iSub 2000 Fix. By Paul Blohm


If you wish to donate, my paypal is pauljblohm@gmail.com. Any donations are greatly appreciated.
Note for the 10.5.8 fix:
It has been reported that when you install and restart, it may not work. If this happens, startup your computer with the iSub plugged in, unplug the iSub WHILE THE COMPUTER IS ON, then restart, and plug it in again right after the chime. That should work.

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

If you have an Intel based Mac, DO NOT use this fix.

Here we go. You'll need for this to work:

AppleUSBAudio.kext, IOAudioFamily.kext, AppleAC97Audio.kext (Provided in zip)
Terminal
An iSub

THE CONS:
You need to hook up your audio config before you start up. (i.e. You cant plug in or unplug any speakers or iSub when it is powered on)
You'll probably have to avoid iChat. I've seen it cause issues with htis.  Get Adium instead.
There may be other limitations, you'll have to see when you install it.

Ok, Thanks to Chris C, all you have to do is this:

1. Drag all the contents of this folder TO YOUR DESKTOP.
2. Open Terminal and type "cd ~/Desktop" (Without the quotes)
3. Now, with everything on your desktop, type "./iSub.sh" (Again, without the quotes)
4. During the installation, you will have to enter your password. In terminal, the asterisks WILL NOT show up, so make sure you enter it correctly, then hit enter.
5. As long as everything was on your desktop, no errors should have occurred. If you get a "rm: /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache: No such file or directory" error, this is ok, it may occur on your system, and is not a problem. If other errors occur, verify all the files are on your desktop, and if they are, contact me at pauljblohm@gmail.com.
6. Your backed up copy of your OLD AppleUSBAudio.kext and IOAudioFamily.kext extensions are put in a folder called OldExtensions, and the folder is placed on your desktop. If my fix does not work, and you wish to uninstall it, just put those backed up extensions on your desktop (instead of mine), and run the iSub.sh again. Then your old config will be restored.

Go ahead and restart. When you hear the startup chime, connect your iSub. Now log in, open iTunes, and let the bass fill your ears. Remember, if you want to disconnect your iSub, you must restart afterwards so your speakers can play music again. I'm trying to fix this, but it's rather difficult, hehe, so hang in there, hopefully a fix will be developed.

The first donation I got (by Chris C.) motivated me to create this Terminal installer, so if i get enough donations, who knows, maybe an application will soon arise. ; ) Also, thank you to Larry S. Without him, i probably wouldn't have created a 10.5.8 update.
