Fails install on Intel Mac Pro, SL 10.6.2 #62

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Attempt install
2. Read message
3.

What is the expected output? 

A running program.

What do you see instead?

NO program.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Soundflower 1.5.1

Intel Mac Pro. Snow Leopard 10.6.2

Please provide any additional information below.

"The system extension, "/System/Library/Extensions/ATTOExpressRAID.kext"
was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or
contact the prooduct's vendor for an update."

The same for:

ATTORAID_OS10.kext

It's a little humorous that right after the error messages, Soundflower
proudly announces it successfully installed.

Yes, I have this exactly the same. Are there any solutions yet?

Have had this problem since upgrading to Snow Leopard about a month ago. No 
solution
yet that I can find. Is anyone still working on Soundflower?

I'm having the same issue, I have Snow Leopard 10.6.2 and I'm unable to install 
the
problem. After it tries to install the program, the message reads, Application 
Failed
to install. :(

Maybe their just not seeing enough complaints yet. Keep 'em coming! It sure 
looks
like the tip of a widespread issue here to me. I'm running the core 2 duo too 
by the
way...

I am also having this problem with Snow Leopard.  A few weeks ago I purchased 
some third party software unaware that it used soundflower's extensions.  This 
normally would not be an issue to me, but when I uninstalled their software, it 
also uninstalled the kernel extensions for soundflower.  Since then I have 
tried install some other software that ironically also uses soundflower's 
extensions.  Whenever I try to install these programs they come up with 7 
different .kext files that did not install properly and need to be reinstalled. 
 So I did what most would do and contacted the authors of the software and they 
told me that was impossible for their software to cause these issues.  I am not 
sure exactly what the problem is and I would sure appreciate any help anyone 
has to offer.
Thanks

@davechiddics: Your problem sound more as if the uninstalling of other software 
has removed the kext files (?)

Our problem has been that since upgrading to Snow Leopard (without removing any 
software) seems to have broken Soundflower's links to the files.

When you say you've contacted the authors, are you talking about the authors of 
the other software, or the authors of Soundflower?

Obviously there IS an issue here, that isn't being addressed. Having been so 
long since reporting this issue, and there is still no solution, what's the 
point of keeping Soundflower anymore? 

It was nice to be able to use it for the few months I could, but now it's just 
a dead set of files on my hard drive, so "Good bye Soundflower!"

I understand the app is free, but even free ain't worth it if the authors 
aren't paying attention to their bug reports. Seven comments in two and a half 
months and not one reply from from the author is not very confidence building.

Is the project fizzling out? It sure looks that way.

Update:

Just for kicks. Try this:

Go to Applications:Soundflower:UninstallSoundflower.app and launch it. Restart. 
Download latest Soundflower (Version 1.4.3). Install it. You will get many of 
the same error messages during the install. Ignore and dismiss them. Restart.

I just did this, and Soundflower now appears to be working just as before, with 
no errors. 

Note: If opening Soundflower isn't working from the Applications folder icon, 
it's PROBABLY ALREADY RUNNING. 

Check your menu bar for the Soundflower icon there. If you see it, it's already 
running. Use that icon to open the control panes.

Hope this helps.

P.S. I am now running OSX 10.6.3

Wait a minute. 1.4.3 is apparently NOT the latest version (?). I got the file 
from http://mac-free.com/download/Soundflower.html

It says version 1.5.1 at the top of the page, but there's a link about halfway 
down the page "For Mac OSX 10.4 10.5 Download v1.4.3" 

Which doesn't make a hell of a lot of sense, because I am running OSX 10.6.3, 
but whatever. 

It appears to be working. I haven't actually tried to do much with it yet, but 
all devices are showing up in it properly now, and there are no more annoying 
"kext" errors.
