Hi there.

I've been trying to install iDeneb on my Dell Mini 9, and have got to the point where everything works except sound.

I did the following:

[1] Downloaded iDeneb 10.5.5 from TPB
[2] Partitioned using disk utility to 1 partition, GUID, HFS extended (no journalling). Installed using default options (ie nothing selected)
[3] Rebooted to white error screen
[4] Got this
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?jiininm5kgw - it's Type 11s EFI bootloader that contains all the Dell-specific drivers. I burned to a CD, booted with that and selected [80] as the boot device.
[5] Hurray, it started up and took me through the create accounts, etc process.
[6] Opened the CD, ran miniscript as a new install (said "no" to two-finger scrolling)
[7] On reboot, everything seems to work except sound. I can turn the volume up and down in System Preferences, but there's no actual sound from the speakers.

I've tried rebooting with -f flag, that seems to affect the display driver (but still no sound). I also tried booting with the platform=x86pc flag, that does the same thing as -f.

Does anyone have a dell mini and iDeneb 10.5.5 working with sound? Can you tell me how you did it, it feels like I'm really close, but I just can't seem to get there.

Cheers,
Silas.

Hiya, whats the sound card chipset?

The Dell Mini 9 uses an ALC268, I'm told.

But Type 11's installer supposedly installs the right sound drivers. I got hold of a retail disk this afternoon and have the exact same issue. (everything works except sound).

I'm starting to think maybe there's a setting in my BIOS I need to change, or maybe I need to update the bios.

Is there some sort of log file I can post which would help solve the problem? (or how can I copy / paste the results of a -v startup)? Or does someone have a dell mini 9 that they can reproduce this issue on>

Just in case it's the bios, here are the current settings:
Version: A00.
Speedstep: Enabled
No-execute memory protection: Disabled
(all others in advanced): Enabled

If anyone has a Dell Mini with working sound, can you tell me what the bios version is?

Cheers,
Silas.

Check this link, hope it helps, maybe you have to delete ALCinject, more info here

I did a bios update (to A02) and restarted a couple of times, and now sound works.

Yay! Garage Band rocks.

Thanks for your help anyway.

Cheers,
Silas.

Good to hear that, problem solved
