We (thank you, Tom, for testing) have found a solution to the
remaining problem with silent Pro Speakers (2.5 mm jack). A patched

According to this:

You helped me do this with my PM G4 digital audio a while back (blacklisted

Hi,
I think I've finally found the reason for snd-powermac not being
loaded on many newer PowerMacs, PowerBooks, iMacs, iBooks etc. See my
comment in this bug report:

No amount of plugging or unplugging or manually typing M to any of the

To conclude, there are two remaining problems with snd-aoa:

Thank you, Rick,
The 'disagrees about version of symbol...'s are dmesg is probably not

I understand the business about blacklisting things and putting other
