Anonymouslyanonymous Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 The Audio hardware on Dell Dimension 3100 is Sigmatel 9200. *****N00B GUIDE - GETTING AUDIO ON DIMENSION 3100 AND ANY OTHER SYSTEM***** In order to have Audio working, download the AppleHDAPatcher (Latest version is 1.2) and the Linux codec Dump for your audio hardware or in this case Sigmatel 9200(which can be found in the attachment in my post). After extracting the Sigmatel 9200 txt file to the same folder as the AppleHDAPatcher(which is also in a zip file and needs to be extracted), drag the txt file you just downloaded on top of the AppleHDAPatcher and let go. This should start the patcher. Just follow the process of patching using the patcher. When you're done As always you will need to restart.... After restarting you should have your audio driver configured and working.

Sigmatel 9223, you can download the required Linux Codec Dump file from (just look for the file that corresponds to your card and right click the file and save as): http://psykopat.free.fr/apple/AppleHDA/sigmatel/ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/8479-dell-dimension-e3103100-guide/#findComment-573388 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running on a Dell Dimension E310 with HD Audio and I tried everything else before I saw this thread. Im also running Leopard 10.5.1 just incase anyone wants to know. Now the only thing left to fix is get my Linksys Wireless card working.
