ParkAvenger Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Hello, I've gotten JaS 10.4.7 installed and it's running okay, but sound is still not working. I've got a Gigabyte K8N Pro-SLI motherboard, which uses Realtek ALC850 AC97 audio. I tried the little AppleAzaleaAudio installer pkg (since I don't know the terminal very well), but that didn't work. So I decided to try the AppleAC97Audio.kext. Problem is, when I go into terminal and type sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext It returns an error that "extension is not authentic (check ownership and permissions)". How can I fix this so that I can load the kext? Also, whenever I try to unload any other kext (doesn't matter what), it says the unload failed. I even tried to load the AppleAzaleaAudio.kext manually, but that failed too. What's going on here? I just want to get sound working Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/60679-kext-loadingunloading-problems-please-help/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asure Posted August 20, 2007 Share Posted August 20, 2007 sudo chown root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext sudo chmod 755 /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext Try this. Let us know if it helps Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/60679-kext-loadingunloading-problems-please-help/#findComment-431772 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkAvenger Posted August 20, 2007 Author Share Posted August 20, 2007 Alright, thanks very much. I'll try it in just a moment. However, I recently found out that it returns the same error when trying to load the AppleAzaliaAudio.kext as well - might be a disk permissions issue? I'm going to try that fixing disk permissions as well, I'll post again once I've tried those two things.

ParkAvenger Posted August 20, 2007 Author Share Posted August 20, 2007 Just tried those things. The AppleAC97Audio.kext still refuses to be loaded (not authentic, it says. I don't care! I'm ROOT!) but the AppleAzaleaAudio.kext loaded this time. Problem is, it doesn't work. So, still looking for a solution. If I could just get the OS to recognize that AC97 kext as authentic, I'd be a big step closer to having sound. If anyone has ANY ideas on how I might do this, it'd be greatly appreciated.
