arewhyfour Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I've searched far and wide and I can't find a solution on this. I have a Sony Vaio laptop, model number VGN-N320E running OSX86 Leopard. Everything works fine (Wifi, battery, etc..) but I can't get any sound. I've looked on the forums where people have had similar problems, but their fixes don't work for me. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueAvenue Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 I have the same chipsets (950/945) as you and i just got my sound out working. Is that good enough for you? I'll show you what i did if the answer is yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueAvenue Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I followed this tutoial here on InsanelyMac with two minor changes. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...c=64754&hl= As you can see you have to have AppleAC97Audio.kext and AppleAzaliaAudio.kext in your /System/Library/Extensions folder. You also need your sound vendor id and device id. Plus you need to know your ich number, mine was ich7 but i do not know enough to say that yours would have to be the same. By the way, my vendor id is 0x8086 and my device id is 0x27d8. If you have Windows already on that laptop,supposedly you can use that to get those ids. Since i use linux,not Windows, i do not know how that is done. It is very easy info to get with linux. When you have the kexts and other info, post back and i'll talk about that tutorial. I'm off on disability presently so i can check this thread often here at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arewhyfour Posted February 18, 2008 Author Share Posted February 18, 2008 How would I get it with linux? I tried lspci, but it didn't show what I needed .. I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueAvenue Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I guess you could post on the Ubuntu forums to find out how to get those ids OR you could download PCLinuxOS 2007 live cd. Then after booting it up, click on the black and blue circular icon with a wrench and screwdriver in it. That takes you into the PCLinuxOS control center. Then click on Hardware from the list on the left side.Then click on the first icon that says "Look at and configure the hardware". Then click on your soundcard from the list that appears and you will get all the ids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arewhyfour Posted February 18, 2008 Author Share Posted February 18, 2008 That tutorial worked at face value. And PCLinuxOS seems nice :-) Thanks man. Thanks a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueAvenue Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Glad i could give back to the forums after i have gotten so much myself. Sound out is all i need because i generally wear headphones listening to a music cd or watching a dvd movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
