Asmodeus Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 I have a Soyo Dragon Ultra board with a C-Media sound card in it. I tried changing the KEXT files....and had no luck. Anyone have any luck getting C-Media onboard cards to work? The following page shows C-Media on the working list. Anyone have any ideas?

If it can be done in OS X or Windows let me know. The onboard audio chip is "A: On board CMI 8738 providing 6-channel audio solution / optical and SPDIF output included for crisp digital audio" Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/656-c-media-sound-card/#findComment-4133 Share on other sites More sharing options...
