joecop Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I have iDeneb 10.5.8 installed on a Gateway MT3707. Every thing works fine except the wireless which will be fixed once the usb adapter arrives and the audio. When installing I choose the sigmatel 9200 kext option in the audio but the device does not even show up once it boots up. This is my first go around with OS X so everything is strange to me. I tried to use the AppleHDA patcher and inject the sigmatel kext but when i dragged it into the icon like it instructed nothing happens. So I tried kexthelper, that seemed to actually add the kext but still no audio device shows up in the sound settings. Next I tried what dorkbydesign said here http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...l=sigmatel+9200, but when I type chown -R root:wheel SigmaTelAudioDriver.kext and hit enter I get a "no such directory exist" I also installed the AzeliaAudio.pkg the another thread said would work. That made the device show up in the sound setting but there is no sound actually coming from the speakers nor the headphones. Can some one help me?

dothacker Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 did you delete the kext for sigmatel 9200 before installing the azaliaaudio? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joecop Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 No I did not delete the kext for sigmatel, I did not know I should have. Do I just go to the folder where it is and delete it, or is there a special way to do it? Then should I try to re-install the Azelia driver?

joecop Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 I deleted the sigmatel.kext and re-installed the Azalia.pkg. Rebooted and still no sound. I must be doing something wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dothacker Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 did you go to System Preferences -- > Sound and checked if you have options this time? maybe you need to change the output from headphhones to speakers (choices in the system preferences).

joecop Posted February 6, 2011 Author Share Posted February 6, 2011 Yes I tried all that. I finally gave up and re-installed 10.5.7 and chose the VodooHDA option and now I have sound. Thanks for trying to help. Now all that is left is for my usb wifi dongle to arrive and I will have internet access. Is it ok to run the built in Apple Software Update? Or is that only for real macs?
