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

[Eddie Turfboer]

For 10.5.6 and forward mine stoped working as well. Try the VoodooHDA instead.

Hi there...

I tried installing the driver you provided for the alc883 on my iDened 10.5.7 it does not work, either the 3 ports/digital, 6ports/digita. please help....

I am using a Asus P5K mobo with ALC 883 sound card on board and running on iDened 10.5.7...and using Vanilla kernel on it....

Thanks in advance...

I'm having 10.5.8 installed on a Intel DG35EC, but the above ALC888 driver doesn't work. No sound output, although it detects the sound device(line-in, line-out & microphone), but no sound comes out.
I'm using the Azalia driver for now, but it has its own limitations, only line-out works and doesn't detect line-in or microphone.

It'll be cool, if I could get the sound working properly detecting inputs also. Any help??

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...

God! Would you please?!? I am trying my best to get my p45-ud3p up and going. i used to use efix, so while i was not NEW to the hackinthosh scene, all this kext manipulation was done by Art Media (efi-x makers). They were really lousy at providing timely firmware updates, and then my dongle died. i have a real taste for this os x on a pc thing, but am new to this more in-depth hackintosh scene.

so far I can boot with graphics (using my 9800 gtx+), and everything seems to work (haven't tested time machine), but I have no luck with sound.

I have a few questions for you folks, if you don't mind:

1. does the front panel audio have to be plugged in (and if so, in what mode), or will getting the onboard sound be like with efi-x where it came only out of the back of the machine?

2. i am reading now and then about rebuilding extensions.mkext - can anybody share how to do this with me?

3. does the boot.plist (i know that i havent't called it the right thing here) on the usb stick that I made with chameleon on it override the one on the boot hd?

4. i suspect that i will have some sleep, shut down, wake up and restart issues. any insight into this?

5. right now I have the usb stick, a dvd-rom, and one 500 gb drive installed. I have 4 other sata drives (3 x 750gb, 1 x 1tb) waiting to be hooked up. is this a no-brainer, or do i have to somehow prepare my system for it?

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

But, man... would I like working sound.


Thanks,

1. does the front panel audio have to be plugged in (and if so, in what mode), or will getting the onboard sound be like with efi-x where it came only out of the back of the machine?

Is does not have to be pluged in. On my mobo, both front and back panel audio works. It does depend on the hardware.

2. i am reading now and then about rebuilding extensions.mkext - can anybody share how to do this with me?

chmod -R 644 /Volumes/MacLoader/mine/Extensions
chown -R root:wheel /Volumes/MacLoader/mine/Extensions
kextcache -a i386 -m /Volumes/MacLoader/Extra/Extensions.mkext /Volumes/MacLoader/mine/Extensions
chmod 644 /Volumes/MacLoader/Extra/Extensions.mkext
chown root:wheel /Volumes/MacLoader/Extra/Extensions.mkext

3. does the boot.plist (i know that i havent't called it the right thing here) on the usb stick that I made with chameleon on it override the one on the boot hd?

If it exists it is loaded instead of the one on the Leopard partition

4. i suspect that i will have some sleep, shut down, wake up and restart issues. any insight into this?

Depends on the hardware. Mine did not need any kext fix, though I had to change a parameter in my BIOS to S3 (something in the power management or the like).

5. right now I have the usb stick, a dvd-rom, and one 500 gb drive installed. I have 4 other sata drives (3 x 750gb, 1 x 1tb) waiting to be hooked up. is this a no-brainer, or do i have to somehow prepare my system for it?

It all depends on the setup, though chameleon list all available boot partitions, so you should be good to go. See documentation for default selecting one.

when i click on "Configure Speakers", then "Multichannel" i can't select "5.1 Surround". there's only "stereo". I'm running 10.5.8. Realtek ALC883. How to get my 5.1 work? help, please

Thanks! I've successfully follow this guide and solved all my problems.

I've used the ALC888.mpkg Installed, Restart and Viola! I've got sound on my MSI K9A2 CF.

Hello!

I have an Asus P5L 1394 mobo with ALC883 integrated sound card.

In Windows When I activate 5.1 sound the Line In blue is turned into Left and Right Rear, the Mic Pink is Turned in to Center/Subwoofer, all in back panel.

My Codec Dump from a live Linux CD is here:  CodecDump.txt ( 10.56K ) Number of downloads: 8

I think My Codec Verbs should be:  CodecVerbs.txt ( 431bytes ) Number of downloads: 7


I have tried many many files from the net, patched many many times AppleHDA.kext and tried it with different HDAEnablers but no way I can't get 5.1 sound to work only stereo

Can you help me to make a driver for Mac OSX86 10.5.8?



P.S. I have already tried VoodooHDA but I can get only two channels with it.

Hi Everybody,

I have an abit IP35-e mobo and the following screenshot shows my sound chipset. What should I install to work properly. Right now i am using voodoo 0.2.2 with pref pane and while i am playing movies in browser the sound is making a strange noise. So I think I havent installed the right kext.

If needed i can record the sound noise and post it here attached.

Help is very much appreciated.

Thank you,
reef

The first Info.plist still might need to be edited to change 0880 to your particular number and remove ApplHDA.kext from Extensions folder (and of course, delete the Extensions.*kext* files).

where/how can I find the Info.plist and the extension folder?
