I have an MSI K8N neo and mine is not working. 2 people in the wiki report it working though.

 

If you have the nforce 3 250gb chipset, please post here if it's working for you and if you have taken any steps to make it work.

 

Thank you for your help.

 

I have the MSI Neo2 Platinum (Nforce 3, socket 939). I had no problems installing, but kernel_task took up 100% of the cpu. I simply disabled everything on the motherboard (fw, ethernet, sata, sound, etc) and now it works fine.

have you tried this?

it should solve the 100% cpu problem without you having to disable anything. It worked for me.

Hi guys, I have a neo2 platinum with Onboard lan and sound working. (listening mp3 right now :) )

 

I've only changed the Audio DEV and VENDOR ID on Nvidia AC97 Audio:

 

Path: /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleAC97AudioIntelICH.kext/Contents

 

File: Info.plist

 

<key>NVIDIA AC97 Audio</key>
               <dict>
                       <key>0x00ea10de</key>
                       <string>com.apple.driver.AppleAC97AudioIntelICH</string>
                       <key>ICH Type</key>
                       <integer>99</integer>
                       <key>IOClass</key>
                       <string>AppleAC97AudioIntelICH</string>
                       <key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>
                       <string>0x00da10de 0x006a10de 0x01b110de 0x00ea10de</st$
                       <key>IOProbeScore</key>
                       <integer>1000</integer>
                       <key>IOProviderClass</key>
                       <string>IOPCIDevice</string>
               </dict>

 

i just add the 0x00ea10de string (00ea is my VENDOR string and 10de is my DEV string):

<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>

<string>0x00da10de 0x006a10de 0x01b110de 0x00ea10de</st$

 

and followed the steps on Audio guide from wiki and sound is ON.

Here is the link to the guide: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Audio

 

I hope this can help u guys.

I did as you said however here is what I get when i Try to unload the kext

 

tiger-x86:/System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext root# kextunload AppleAC97AudioIntelICH.kext

kextunload: /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext/AppleAC97AudioIntelICH.kext: no such bundle file exists

can't add kext (file access/permissions).

tiger-x86:/System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext root#

 

and also

 

tiger-x86:/System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext/Contents/PlugIns root# kextunload AppleAC97AudioIntelICH.kext

can't add kext (not a bundle).

 

Notice I tried them from 2 diffrent directories.

 

Thanks HooKed

You're unloading the kext from the wrong directory. Your current working dir should be /System/Library/Extension and unload whatever kext you want by kextunload <nameofkext> OR state the full path to the kext. Ex. kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/<name of kext>.

My onboard LAN just needed to be configured, on System Preferences, Network, Built in Ethernet.

Just it. I didnt need to alter any file or something like.

Which nic are you using? The nvidia or marvell?

 

Edit: nevermind, i'll stick with my pci nic though the marvell port seemed to work.

 

The last hurdle now seems to be vpu drivers.

Did that worked great was able to load and unload AppleAC97Audio.kext

 

However Still no sound could it be because I had used macdrive to originaly edit Info.plist and maybe it messed it up by making it dos format?

 

Cant figure this our but thanks to all who are helping.

 

Let me know what I can paste to get the sound back up.

 

Thanks,

HooKed

:(

 

NEVERMIND I FIXED IT.........IT WAS WHAT I HAD EXPECTED!

 

Thanks for all who helped HooKed
