BigDaddy5 Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Hardware: Toshiba Satellite, Intel AC97 sound, SSE2 proc Installation method: Release1 patch on Phenix release DVD Well, little background. The initial installation, after 4 other unsuccessful installation methods, sound worked. Then I wanted to dual-boot XP and OS X. So I reformatted, using the Disk Utility, made an HF+ partition, and left the rest unpartitioned. Booted up the XP CD, and began to install. Then I installed OS X, second. After that second install, sound no longer worked. I checked the AppleAC97Audio.kext, and indeed my Vendor and Device ID's were present under ICH4 (24c58086), but for some reason I don't have my sound card under "system profile" in the sound settings. Nor in the "About this Mac" system profiler. I tried copying the Darwin kext's over, but I was under the impression that Release1 patch already does that. Either way, it didn't work. I tried to manually kextload the .kext just incase, but it didn't work either. I'm fresh out of ideas, and what really stumps me is that sound worked on this DVD installation before (it's the same patched DVD I used originally), but now it doesn't. Any advice would be appreciated. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/3148-another-sound-issue/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgirl Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 I checked the AppleAC97Audio.kext, and indeed my Vendor and Device ID's were present under ICH4 (24c58086), but for some reason I don't have my sound card under "system profile" in the sound settings. Nor in the "About this Mac" system profiler. I also have nothing is System Profiler, but my sounds work. I have nothing in PCI cards ins System profiler and my NIC is a PCI card that works. So System Profiler not show everything. What matters is if keststat shows audio extensions.

BigDaddy5 Posted October 2, 2005 Author Share Posted October 2, 2005 kextstat -k didn't show the audio kext's loaded, so I manually loaded them. Sound still didn't work on either side.

macgirl Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Someone said that he removed the audio kexts, reboot, then copy from Darwin CD, remove Extensions caches, reboot and worked. Don't hurt to try... Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/3148-another-sound-issue/#findComment-20226 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDaddy5 Posted October 3, 2005 Author Share Posted October 3, 2005 Well, I gave it a shot, and I got an error on boot about being improperly installed (as to be expected), did the chmod -755, didn't get an error on boot, but now I get "kextload: cannot resolve dependencies for kernel extension appleac97audio.kext." Tried searching, but for some reason it doesn't let me search 2 words.

DrJägermeister Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Do you boot with "-x" or withou a option? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/3148-another-sound-issue/#findComment-20440 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDaddy5 Posted October 4, 2005 Author Share Posted October 4, 2005 Do you boot with "-x" or withou a option? Without, I'm able to boot without safe mode or diagnostic mode, so I figure why not.

DrJägermeister Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Without, I'm able to boot without safe mode or diagnostic mode, so I figure why not. Try replace the kext like Macgirl told you before, you can find it on the Darwin CD or here (it's zipped): http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?ac...ype=post&id=528 You don't need to configure it, 24C58086 is still configured in IC4. If you still don't have sound after a reboot so try to load the kernel extension yourself: # sudo -s # chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions # cd /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ # kextload AppleAC97AudioIntelICH.kext then clean your extensions cache: # rm /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache # kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions Reboot and hope that it works Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/3148-another-sound-issue/#findComment-20544 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDaddy5 Posted October 5, 2005 Author Share Posted October 5, 2005 # kextload AppleAC97AudioIntelICH.kext Mk, I replaced it like she told me to, and manually loaded the kext like you told me to, and I got: kextload: kext doesn't have all dependencieskextload: can't generate internal dependency graph for AppleAC97AudioIntelICH.kext load failed for extension AppleAC97AudioIntelICH.kext (run kextload with -t for diagnostic output) "kextload -t" yields: kextload: extension AppleAC97AudioIntelICH.kext appears to be validkextload: cannot resolve dependencies for kernel extension AppleAC97AudioIntelICH.kext Anyway ideas to fix that?

DrJägermeister Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Anyway ideas to fix that? Do you have the darwin iso? Try to delete this files in /System/Library/Extensions (if they are present): - IOAudiofamilie.kext - AudioDeviceTreeUpdater.kext - VirtualAudioDriver.kext Copy them again on your system from the Darwin iso. clean you kext cache: # rm /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache # kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions and reboot If you still have'nt any sound try to load the AppleAC97Audio.kext again Good luck Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/3148-another-sound-issue/#findComment-20643 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDaddy5 Posted October 7, 2005 Author Share Posted October 7, 2005 Well, I managed to get the .kexts loaded, or at least most of them. IOAudioFamily, AppleAC97Audio, and AppleAC97AudioIntelICH will all load on boot, but AudioDeviceTreeUpdater will not. When I load that one manually, the others disappear from my list, and I have to reload them. VirtualAudioDriver wont load at all, though, because: kld(): warning /System/Library/Extensions/virtualaudiodriver.kext/Contents/MacOS/VirtualAudioDriver cputype (18, architecture ppc) does not match cputype (7 architecture i386) of objects files previously loaded (file not loaded) So when I load AudioDeviceTreeUpdater, and the others disappear, and I reload them, I still don't get sound. Does the VirtualAudioDriver have anything to do with it? Should I be manually loading the AudioDeviceTreeUpdater, or just leave the 3 loading on boot alone? And if so, what's the next step to try for sound, because even with those 3, it's still not working. Actually, when I do anything with kextload, those 3 disappear from my kextstat.

SpaceLi Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 I also have problem with my Toshiba Satellite A10,855gm,SoundMAX, when I just loaded the kext as follows: sudo kextload -t AppleAC97Audio.kext the system replied: kextload: extension AppleAC97Audio.kext appears to be valid 16IOAC97AudioCodec is not compatible with its superclass, 9IOService superclass changed? kextload: a link/load error occured for kernel extension AppleAC97Audio.kext load failed for extension AppleAC97Audio.kext (run kextload with -t for diagnostic output) The device ID is 24c58086, I don't know why it doesn't work.

Callysto Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 I think this depends both on your version of OS X and the version of the AppleAC97Audio.kext. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/3148-another-sound-issue/#findComment-78095 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrei OSX Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Well, my toshiba is an A15-S129. The technical data tells us that the soundcard is an AD1981. Exactly as the gentleman who started this thread I tried anything, and I mean anything I found and anything I tought it might work. I'm quite familiar with unixs and windows boxes, this is not science fiction for me, but... could it be that this card it's not working at all ? from what i've read in the kexts it sould work, the device id is there, the vendor id is there, so.. where is the problem ? this card should be working but it's not. If I could get this card working I would give up windows until I get a nice iBook, unfortunately I don't have the money to spend on a new laptop right now ) Should we hope ? I hope yes now i'm starting to get melodramathic so I sould end this here. if anybody should get this card working , please post it here, I'll do the same as soon as I hear a bell in my speakers. Good Luck to everyone ----------------------------- Andrei, always in search for the damn AC97 driver Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/3148-another-sound-issue/#findComment-79065 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrei OSX Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 Well I followed the instruction above, and all I get is this: kextload -t /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleAC97AudioIntelICH.kext kextload: extension /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleAC97AudioIntelICH.kext appears to be valid 16IOAC97AudioCodec is not compatible with its superclass, 9IOService superclass changed? kextload: a link/load error occured for kernel extension /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleAC97AudioIntelICH.kext load failed for extension /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleAC97AudioIntelICH.kext (run kextload with -t for diagnostic output) It tries to load the AC97 at boot but fails to load it also. I copied the kexts from Darwin 8.0.1. Device and vendor id 24c5 8086. Toshiba satellite A15 - S129. Even cleared the kext cache and rebooted, same thing after reboot, no output device.
