Check in Terminal for root:wheel onwnership and rw-r--r-- permissions, if not do the following sudo -s chmod -R 644 /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext/ chown -R root.wheel /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext/ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/3666-ac97-audio-guide-doenst-wotk/#findComment-23334 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dharbot Posted October 21, 2005 Author Share Posted October 21, 2005 Thank's everyone for your help. My problem is that I dont have that AppleAc97 folder in my System directory. I installed OSX using the generic install DVD. Everything works fine, but I dont have the AppleAC97 folder. But i got hold of the kext on the internet and put it in the correct folder. Thats where the problems started. Curious, why didnt I get the kext when I installed it? ( I hate being a newbie, But i'm determined to burn windows in a hot pile of melting brimstone. ) - Dharbot Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/3666-ac97-audio-guide-doenst-wotk/#findComment-23553 Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgirl Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Curious, why didnt I get the kext when I installed it? Because the Generic Install DVD doesn't installs it. In the deadmoo image it was installed from the Darwin CD.

Cyber96 Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 i follow this guide and it doesnt work. I cant kextload the appleac97audiointelich.kext I kextload the appleac97audio.kext and still nothing. I tried getting ym vendor and device d and input that but i dont see the **other ids** in the info.plist. any clues? thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/3666-ac97-audio-guide-doenst-wotk/#findComment-24261 Share on other sites More sharing options...
dharbot Posted October 25, 2005 Author Share Posted October 25, 2005 I had the same problem as you. Then i took MacGirl's advice and started all over again. I got my copy from http://pearpc.heartstringz.net/board/downl...f5156614abb70c9 After you extract and copy the kext into /System/Library/Extensions/ Set the premissions like MacGirl said " sudo -s chmod -R 644 /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext/ chown -R root.wheel /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext/ " Now you load load the kext cd /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext/Contents/PlugIns/ kextload AppleAC97AudioIntelICH.kext If everything is okay, you should have sound! Clean your extensions cache and Reboot: rm /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions I didn't have to mess with the Plist. If i'm not mistaken that is only for Nvidia cards? I'm not sure. Pardon my Newbiness!

Cyber96 Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I got it to work without editing the info.plist. At first I was editing it to work with the guide posted above, then when I fixed it everything worked out great.
