glougloumouth Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Hello, Two days of efforts... I followed the wiki for sound but my card is listed there: Ubuntu says it's a 82801 CA/CAM AC97 Audio COntroller with vendor id 0x8086 and product id 0x2485, and in the AppleAC97AudioIntelICH.kext, if I look a the Info.plist file I have an entry in the "ICH3 AC97 Audio" section: <key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key> <string>0x24858086</string> that matches my card. The sound does not load at startup. I can manually load the AppleAC97AudioIntelICH.kext with no error. But there is still no sound... What did I wrong? Thanks. Gl.

glougloumouth Posted August 23, 2005 Author Share Posted August 23, 2005 Well, Deadmoo's VMware image, cleaned and patched (Maxxuss 0.41, but I had no sound prior to the patches). Then I used the Ubuntu live CD method to transfer to the Satellite Pro. It's really working well, stable and al but the sound... Any ideas out there?

glougloumouth Posted August 23, 2005 Author Share Posted August 23, 2005 SUCCESS !! I edited the Info.plist file and removed all sections but the one containing my card pci ID. As I found on other forums that working AC97 were in the section 4 or more (4, 5 or 99) I changed the 3 to 4 and shutdown the machine. After reboot, I had modules loading automatically at startup and SOUND !!! I don't have the machine with me now, I will post my Info.plist soon. I looks like the OS got confused by all the cards definition and by keeping just one, it found its way at last. So I belong to the wrong section now :-D Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/944-ac97-sound-not-working/#findComment-6174 Share on other sites More sharing options...
setec Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 My AC97 worked on install, but then I installed Maxxus-SSE3to2 v0.2 then it became garbled. Since I installed Maxxus-SSE3to2 v0.4 the AC97 sound works great. Also, for a speed issue, which can slow up the sound, delete the TDM module that uses up 95% of your system resources.

I looks like the OS got confused by all the cards definition and by keeping just one, it found its way at last. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Here is my truncated Info.plist - it's notably shorter and keeps only one section with one entry for the sound card: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList -1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>CFBundleDevelopmentRegion</key> <string>English</string> <key>CFBundleExecutable</key> <string>AppleAC97AudioIntelICH</string> <key>CFBundleGetInfoString</key> <string>1.0.0, Copyright Apple Computer, Inc. 2004</string> <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key> <string>com.apple.driver.AppleAC97AudioIntelICH</string> <key>CFBundleInfoDictionaryVersion</key> <string>6.0</string> <key>CFBundleName</key> <string>Intel ICHx AC97 Audio Driver</string> <key>CFBundlePackageType</key> <string>KEXT</string> <key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key> <string>1.0.0</string> <key>CFBundleSignature</key> <string>????</string> <key>CFBundleVersion</key> <string>1.0.0</string> <key>IOKitPersonalities</key> <dict> <key>ICH4 AC97 Audio</key> <dict> <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key> <string>com.apple.driver.AppleAC97AudioIntelICH</string> <key>ICH Type</key> <integer>4</integer> <key>IOClass</key> <string>AppleAC97AudioIntelICH</string> <key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key> <string>0x24858086</string> <key>IOProbeScore</key> <integer>10000</integer> <key>IOProviderClass</key> <string>IOPCIDevice</string> </dict> </dict> <key>OSBundleLibraries</key> <dict> <key>com.apple.driver.AppleAC97Audio</key> <string>1.0.0</string> <key>com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily</key> <string>1.1</string> </dict> </dict> </plist> Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/944-ac97-sound-not-working/#findComment-6517 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam0r Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 I've got the same sound chip as you, so i just copied over the Info.plist files, set the correct permissions and loaded the kext. I also had to change the devid and venid etc. I still don't get any sound though Is there anything else you did?

blackandblue Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 awesome, finally got the audio working again. i had it working twice before, but had no real idea of how i did it. Then i stuffed the install afew times setting up dual booting and started all over again. I changed the plist and set devices to manual configure in the bios. Ive got a tecra 9100, same audio chip as yours. 2485. again awesome!

Sam0r Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Do you think turning off 'PNP Operating System Intstalled?' in the bios would help things? *tries it* Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/944-ac97-sound-not-working/#findComment-11520 Share on other sites More sharing options...
slydecix Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 Do you think turning off 'PNP Operating System Intstalled?' in the bios would help things? *tries it* <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It worked!!! I don't think it's labeled the same in my Toshiba Portege M200 bios, but I just changed a setting from "Let Operating System Decide" to "Enable All Hardware" and now my sound works like a charm Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/944-ac97-sound-not-working/#findComment-11583 Share on other sites More sharing options...
