kona0197 Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Please forgive me if this is posted in the wrong area. I got OS X installed today. It is version 10.4.8. After install I noticed that I have no sound. My specs: Compaq 510 SFF machine Pentium 4 2.4 GHz 512 MB DDR memory 40 Gig HDD (yeah I know...) Onboard NIC and Sound Kyro 64 MB AGP graphics I have searched - can't seem to find any answers. Perhaps I'm not searching correctly. Any help would be appreciated.

Dr. Hurt Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 You need to tell us what sound card do you have to give you precise help. At least say if its HD or AC79. Anyway, go to this page: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=34075 It has information about most of the supported cards.

kona0197 Posted November 28, 2007 Author Share Posted November 28, 2007 When I was running Windows 2000 - the OS that came with this machine - It came with drivers for a Soundmax onboard audio. According to the Compaq website I have a ADI Soundmax AC97 Integrated Digital Audio chipset Kinda new to OS X what do I do next...

kona0197 Posted November 28, 2007 Author Share Posted November 28, 2007 After some digging around I can add this as well: I have a Intel 845G chipset. I still don't know exactly what audio chipset I have. Is there anyway to find out? I hope I can get this audio working. If not I guess it's off to Linux land.

macbrush Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 The simplest way is to boot into Windows, and then look at the ven_id and dev_id of your soundcard.

kona0197 Posted November 29, 2007 Author Share Posted November 29, 2007 I don't use Windows nor do I have a dual boot system. I use Linux most of the time. I booted into Linux and found these numbers: Product ID: 9413 Vendor ID: 32902 and 3601 My playback chipset in Linux is Intel 82801DB ICH4 Does this help? If nothing else I'm tempted to re-install Linux. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/73772-no-audio-compaq-510/#findComment-522349 Share on other sites More sharing options...
macbrush Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 The second easiest way is to boot into Linux (any live CD) and check out your soundcard's ven_id and dev_id. You can either go directly to /proc/pci to match up with /proc/bus/pci/devices or compile your own pciutil and use "lspci" and do match with "lspci -n".

kona0197 Posted December 1, 2007 Author Share Posted December 1, 2007 I'm still having these problems with no sound guys. I've tried every how to I've been pointed to and some I haven't. I try a how-to and it dosen't give me sound so I re-install and try another. At this point I have re-installed windows. Thanks guys but until a die-hard sulution is presented I have no choice.
