Svigi Posted April 23, 2006 Share Posted April 23, 2006 The driver wouldn't load on my 10.4.6. I recompiled it under .6 Try this...CMI8738.zip Greywolf thanks, it loads without any error, but I cannot find my sound device under System Preferences - Audio. Shall I change something in the plist file or try to upgrade a newer OSX? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkla Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 The driver wouldn't load on my 10.4.6. I recompiled it under .6 Try this...CMI8738.zip Thanks GreyWolf. It works like a charm. I had no sound with my mobo chipset so I just went to Fry's and bought a cheap $12 soundcard -- a good solution for my particular situation. Earlier in this thread it mentioned that this driver was output-only (i.e., no mic input). Is that still true? Either way, my ears thank you for your efforts.

dogbert Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 I've created a page for the driver which contains the source, the binaries for 10.4.1, 10.4.3 (works on 10.4.4 and 10.4.5, too) and some information for the driver - if you have some suggestions for the page, feel free t o mail me or post it here. http://scifi.pages.at/ffm-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Madness Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Sorry to bother everybody but I've tried all the things you said to install the dogbert's driver for my sound card (Hercules Muse 5.1 with the C-Media 8738 chipset) : I've copy the *.kext in the /Library/Extensions folder and I've used this command to load it : "kextload -t /System/Library/Extensions/CMI8738PCIAudioDriver.kext" And OSX said that to me : kernel extension /System/Library/Extensions/CMI8738PCIAudioDriver.kext has problems: Authentication failures { "File owner/permissions are incorrect" = ( "/System/Library/Extensions/CMI8738PCIAudioDriver.kext" "/System/Library/Extensions/CMI8738PCIAudioDriver.kext/Contents/Info.plist" "/System/Library/Extensions/CMI8738PCIAudioDriver.kext/Contents" "/System/Library/Extensions/CMI8738PCIAudioDriver.kext/Contents/MacOS/CMI8738PCIAudioDriver" "/System/Library/Extensions/CMI8738PCIAudioDriver.kext/Contents/MacOS" ) } What can I do???????????????????

Tavo Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Hi, I don't know if this goes off topic but i've found a cheap sound card that works great in OSX 10.4.5 This card is the old Creative CT4810 PCI, whit this card, finally, I can plug my analog microphone. I have Line Out, Line In, Mic, CD IN, Stereo Mix, Mono Mix, and works great. I hope this help you out guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hagar Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 The ct4810 uses maxuuss's 1371 soundblaster driver, so it is a bit off-topic. some people experience soem stuttering with this card. The advantage is that it is often available free or cheap. I have 4 of them myself that I have picked up for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tavo Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Thanks for the reply, but actually i use it just to plug my analog microphone, and for the line out I use my HD Audio Output. No more answers please cause this post is off-topic. Thanks and bye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antiben Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 hi everybody since i have no luck with my onboard realtek ac97 audio ( sis 1039 7012 ) i've tried some old pci 5.1 soundcard flying round. on the packing its written that this card has a c-media 8738 chip // edit (later found this thread) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deffer Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 Nothing... keeps me saying that it's not compatible with its superclass....I'm using JaS 10.4.6 Same problem here. Any solution yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deffer Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 The driver wouldn't load on my 10.4.6. I recompiled it under .6 Try this...CMI8738.zip Can you tell me how to recompile by myself? I have 10.4.6 too. I downloaded your file, but still get the superclass error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deffer Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 I replaced my soundcard with this one to get sound with OS X. As I recall, I got the same message at first. Dogbert's driver was compiled for 10.4.1. Depending on which 10.4.3 build you have, the kext would be different. Simplest solution is to download the source code (its posted) then compile it yourself. The XCode tools to recompile it are on the DVD. Attached find my kext compiled for 10.4.3 1111g. It works on my system. It worked with that!!! I'm listening a MP3 right now in 10.4.6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deffer Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 But I can't get it work in 10.4.6 Try the one I mention above. I had the same problem as you and that one worked for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustInSane Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Installing the binary results in the same classic "xxx is not compatible with its superclass, 13IOAudioEngine superclass changed?" error that many others are getting. When I download the source, open the project in XCode, and click "build", XCode simply terminates. Is there a simple commandline way to build this thing? My environment: Soyo P4I875P motherboard (w/ onboard CMedia CM8738 6 Ch.) OS X 10.4.3 binary file used: CMI8738PCIAudioDriver-0.6.4-1043.tar.gz src file used: CMI8738PCIAudioDriver-0.6.4-src.tar.gz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r11r Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Thanks dogbert, Hydrasworld, and GreyWolf for the recompile (and anyone else who helped with this). Finally I have sound on my P4B266. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
