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

[skippyretard]

Treso: I agree with homer007, the original kernel did not autodetect the FSB of the CPU and caused timing issues. Please try the latest kernel on IRC and let us know if it solved your problem.

looper: The HD Audio uses a controller and a codec, the controller is built-in to the southbridge. If I get some time I may try to fix the azalia kext, but my priority is the AppleHDA.kext for now.

eyemac: did you edit Taruga's kext? or did it work as is? also, do they both provide output AND input?

[aberracus]

Skippy FYI, i have tried your installer and i now have line in line out an d mic all working, but to make it working i had to install alc883 ich7 with 3 channels + digital

i do not have a digital ot port but its supported in an addtional bracket....


BTW i have tried with the agregate using Line out + line in + mic but no 5.1 im doing something wrong?

Apple HDA sound MUCH BETTER than Azalia

Thanks!

Skippy..
I tried to edit Taruga's kext (ALC882) by changing the vender and device ID's according to previous instructions to do so on this forum (and the same vender id code additions that got my 10.4.5 AppleHDA kext working. . However, with that mod, I got nothing at all.. ie the kext did not load and there was no line in or out. I did not have the Azalia kext in the extensions folder with the AppleHDA kext as I had found the in order to get AppleHDA.kext working (10.4.5 native moded for ALC880), Azalia kext had to be removed. THAT mod, DID work, and provided Line In and Line out. I am using it currently. However, it did NOT provide SPDIF even though my MB supports both SPDIF In and Out. I thought I might be able to get SPDIF working using the udated kext (Taruga), but was unsuccessful. Have you had any success using YOUR ALC883 kext with ALC880 with SPDIF as well? If a mod was needed can you explain what you did to get ALC880 working with your ALC883?

eyemac: I understand now, I am a little slow today. If you attach the kext that works for you, I will try to get the SPDIF working.

skippy,

the 3 port 883 patch works for my acer 5672 laptop using ich7m. The internal mic is detected and i have no way to test the line in or external mic. this is the good news.

bad news is the headphone jack still doesn't work and the sound randomly drops out on me for no apparent reason and refuses to work untill i reboot; just like it did when i was using an edited appleazalia.

unless other people are reporting these sorts of problems as well i'm convinced this is merely my laptop being a buggy p.o.s. and not an error in your wonderfull hack.

cheers and happy holidays.

m8 didnt u read my post before just upgrade to the latest kernel and ur sound will be fixed.

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR THIS, I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET MY AUDIO INPUT WORKING FOR EVER AND THIS FINALLY DID THE TRICK!!

[jsl]

My audio problems are solved now.
1. Remove -x (safe boot) from my com.apple.Boot.plist
2. Using AppleHDA.kext (1.1.0a17) and remove AppleAzaliaAudio.kext
3. Set correct parameters: 0x10ec0880 0x27d88086 in AppleHDA.kext
4. verify it by kextload -t
5. After reboot I can use Mic In and Stereo Out from my ALC880 in laptop Asus A6JC

Another incomplete solution:
1. Remove -x (safe boot) from my com.apple.Boot.plist
2. Using AppleAzaliaAudio.kext(1.0.0d0) and remove AppleHDA.kext
3. Set correct parameters: 0x10ec0880 0x27d88086 in AppleAzaliaAudio.kext
4. verify it by kextload -t
5. After reboot I can get Stereo Out without Mic In from my ALC880 in laptop Asus A6JC

My solution is different from others and I think it's due to my Hac OS is 10.4.6/8.4.1 instead of 10.4.8/8.8.1

jsl: can you post the applehda.kext that is working for you? I would like to take a look at it.

Hi, can anyone please help me i'm a newbie and don't know what i'm doing wrong
i have realtek HD Audio 8 Channels with spdif
Details: HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0883
and i guess it's on ICH7
I've tried to install ALC883Audio.pkg with any possible option, but still don't have sound although i see available inputs and outputs in preferences
Does anyone know could be the problem?
and also what option exactly i have to choose if i have a laptop with built in speakers, mic-in, line-in and headphones-out?
Thanx in advance

[VN Man]

It works for me too!! 5.1 channel for my hackintosh!!

Thanks, Skippy, I guess I owe you a big one

One very small caveat: Apple keyboard's volume control doesn't work anymore.
Is this normal?

How do you get it to work?

Which option did you choose (I guess it is 3 ports).

Does it have to have all jacks connected?

I tried 3 ports option and got nothing - no input, no output...Also tried 6 ports, no go there either..

First, I chose 6 ports + digital output option and got nothing.
So I chose 6 ports option without the digital output and made sure
every channel working alright and then, just followed Skippy's instructions

Some laptops will not work properly "yet". I am still working on the problem. Have you tried the headphone port for sound?

yep, still, no sound
I've noticed a strange thing, built-in speakers appear as input and not output

Nope, still no go. I tried 3 ports, then 6ports, then 6 ports + digital....nothing. I mean From "System Profiles" I can see that HDA and HDAController are loaded. but no input or output....

Anyway, I tried to fix natit and now my system not loaded up anymore, seems that ATIRadeonxxx.kext gone from the system but then this is another subject/topic....

[Juurlo]

Reporting success with 2 channel stereo out, no inputs using azalia installer. ICH7 + 888.

Failure with AppleHDA - shows all devices and voume controls, but no sound from any jack (6 channels, no spdif).

[eyemac]

Skippy,

I am sorry but I do not know the procedure for either 'attaching' the kext or 'posting' it. Can you please advise me as to how to do it? Thanks,
Steve

Your board uses ALC882, my packages are for ALC883 and ALC888. You need Taruga's kext.



eyemac: when you addreply select add atachment at the bottom.

Yeah, I know that. BUT Ezhoon has got his to work on his Asus P5-LD2. Or I am wrong about that ...
