quote Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/235708-audio/#findComment-1573190 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the audio working by downloading the chipset kext. Now I just need the video and sleep kexts. I have an intel gm45 chipset.

Gringo Vermelho Posted October 30, 2010 Share Posted October 30, 2010 There is no reason to quote an entire message when it's right above your reply. Use the same method to find the correct drivers for your on-board video. Good luck.
