I cannot get my soundcard and my ethernet to work. Here are my specs:

- 15,4" WXGA Display
- Celeron M 530 - 1.73 GHz
- Intel Santa Rosa Chipsatz (Intel 965)
- Intel GMA X3100 Grafik
- 1Gb
- 80 GB S-ATA Seagate Momentus 5400 ST980811AS
- Wireless LAN Broadcom 54 MBit/s
- LG GSA-T20N 16x Multiburner DVD-RAM
- Card Reader SD/MMC/Memory Stick/Memory Stick Pro/XD Card
- Firewire
- 4x USB 2.0
- Gigabit LAN

I use Leo4all 10.5.2. The sound card is a Realtek HD, but i cannot find out which one. The lan card is not that important, because WLAN already works. (I´m typing this with my hackintosh ). You cannot imagine how happy I am at the moment, that my pc runs os x(just a few more months, than I´ll buy a real one )
Hope you can help me.

Take care

Thx for the warm welcome.
For the soundcard it says: Device ID: 0x1025011F
I´m still looking for the ethernet card, because the device name is not even in the manual. When I´ve found it i´ll post it.

take care

Welcome to Infinitemac forum dude, we're glad its all (heh more or less) workig fine for you

Try to find in Mac, or in Windows, vendor and device id of your sound chip. Probably its an ALC one just find out which one. Go to Control Panel->Device Manager Realtek and then under properties.advanced or something look for dev/ven ID (its a long string). Also search for your ethernet information, i assume its a laptop so you can look for its detailed specifications; once you have it the rest goes pretty smoothly

Field Note #3 @milanca 2008-11-01

Congrats! Lan would be also easy thing to do and then you are completely ready to roll, hehe, and rock
