Turtle Beach Santa Cruz Audio Problems

[asixpointedheart]

I've recently upgraded to 10.4.8, via JaS' SSE2/SSE3 DVD, and most everything went smoothly. I even managed to get my Netgear WG311T adapter working just fine, by following a couple of the guides here. I have to say that, while I'm new to the experience, I like MacOS X much better than Windows.

 

One thing that I am having trouble getting to work, though, is my audio. I have a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz sound card. Through my research here, I figured out that the card is AC97-compatible, so I followed this guide: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...t_Patching_List. I successfully completed it, insofar that the IntelICH kext was ultimately loaded; and then I cleared the cache files, and restarted the computer. But nothing changed with my sound options within the System Preferences panel. I'm not sure what I've done wrong

 

I put my device ID of 0x60031013 within the NVidia audio section of the kext -- as the first entry. Does the device ID need to be somewhere else, maybe? Am I just going about this the wrong way entirely? Or is doing this not even possible? Is there more within the NVidia section that I have to modify?

 

If anyone else needs any more information, just let me know. I'll be appreciative of any advice anyone can give me. Thank you for your time.

- sorry to be non-positive; but I very much doubt that a TBSC can be made to work under OS X. It cannot [AFAIK] be made to have any function in Win5.x as an AC97-compatible device [ie you must use its own drivers to have any function], & uses a custom version of some Crystal IC so doesn't have [the last time I looked] full function in Linux.

 

Simplest [if you need A1 quality audio] to get a supported M-Wave PCI device, or if your requirements are simpler to find a cheapo card with a supported [Realtec 88x etc] IC on it.
