alterego125 Posted September 20, 2005 Share Posted September 20, 2005 I am unable to get sound working on my Dell Inspiron 8200. I read the wiki and I understand that some people have gotten sound working with my machine. Apparently AC'97 should work fine on this machine, but no luck here. I read the audio wiki (http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Audio) but am unable to get past step 5 because I do not have the kext called AppleAC97AudioIntelICH.kext Any ideas on how to fix this. Can this kext be obtained somehow? Are there perhaps an patches or drives which I could download? I am using the Mac OSX 10.4.1 Generic install DVD that has the Maxxus Patch for SSE2 and the TPM crack. My laptop is a Pentium 4M 1.6Ghz, Nvidia GeForce 2 Go (32mb), 512 MB Ram, 40 gig HDD. I have everything else working fine, except the sound. It would be great to be able to listen to something with iTunes. Thanks for any help you can give me with this.

starodub Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 In my case there is a sound, but when I try to listen to something different to midi files - (I use QT for it) nothing happens, playback position doesn't move and I can hear only 1 ckick from the speakers Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/2756-no-sound-on-dell-inspiron-8200/#findComment-351249 Share on other sites More sharing options...
