SoundMAX Digital Audio

[lurker boy]

I am running OS X 10.4.1 with the 10.4.3 "update" - i installed off the dvd.

 

So, the HCL lists "SoundMax Integrated Digital Audio (AC97) works in stereo through mic in and optical out is enabled ! (simply followed the AC97 guide and activated SPDIF out in sound preferences)"

 

What does that mean?

 

My card is:

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_24D5&SUBSYS_01571028&REV_02

 

And I added

0x24d58086

 

to

<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>

in my

/System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleAC97AudioIntelICH.kext/Contents/Info.plist

 

file.

 

I can adjust the volume control, but I don't have any sound through my speakers.

 

Any thoughts? or is this card not supported yet?

 

Thanks.

Here's a the file, you don't need to configure it, 24D58086 is still configured in ICH5.

http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?ac...ype=post&id=528

Unzip it first and replace your own with it, then 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 you have sound now.

 

P.S: if I boot with -x I don't have sound, so be sure to boot normaly

Thanks! I did this and then found another post mentioning changing around the output in Audio MIDI (Utilities folder) to channels 3 & 4 and that did it!

i have the exact same problem, and the exact same soundcard, i replaced the kext and followed the steps as shown, but no sound yet.

 

p/s, i dont quite understand how to change to channels 3 n4? could u direct me to that post, or explain further?

thx

i tried doing this, but i get this error:

 

 6IOAC97AudioCodec is not compatible with its superclass, 9IOService superclass changed?
kextload: a link/load error occured for kernel extension appleac97audiointelich.kext
load failed for extension appleac97audiointelich.kext
(run kextload with -t for diagnostic output)

 

i seem to get this error with just about every kext i try to install.... what in the world am i doing wrong?!
