ALC88x 10.4.8 Kext, Drivers for ALC88x Audio on 8.8.1 kernel Options

ALC889A 2ch out solution can be found here
Good luck, i've yet to try it, but hopefully soon... waiting on Gigabyte P35-DS4 to arrive.

I think the solution simply uses the AppleAzaliaAudio.kext from the first page with modified device ID for the ALC889A sound chip

Sorry I've been gone so long! I added a beta kext for ALC889 at the beginning of this thread, please post your results...

My
Realtek ALC861 @ Intel 82801GBM ICH7-M - High Definition Audio Controller work only out internal speaker...any news for mic in and out speaker?

I have a Asus R1F

Hi skippyretard, the ACL889Abeta installer doesn't work 4 me on gigabyte p35-ds4. Otherwise, the kext in THIS post works nice (no input line, but 2ch output)

greetings!bye

I'm having exactly the same experience on my Gigabyte P35C-DS3R - can get two channel out using above link, but with skippyretard's beta no output devices appear in the sound section of system preferences.

My board has 6 jacks though, not 3. Could that have anything to do with it?

Edit: Ignore me - just read the comment at the start of the thread about requiring kernel 8.8.1 - I've already updated to 8.10.1, which is no doubt where my problems lie.

I've got the same problem with ALC889A
My mobo is gigabyte p35.
hope to have a new beta soon!
Greetings!

Hi guyz, I have conextent AMC audio, will these patches/drivers work with these?

Thanx,

Now works with my Gigabyte GA-965P-S3

thnx

A question , it is possible to ... use volume control in the same time with the agregate device ? because for me .. it is not working ! as long as i use agregate device, no luck ...

[kossi]

ALC889Beta package doesn't work for me, too. I tried to build my own driver with Tarugas AppleHDA patcher and a working linux codec dumb plus a with my device and vendor id modified ALCinject.kext which didn't work also.

I'm running 10.4.10 with kernel version 8.10.1 and my mobo is a gigabyte ga-p35-s3 with a ALC 889A chipset.

CODE

kossis-computer:~ kossi$ sudo dmesg | grep ALC
ALCinject: Starting.
ALCinject: Setting layout-id=<data not shown>
ALCinject: Setting PinConfigurations=<data not shown>

That's all he tells me during boot up. AppleHDA doesn't load.

@skippyretard

If you need some more info, let me know.

kossi, can you post your codec dump? Thx

tokra, I've never been able to use the volume control with aggregate device. I'm not sure why...

[3phemeral]

...can you post your codec dump? Thx

As you can tell, the ALC889A chip gets recognized as ALC885 [under Ubuntu 7.04, that is]. I tried dragging this onto your 1.16 patcher but it wouldn't even accept it. Your beta installer didn't work for me either, 10.4.8/8.8.1 and 10.4.10/8.10.1, dmesg gave me exactly the same as it did for kossi.
See attached file for GA-P35-DS4, ALC889A codec dump.
If you need anything else, just let me know

I added my codec dump, the output of tarugas AppleHDAPatcher V1.16 and the created AppleHDA.kext as an attachment.

So I got my alc889a chipset working. I only tested the digital output which provides ac3 pass through in vlc without any problems.

Would be nice, if someone could test some other features like line in etc.

If everything works fine, feel free to build an installer package. Until then install the kexts the ordinary way.

After having trouble uploading the compressed file as an attachment I decided to upload it somewhere else.

Hi Skippy,

Is there the possibility that ALC861 ICH7 on Asus F3Jc support can be added to the azalia driver?

There are lots of people that would greatly appreciate that. (I'm one of them!)

thanks 4 share!, but what do you get? 2ch out? do u get line in?

The answer's right there, hehe ^^
I'll try your kext in a bit, see what it gives... I'll be trying input and 2ch out, cause that's all i've got at the moment
kossi, what did you do to get it working? Change some stuff in the output of the AppleHDApatcher, say dev.id?

Hey,
Thanks a lot for this! Only tested 2ch out + mic in but both are working fine, and the other ports seem to be recognized by OS X, so i have a feeling it's fully functional now
How did you get it to work? I noticed you added the device and vendor id's in ALCInject.kext and the AppleHDAController.kext in the AppleHDA.kext plugin folder, but i'd tried simply adding these before and it hadn't worked for me.
Anyways, fully functional sound, great success!

[kossi]

I indeed only added the vendor and device id in these two files

Did you build your own kexts with tarugas patcher? So maybe our codec dumps were different.

Nope, i used the kexts from the Beta package, IIRC. Taruga's patcher didn't work for me, it wouldn't accept my dumps, as in nothing happened when i dragged the dumps onto the patcher, so i couldn't build my own kexts :/ All's well anyways
If anyone could provide me some info on how to make packages I wouldn't mind making one for ALC889A, but i wouldn't be able to make onebefore next week...
