8-channel HDA with vanilla 10.5.7/8 and 10.6 AppleHDA for ASUS P5K PRO (ALC883), no HDAEnabler but DSDT + LegacyHDAController/LegacyHDAPlatformDriver Options

[Master Chief]

Hi, I found this, (link), he seems to have all lines working in one output, without having the other shown... it seems so..

ahm, he said also he has no sound assertions at all..

maybe using his info.plist could bring some light on, or not

Hi again Jimmy,
Thank you for the link, that might help people, but some people (post: 88, 93, 98) are also seeing sound assertions. Still, the more people can find from this point on, the better it is.

[Master Chief]

I have 10.5.7
10.5.6 updated.
Vanilla Kernel

ASUS P5K PRO too.
I never had to patch anything.
I have all OUT and IN.

Just use ALCInject + AppleHDA
Ever since 10.5.1

I made it for you :

Hi g33,

I myself never used ALCInject, and the purpose of this mini-tutorial is to use LegacyHDA*.kext instead, but I'll have a look at it a.s.a.p. Thank you

ALC883 LegacyHDA for 10.5.7 (old ones doesnt work):
http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?zgt42n1j1mb

Gives you 3 analog outputs, mic, line in, spdif out. You need 10.5.7 stock AppleHDA.kext with these

[Jimmy Mallmann]

Hi, it does not work here... used hdaenabler, alcinject, none, prayed a lot and nothing... do you have any special configuration?

thanks!

Just in case I made a mistake uploading, try this ones:

 P5K_VM_ALC883_LegacyHDA_10.5.7.zip ( 10.55K ) Number of downloads: 43


Make sure you have the right AppleHDA.kext (version 1.6.8; unmodifyed from 10.5.7):

 AppleHDA.kext.zip ( 620.07K ) Number of downloads: 47


Flush the kextcache on boot (-f).
Im using these kexts form /Extra/Extensions.mkext with DSDT injection, but it works with the right version of HDAenabler:

 HDAEnabler.kext.zip ( 10.13K ) Number of downloads: 33


Also take in account we dont have the same motherboard, so the codecs may differ. But if the old legacy kexts by Stickpin were working for you these should work as well as they are based on stickpin's ones.

Even same codec on different motherboard could differ in some pin connections and outputs...
If we would really want to make a universal AppleHDA like Trauma suggested it should be tied to specific motherboards/systems (i.e. for identical/compatible codec dumps), not just codecs (not all ALC889 are the same).

[Jimmy Mallmann]

Hi, I think the problem is within the LegacyHDAController.kext, it gives me the " could no allocate AppleHDAController...." msg

Then, I mixed your pinconfigurations with the ones I had in an old plist I used with 10.5.6... and with some info from this post, now it works here with vanilla here

It would be nice to have the 3 lineouts working but only one integrated showing, Any ideas? I´m still searching...

Thanks!

I don't understand what you want to do

[Jimmy Mallmann]

I mean, only one line out showing in audio preferences, but all of them working, as in voodoohda kext, I tried here but I skip center... so, with no luck for me

Have you checked "Jack Grouping – for System Profiler" which explains (or at least should) how that can be changed.

And with "the right version" I presume you mean one with com.apple.kernel.iokit set to 7.9.9 instead of 6.9.9 in previous versions – I think that MacGirl wrote that somewhere.

[Jimmy Mallmann]

Yes, I did... Probably I messed up somewhere else..

Master Chief, may you post the .plist you are using?

Thanks

Is there a similar solution for ALC882. I have a p5W-DH motherboard that requires 882.
After doing the software update to 10.5.7 i had to remove the AppleHDA.kext in order to get rid of the kernel panic at startup.
Did the software update not get the new AppleHDA for 10.5.7 ?
And can i use the one attached in this thread ?

No, but I am currently enjoying a nice long summer holiday.

Haha, good then, enjoy your holiday!

No, but I am currently enjoying a nice long summer holiday.

