Storm PCS Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Please help! I've tried many methods and have not been able to get sound on my 5672 running 10.4.6 OSX. Has anybody with this laptop (5672 w/ x1600/1GB/Realtek HD Audio) been able to get sound on 10.4.6 JaS OSX? Also, I'd like instructions on getting LAN to work as well. Thanks very much in advance!

Rammjet Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Go into System Profiler and determine the Vendor ID and Device ID for both the audio and the LAN. If System Profiler won't tell you (expecially on the sound), try it in Windows using hardware properties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm PCS Posted August 5, 2006 Author Share Posted August 5, 2006 Thanks for the quick reply. I know the vendor and device ID's. I just don't know what to do with them. ????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Well if you share them so that we know what devices you have, then someone might know what to do with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm PCS Posted August 5, 2006 Author Share Posted August 5, 2006 Oh, sorry. With first four digits being Vendor ID and last four Device ID: Broadcom Gigabit LAN 14e4169d and Realtek HD Audio 10ec0883 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 For LAN, try this: Download the file located in this posting: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=129533 And follow the directions posted here: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=146182 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm PCS Posted August 5, 2006 Author Share Posted August 5, 2006 Cool, thanks! Does the NIC need to be enabled in Windows (I normally use wireless so it's disabled in XP) or does it matter? Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 No, it doesn't need to be enabled in Windows. Before I make a recommendation for sound, I need another Vendor/Device ID. Go to Terminal and type: ioreg -l > ~/Desktop/ioreg.txt (that is the lowercase L beside the dash) On the Desktop, open ioreg.txt (double-click on it and TextEdit should open it) Find the text: AppleAzaliaController In the block of text right before that, find something like this: "name" = "pci8086,27d8" Give me those values.

Storm PCS Posted August 5, 2006 Author Share Posted August 5, 2006 Ok....This may take awhile because I have to step out for a few. When I get the info I'll post again. Thanks loads for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm PCS Posted August 5, 2006 Author Share Posted August 5, 2006 I checked and that test (AppleAzaliaController) is not present in ioreg.txt. Do I need to install something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Look in the following directory /System/Library/Extensions for: AppleAzaliaAudio.kext If it is not there, it makes me suspicious of your installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm PCS Posted August 5, 2006 Author Share Posted August 5, 2006 It's there. I typed this exactly. ioreg -l > ~/Desktop/ioreg.txt Is there something in the path that should be different? Please assume I know very little about OSX, because that is the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 No, since you actually got a file with text in it, you typed the command correctly. I would ask that you try again and use the Find feature in TextEdit to look for Azalia. Find can be invoked by pressing Command-F or going to the Edit menu, select Find -> Find...

Storm PCS Posted August 5, 2006 Author Share Posted August 5, 2006 I did that but I'll try it again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm PCS Posted August 5, 2006 Author Share Posted August 5, 2006 Nope...it's not there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Well, if you ever boot into Windows, go to Device Manager -> System Devices and look for something "audio". Get Properties and click on Details tab and get the vendor and device ids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm PCS Posted August 5, 2006 Author Share Posted August 5, 2006 I did. The HD Audio is 10ec0883 and the Chipset is 27d88086 Does that sound right? BTW...no joy on the ethernet. I did everything (except the hex edit because the person who posted the file said it wasn't necessary). She had already added my device and made the other changes (supposedly). Maybe I followed the wrong instructions. Could you copy and paste the instructions instead of just the link? I want to make sure I followed the right instructions. I'd like to get the ethernet working so I don't have to keep rebooting to post here about the sound. Do you think I should get 10.4.7 and give it a try instead or do you think I could get this to work? Thanks again for your time. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 The HD Audio is 10ec0883 and the Chipset is 27d88086 Then take those two numbers and use them in this: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=18642 BTW...no joy on the ethernet. I did everything (except the hex edit because the person who posted the file said it wasn't necessary). She had already added my device and made the other changes (supposedly). Maybe I followed the wrong instructions. Could you copy and paste the instructions instead of just the link? I want to make sure I followed the right instructions. I'd like to get the ethernet working so I don't have to keep rebooting to post here about the sound. Maybe you should do the hex edits. Here are the instructions: 1) download the AppleBCM5701Ethernet.kext.zip file that dark elf linked to. 2) extract it...and you need to edit info.plist (i used windows wordpad for this, its easiest this way because you dont have to deal with permissions...but you could use sudo nano in osx): find the sequence: <array> ... <string>pci14e4,165e</string> and add: <string>pci14e4,169d</string> Save it. 3)get yourself a hex editor, and open up "AppleBCM5701Ethernet" (the file with no extension) use search and replace, and find everything with "66 81 FA 59 16" and replace with "66 81 FA 9D 16" (i.e. use replace all...you should get around 40-50 replacements) 4) search and replace --- "75 71" to "EB 71" (i.e. replace all...should only be one replacement) Save the "AppleBCM5701Ethernet" file. 5) in osx, copy over the .kext file to /systems/library/extensions/ 6) in osx open up terminal and follow the commands set out by hater and tinhead, namely: sudo -s cd / cd /System/Library/Extensions/ ln -s IONetworkingFamily.kext com.apple.iokit.IONetworkingFamily.kext rm /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache rm /System/Library/Extensions.mkext chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions rm /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kernelcaches/* kextcache -c 7) reboot Do you think I should get 10.4.7 and give it a try instead or do you think I could get this to work? There is nothing in 10.4.7 that you don't already have right now relative to sound and Lan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm PCS Posted August 5, 2006 Author Share Posted August 5, 2006 Ok, I'll try it when I get back from dinner in a couple of hours. Cheers, and thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm PCS Posted August 6, 2006 Author Share Posted August 6, 2006 Well, you're the man! Had system sounds, CD Audio worked with itunes and everything. Then I got greedy and put a DVD in. Now I have no sound of any kind. It still shows the slider but no sound. Did I do something wrong? Should I not have tried to get DVD audio? As always, thanks for your help. UPDATE: Sound's back and working fine. (Came back after going to XP and then back to OSX.) Don't know why the DVD audio doesn't work. I'll try another DVD. Any idea about the Broadcom NIC? Thanks so much for the sound! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammjet Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 1) Does it come back if you reboot? 2) If no, does it come back if you boot into Windows and then boot into OSX? Several people recommend staying away from Apple DVD player and using VLC instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm PCS Posted August 6, 2006 Author Share Posted August 6, 2006 Yep, came back after Win XP. I have plenty of DVD players in XP, so I'll probably avoid playing DVD movies on the Mac side. Any ideas on how I may get the NIC working? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rammjet Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Could it be that the files were not copied to the correct place? You would be the one to know since you copied them. Go to System/Library/Extensions and look for/at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
