Edd Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Okkk I have been trying to get Audio working on my install but I have no luck. I have been looking and looking and someone said about replacing some files with ones from the Darwin CD. I did this, when I reboot the "IOAudiofamily.kext" claims that it has wrong permissions? And if I try to kextload it it says that it isn't authentic. So main point is, how do I sort my IOAudiofamily.kext out and once that is sorted what do I do to get sound working on here? Thanks a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagar Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 have you tried setting the permissions in terminal? in case: as root (or with sudo) do: chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/IOAudiofamily.kext chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/IOAudiofamily.kext (from memory, please excuse any errors) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edd Posted October 7, 2005 Author Share Posted October 7, 2005 thanks, that solved the problem with the IOAudiofamily.kext file. But I still have no sound, I have tried the tutorial on the wiki but no luck. Has anyone had any luck with getting Realtek AC97 Audio working?

Druid Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 make sure your AppleAC97Audio.kext is present then: cd /System/Library/Extensions sudo chown -R /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext kextload AppleAC97Audio.kext 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 There are a few commads that I think I used, they shouldnt be harmful....I havent never used a Mac untill I got started on osx, I dunno much except my sound wasnt workin and after lookin through a lotta topics then with help from DrJägermeister I think he is the audio guru around here also the wiki guide is good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miranda363 Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Sadly I still have no sound. and I tried the wiki guide but no luckAny other ideas? Many thanks What Realtek audio device is it you're using? cos some use the AppleAzaliaAudio.kext driver and have you got the IOHDAudio.kext? cos it may need that also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilditup1 Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 hi, i've the same trouble...when i type this line "sudo chown -R /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext" it says :"chown: illegal option --" You should have written: sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext I also am having trouble with Realtek. My Device ID is: 0x24c58086 8086 is Intel's vendor ID. What should I do? I did this install using the Generic.Install.DVD, and now I've heard that it doesn't have a lot of neccesary kexts.

bilditup1 Posted October 16, 2005 Share Posted October 16, 2005 Could someone post AppleAC97Audio.kext for me? The Generic DVD Install doesn't have it, and I'm burning without audio here. (And no, I'm not dling the whole damn darwin cd for this, nor am I installing deadmoo over the current install) EDIT: Finally got it working, found the kext in another thread on this very forum (thanks to google, no thanks to the forum search feature. Honestly!) YAY! Almost fully working osx86 ultralight! Taking pics now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJägermeister Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 You should have written: sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext I also am having trouble with Realtek.

You'll find the zipped kext you need in this post side 2 at the end. You don't need to configure it, your ID 24C58086 is configured for ICH4. You evtl need to load the kext yourself (like in the posting). This soundcard should work then. http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=2001&st=20 You need to boot with -x that you will have some sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