WORK IN PROGRESS – Last update: 28 June 2009 - 23:55 (currently enjoying a nice summer holiday)

Introduction
I started to write this tutorial, not as tutorial, but as "steps to reproduce" for something I ran into, shortly after I wrote: "Pinconfig for Linux users" (here). It was something that I myself could not explain/pinpoint... and nobody was either able or willing to solve this mystery for me. That's when I started to make notes, but it was months later (June 17th) when I decided to make something useful out of it – in the hope that my info will be helpful somehow.
....

HI CHIEF. We share the same audio card and I got it fully working with the HDAENABLER.KEXT and no sound assertion occurs. But I have problem with the DSDT patch. Tried ur way but failed. Pls have a loook of my DSDT and see if it work out within ur ability. Many thanx. I have included my PinConfigrations using IOREG on 10.5.8. And my codecid is not available and device type in IOREG the same as urs. B.T.W I don`t got the DEVICE (DPGT) entry and I injected it after the entry as u said but it seems not working for me. Fassl told me to Change:

CODE

External (PDC1)
External (PDC0)
External (CFGD)
External (^CPU0._PPC)
External (\_PR_.CPU0._PPC)
To:
External (PDC1)
External (PDC0)
External (CFGD)
//    External (^CPU0._PPC)
External (\_PR_.CPU0._PPC)

Or remove the line that starts with //

And Change:
If (GPIC)
                {
                    Return (Package (0x00) {})
                }

To:
If (GPIC)
                {
                    Return (Package (0x01

) { 0x00 })
}
And it can be compiled but not working though. The CPU frequency seems higher than usual. And no sound info of course. Hope u can figure a way out. I tried my best and lost direction. If u need my codec dump. You can find here.CODEC DUMP ALC883

I see that you have your own topic about this specific problem already, and thus I will reply there... that is if I can find the time for it. However I first need to finish this guide. I'll advise you to ask other people for help, or be very very patient with me. Sorry, but that's the way things are right now.

[Slither2008]

Hi Master Chief,

Firstly thankyou enormously for your guides. It's helped me greatly! I have a GA-965P-S3 and have followed your verbs/pinconfigs guide. I have a comprehensive listing of details about my ALC883 chip now.

I'm currently trying to configure a LegacyHDA for Snow Leopard. Pathmaps and Layout ID's are the hurdles I'm currently jumping. I'd be happy to share my findings on this thread.

Enjoy your holiday...i'm due for one too I think

Regards,

Slither2008.

[Edit] Was having a look at the sound assertion error you posted on this guide.

Jun 17 11:48:46 Chief kernel[0]: Sound assertion "0 != widget->setUnsolicited ( true )" failed in "/SourceCache/AppleHDA/AppleHDA-168.1.3/AppleHDA/AppleHDACodecGeneric.cpp" at line 855 goto handler

In English this reads to me that the AppleHDA code writes a sound assertion failure to log when it fails to set the Pin Widget as Unsolicited. On success it returns 0 for true and anything other than that is considered as a failure (as defined in the AppleHDA code I'm assuming).

I'm not an expert but this is what I gathered from reading some of the Intel HDA specko. On p145 It mentions the GPIO Unsolicited Enable Mask. I'm taking a stab in the dark here but my guess is that the method setUnsolicted(boolean) was called when the controller was initialising a particular Stream. It's purpose is to read in the MuteGPIO set in the plist and enable the GPIO register as an Unsolicited. It possibly enables the ability to mute the Pin Complex widget through the AppleHDA driver????.

The GPIO (General Input Output Widget) was in a reset state (i.e. value = 0 or 0000h) due to the cold reset. The bitmask provided in the plist was invalid thus the GPIO Enable Mask register returned 0 to show that it had not been woken/enabled and the AppleHDA handled the error through the assertion?

Maybe I'm covering old ground...

[Edit 2] I should have continued reading...7.3.3.14 confirmed my theory more or less...lolol

[Slither2008]

Here's what I'm rolling with (link). BlackCH made this copy which has no sound assertions and a decent support of In's & Out's.

Good Job�Master Chief�

PS：Do you have the dsdt +legacyHDA for alc272？
