its in sys/lib/ext
or

awesome thanks.

its been a while though how would i do this through single user mode.

and would you know if there is a kext to replace it with. im going to be left without sound after

Here are some basic commands I find myself using time and again:

“sudo passwd root” : for enabling and creating a password for the root account (super user)

“/sbin/fsck -fy” : for making modifications to the files in your OS X drive. followed by:

“/sbin/mount -uw /“

“sudo rm -R </path-to-directory-to-be-deleted>” : for deleting directories and whole folders. Kexts, as I learned, are actually directories.

“sudo rm </path-to-file-to-be-deleted>” : for deleting single files.

“sudo cp </path-to-file-to-be-copied></path-to-destination-directotry-or-location/>” : for copying a file to a new directory or, in Mac parlance, location.

“sudo cp -R</path-to-directory-to-be-copied></path-to-destination-directotry-or-location/>” : for copying whole directories or folders to a new location. Again, this works for kexts.

“exit” : to go out of Terminal/command line mode and continue booting into GUI mode.

“reboot” : reboots computer.



so something lik this
boot single user
follow the lines:

sudo passwd root (then your password)

/sbin/fsck -fy

/sbin/mount -uw /

sudo rm -R /System/Library/Extensions/VoodooHDA.kext

or depending where it is

sudo rm -R /Extra/Extensions/Voodoo.kext

then all set

thank you worked out great. I've done it before but its been so long. didnt even need to replace the kext sound is working perfectly
