Spotta Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Hi New to OSX, got it working today and now I'm trying to suss out installing drivers, starting with the sound. I found some ALC888 drivers and tried to install them as per this post http://www.insanelymac.com/lofiversion/index.php/t41677.html However on reboot I got ' The system extension was installed improperly.... ' The zip file gave me two files, ALCinject.kext and AppleHDA.kext. I placed both of these in System/Library/Extensions - was this the correct place? - should the second file gone in the AppleATA Plugin subfolder... I'd like to learn how to install drivers properly, got a few to do! It would also be nice to get the network connection up and running, my board has nvidia ethernet. I've had a look around and cannot find anything to get these working. is this correct - am I better off buying a compatible LAN card? Thanks Spotta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slab_Bulkhead Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Sometimes repairing permissions has solved that situation for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Like Deviant0ne said, use Kext Helper. Easiest way to do it. The other way to do it properly is to use the Terminal and a few cp -r commands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
