I have a P4 laptop with an Intel ICH4 chipset (I think the model number is 82801 or similar). It works with OS X86 if i pass the option platform=X86PC at boot and patch it for SSE2. However the sound does not work. I followed the procedure of adding the PCI IDs in the wiki, but i found the ids (vendor 8086 and device 24C5) were already in the list under ICH4, as would be expected. The AppleAC97AudioIntelICH kext is auto-loaded on startup but no audio devices appear in system preferences. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get the sound working? is it possible that only the ICH5 drivers work because that was the chipset in the developer kits?

I also have ICH4 and it is working, without doing nothing special. I also have my vendor and device id already in Info.plist. The problem is that The sound works, but very very bad, like if i was on an old computer, like slow, I don´t really know where the problem can come from... any suggestions, would be really appreciated. I tried everything, i have read the fixing from the wiki, the ones in concretesurf, in 360hacking, and no idea...

 

Thx in advance.

I found the solution!!!! At last!!!

platform=x86pc

 

 

The file to edit is /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist

just find this part and write platform=x86pc

I have having the same issue. I know in Knoppix it uses the i810 driver. I would really like to have sound, so if anyone could help us out it would be much appreciated.

 

Edit: I'm booting from a Gateway 4530GZ laptop, 1.6GHz Pentium M (no SSE3).

Has anyone got this particular chipset working yet? I have everything else working fine, even networking, but no audio :D

 

I've been through every thread and have trimmed my Info.plist file down to just the ICH4 entries for the 0x24c58086 device and still no sound. and no audio device listed...

 

On a verbose startup, I get the following error:

 

AppleAC97AudioIntelICH : failed to create interrupt event source

 

I get this 5 times, even though I've stripped all but the ICH4 stuff out of the kext...

 

Any ideas? All almost ready to wipe XP and it's only this stopping me! :P

I am also with an ICH4, and I can get the kext to load and the device to show up in the sound system preferences. I only have 2 channels available for the midi trick (Utilities -> Audio Midi Setup), so I can't change where front left and front right are routed to. Not that it would matter as I'm using a laptop. Neither headphone jack nor internal speakers actually emit sound though. :(

I found that on my older ich4 system that I had to make sure that the AppleIntel830.kext was loaded before I was able to get sound. Find the thread on this board about adding this to your setup.

 

God luck.

(vendor 8086 and device 24C5)

 

Good news: you sound should work, just replace you kext:

Can you boot without "-x"? It's important I have no sound when I boot with "-x"

 

Replace the kext in /system/Library/extensions with this one (unzip it first):

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

You don't need to configure it, 24C58086 is still configured in ICH4.

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 you have sound now.
