Analog devices SoundMax AD1981HD on HP notebooks, not supported? is the output port configuration different than IBM? Options

[ssimon]

Hi,

I've got a Thinkpad X60. AD1981HD chipset. I followed instructions to dump codec from a Linux Live session, and managed to get HDAPatcher v1.13 to do it's stuff. Did some touch up on the Info.plist in AppleHDAController.kext as formatting was a bit messed up, nano seemed to sort it, also added in 0x11d41981 to the IOPCIPrimaryMatch section. Removed cached Extension.* flies and rebooted. I now have the following ioreg. What I'd like to know is does the !registered, !matched for IOHDACodecDriver mean that this has not loaded properly and therefore if we can fix this then we're a step closer to having Sound working? Appreciate anyones thoughts.

Nice tomparis, you are closer than I got and I have high hopes that if you find a fit it will work for me as well. If you have a sec could you boot into XP or Vista and let me know if your X60 AD1981HD chipset is identical to mine from mt T60p (2623-D8U)? I posted the exact valued from device manager 4 posts above HERE

It is killing me not to be able to go to 802.11n and take advantage of my new wireless card, due to this maddening failure of Azalia Audio!

I have high hopes that the AppleHDA fix will be more resilient to the 802.11n plugin and allow both to work...

Please be so kind to post and let me know if you're running the same exact audio chipset.

I seem unable to get the AD1981HD audio dump in Linux.

I booted my ThinkPad T60p laptop to Ubuntu 7.04 Live CD and it recognized everything, including the audio with both Analog & digital options + microphone.

However when I issue the commands

CODE

cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#0 >> dump.txt

all I get is a new line and a blinking cursor, no file gets created and it just sits there.

All the "files" in /proc/asound show as size "0"!

What am I doing wrong?

UPDATE: Nevermind, I got the dump file! See attached, and my post HERE

@ssimon : your sound works with applehda?

also could someone with a working AD1981HD post their ConfigData of AppleHDAController ?
that can be found with IORegistryExplorer under IOService or to search for C0E0, or with ioreg -l command
thank you

Unfortunately, NO! I had it working with AppleAzalia, but then when I installed the Plug-in for 802.11n audio broke and dissapeared. See my report HERE

802.11n Wireless works great now @ 150MB, but no more audio. I am therefore trying the AppleHDA approach now.... but without much success.

My last post on the matter is HERE

If anyone can get their ThinkPad T60/X60/R60 to work with AppleHDA, PLEASE let me know!!!

tomparis hi
Can you pls share where you get the instructions for codec dump for the forum. My setup is identical to yours (assuming all ThinkPad X60 laptops are created the same)
thx

Hi GAL,

Apologies for taking so long to reply. Been away. As mentioned by probono that's the instructions I followed. However, i used SUSE 10.2 Live CD and had to make sure I configured the Sound Card first, with I think the "Prompt_CMD" parameter set to 1. Once that was done the cat /proc/asound...etc... would first time. Before that it just hung.

Hope that helps.

Hello, if there is someone with a working 1981HD sound configuration pls help this gui: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...973&hl=1981
Thank you!

I keep reading posts from people saying that they want their HP AD1981HD to work like the IBM, but for the life of me I cannot find a solution to patch AppleHDA.kext to work on a ThinkPad T60/X60/R60

Has anyone gotten it to work? (not by using the AppleAzalia patch tho!)

[theycallhimpeter]

Another one joins the party...

There are a lot of users around here who have this problem and none really got the card going yet? Hopefully someone can make it work!!!

[JammerML]

At this point I'd take the azalia patch working.

[theycallhimpeter]

Can you give a link to the solution or give some details how you got it working?

[ssimon]

Here is my own compiled tutorial of the Apple Azalia 2 channel audio out only fix.

I take no credit, I just compiled this from multiple sources. Good luck!

----------

T60p and X60 Audio Fix:
Searched Google for: AppleAzaliaAudio.kext AD198

Got: http://forum.osx86project.org/lofiversion/....php/t2001.html
and http://forum.osx86project.org/lofiversion/...php/t18642.html

(BACKUP 1st anything you delete!)

1. Delete AppleHDA.kext & Cleanup a bit:
In Terminal, type:
sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext
sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext
sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions.mkext
sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions.kext

2) Edit AppleAzaliaAudio.kext:
In Terminal, type: sudo pico /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAzaliaAudio.kext/Contents/Info.plist
Search for (use hotkey= ctrl + w): <key>IOHDAudioCodecVendorID</key>
change the string to: <string>0x10ec0882</string>
Exit pico
sudo pico /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAzaliaAudio.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleAzaliaController.kext/Contents/Info.plist
Search for (use hotkey= ctrl + w):
<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>
change the string to:
<string>0x27d88086</string>
Exit pico

3) Clean up the system:
In Terminal, type:

sudo diskutil repairpermissions /
sudo chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAzaliaAudio.kext
sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAzaliaAudio.kext
cd /System/Library
sudo rm -rf Extensions.mkext
sudo rm -rf Extensions.kextcache

chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions
rm /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache
kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions
sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAzaliaAudio.kext

4) Then, reboot and enjoy sound out of two channels.

Hi ssimon,
this fix is only for T60p and X60?
Hi have a Hp NX7300 with AD 1981 HD card and i have no output with AzaliaAudio.
I'we try your tutorial but is the same.
Can you help me, please?

[maslokm]

I have HP nx7400 and the same problem... Mute always on.

[therpham]

I have an HP nw8440 and can get Azalia to load to the point where I have volume control, but I have the same mute button problem as everyone else.

Really, nobody has found a solution for this? That's a little depressing.

[Wojt-AS]

Hi Everyone!

I`ve a big problem... I`ve bought from my friend new notebook HP NX7300... I reinstaled OS WIndows XP PRofesional with SP2 and haven`t any drivers now.... Im without sound drivers, network drivers, modem drivers, display... Nothing when I tray to download drivers from @#@#@# HP site... the drivers doesn`t work... whats wrong please tell me.

[sonic1978]

hp nx6310 Mute always on too

[keydet]

some thoughts about mute led on HP...


in windows, there is a HPQ buttons device (smth like this), and this device needs a driver! maybe it manages with volume control? maybe we need this driver in macos?


ive got HP nx7300

in device manager, does the HPQ buttons device have a vendor/device ID?
