Ive tried every thing ive read and found, everything else works flawlessly, i kext the ac97 audio and all, the pkg and everything, still no audio. did or does anyone here know of anyway or someone who got their audio to work on this system?

I'm really new to this hackint0sh stuff.

I own a Optiplex 620 aswell.

Im trying to install iATKOS v7 in it but once I install the OS and try to make it boot the computer freezes on the grey screen with the apple on the middle.

What distribution did you use to install OSX on your dell optiplex gx620?

i used iatkos v7, u gotta use a kernel, i found the same problem, use the latest kernel in the installer think its 9.0.7 or something, and i fixed the audio, lemme know if you need help

Any progress with this baby? whats the audio chipset?

I just downloaded the kalyway 10.5.2 distro and was able to install and finally execute MAC OSX.

But guess what the audio doesnt work

How did you get the audio to work stuffie?

icchansan the audio chipset of my pc is:
Soundmax Integrated Digital Audio

I changed the distribution to iATKOS v7 aswell and installed the kernel 9.7.0 and as said, the instalation was a success.

I had to reinstall the OS again to update the drivers for our broadcom lan card and its working fine.

Nevertheless I can't get the sound to work. When I go to the sound option on the System Preferences it says "No input devices found".

I tried to install what icchansan told DigitALL on one post but after the reboot nothing changed. Cold you tell me how you got the sound to work please?

BTW I can't change the display settings, any clue on fixing this so I can have a better resolution? Is it a videocard driver or monitor problem?

Thnx Alot.

Hi Guys,

I'm a OSx86 noob too, and finally managed to get iATKOS v7 working with a patched kernel too (9.5.7 I think). Got network working via the BCM5751 install option, but no sound working. Quite a few posts say to change a file under the AppleAC97Audio.kext folder, but that doesn't exist on my setup.

Anyone know any solutions? Or any hints on how to get the AC97 kext installed.

Aside from that, OSx86 looks great ... can't believe I haven't done it before. Once I get the wife converted over to OSX, I work on the funding for a MacBook Pro!

Cheers, Cam

Maybe this is the brand or something but we need chipset model
Soundmax Integrated Digital Audio

In my case is Realtek but whichone?
there lots of models
Index of /apple/AppleHDA/realtek

You guys need to find out the chipset model, for now maybe try with voodooHDA, google it and good luck

To find out your chipset try downloading everest full version and report back your results
