For the MSI wind owners, there has been a new kext based on the 0.2.2 but the microphone does work. For what was done and to download it, see this thread:

http://forums.msiwind.net/post98581.html#p98581

I would have thought these threads would have more action!

Does the 2.2 release work for anyone that has an HP Mini 1000? I tried it and got no audio. First release I had audio but no controls unless through PCM on pref pane, and no microphone.

Thanks,

Thireus, thanks! Your new version is working on a 1000HE (internal mic). I haven't yet tested the mic port.

Great smile.gif

You can test the mic port with your earphones, it's just working as a mic when you speak into the little speakers wink.gif

Actually it's mono, so only the left (or right, don't remember) of your mic will work (I don't know why the dev team missed that point :/)

Cool. Yes, mic port is working. rolleyes.gif

Thireus, you rock.

This version is it, I think. Tested all functions on 1000HE. All inputs and outputs working, including microphone in.

Better labels in the sound pref pane-thank you for that. Now it says Internal Microphone and External Microphone where before it just had generic "Mic" and you had to guess which was which. In the Output tab, it now says "Speaker/Headphones" and autoswitches when you plug in headphones in the jack.

Sound is very clean-both recorded and digital sound from Itunes. I played Itunes through the external speakers, plugged in headphones during the song and it picked it up no problem. Recorded myself in audacity using both external mic and internal.

FWIW, I just installed it using Kext Helper, without taking the old kext out of the Extensions folder. Please read the whole post if you are an EEE user doing this for the first time since you do have to delete appleazaliaaudio.kext and remove audiee from your login items for this to work.

Thank you about this detail, I have updated my post.

Is there a known issue with not being able to control the volume with the keyboard/System Prefs? I can adjust the PCM volume though the VoodooHDA Prefs, but that is the only way to do so. It is a minor inconvenience, as otherwise it works great!

thanks Voodoo team & Thireus


when I used 0.2.1 before

I turn off CD volume as 0

because even if I listen CD music, I thought I can play CD without CD volume

Is there a chance for a fix of the problem that sound is on full volume after wake from sleep? I'm working in an office and of course I always forget to set the volume lower, so everyone hears a loud sound coming from my EeePC every few hours...
Oh, and automatic switching from speakers to headphones doesn't work on the EeePC 900A.
zwaldowski
Hey, VoodooHDA works flawlessly on my ALC268!!! You're a saint!


... I just have thee problems. Hope they can be fixed, eventually.
- My microphone doesn't work.
- My speaker doesn't turn off when I plug in headphones, nor does it switch to the headphones automatically.
- After sleep, all sound is corrupted and staticky. It's easily reproducible... all I need to do is press up and down on my keyboard's buttons to get OS X to play the little "clack" sound.

EDIT: After sleep, when I plug in headphones and manually switch to it for output in System Preferences, sound is also corrupted over headphones.

EDIT: Version 0.22r96

You need tu unload and load the kext again.

voodooHDA does not have powerManagement yet, or at least it does not have it right.

i get sound with headphones plugged in using the latest voodooHDA but on speakers nothing comes out. also, when i am using the headphones, the sound is barely audible with volume turned all the way up. I am using a gateway laptop with a intel high definition audio device.

I got it working on a IDT 92HD202 6-channel High Definition Audio Codec on a ECS 945GCT-M/1333. No mic support here. I been playing audio for the past 4 hours. Not problems yet. Thanks Voodoo devs.

easy.....read the post at page 4. about #65. Do what it says in note 4, but use one of the precompiled kexts. and you are done.

Basically, delete the existing audio kexts and install this .2.2 kext with kext helper, and reboot.

Thank you - this worked out fantastically.

A few questions:

XCODE
Do I need to keep XCODE installed in order for this to continue working? I would like to free up the GB if I can

LOW VOLUME
The volume from the computer speaker is really low - even when it is turned up - when I plug the headphones in its crystal clear loud. I think I can fix it in the preference pane - but thats not working

PREFERENCE PANE
When I click the VOODOO HDA icon in the preference pane I get the following error:
ERROR Can't Map Memory.
When I try to move the sliders it gives the following error:
ERROR Can't connect to StructMethod to send commands

Thanks for getting back to me so quick on these - I really appreciate the help.

You cant increase the volume directly into the table.h source code, at the end of this file, then build your kext again (don't forget to delete the kext folder before doing this again). Check out my post here to see what I mean to increase the volume, or you can directly download my build.

That mean you didn't installed the provided kext given with the pref pane. Actually the voodoohda source code they give on their dev website is not the one compatible with the pref pane tool they provide. So don't try to use the pref pane. But you can if you want download the right kext here: http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php/topic,139.0.html (download the second file)... but for me my build is better.

hy. i'd like to give my info about 3 motherboard

Try mine, to see if that works better.

thank you - your new version fixed the sound level problem. still have a few questions/issues

PREFERENCE PANE
Im a little confused about what you are talking about with this. Sorry! Are you saying if I used your ktext file that the preference pane won't work? (I did use your file). As for the preference pane - I was about to install the included ktext in the preference pane folder - but it has the same file name as your audio ktext I installed to increase the volume - isn't this an issue?


APPLE VOLUME CONTROL
My volume slider in the top icon tray does not work. is it suppose to? if it is - how can I fix it?

The pref pane DOES NOT WORK with any kext. ONLY THE KEXT PROVIDED INTO THE SECOND ARCHIVE HERE: http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php/topic,139.0.html named "VoodooHDA-0.2.2_prefPane.tar.bz2" WORKS WITH IT

But if you install this one, you have to remove my kext and thus my volume modifications. And THIS PREF PANE IS NOT NEEDED IF YOU DO MY MODIFICATION, SO UNINSTALL IT (THE PREF PANE)!

Is it ok now to understand?

Maybe you've got another hda kext for example applehda.kext (I don't know) that you should delete...
But I don't know about this issue, you should contact the dev team.

In fact there is something weird with their version names.

My kext is just a modification of the version you can find using svn. And it's named 0.2.1 r8.

But! Don't know why, the real 0.2.2 you can find on this thread: http://redirectingat.com/?id=292X457&u...ic%2C139.0.html is constantly updated without new version names.

And there was a state when the svn version was the same as the 0.2.2. So I decided to name my own modification 0.2.2 r8.

But I agree this is not the provided version name.
ugokind
yes is here that i took that
then.. in the log.. if you put 1 kext or other kext (the zip with prefpane also contain a kext)
you see scrolling the syslog with 0.2.1 version!!

that's because of my 'expression' noexpression.gif

hi guys . is there any "how to" for modifying the voodoohda. i got conexant CX20561. and i get headphone and speakers and mute working with voodoohda version 2.2. and the internal mic is configured and working . but when i record it records screeching noise.

i already have a modified applehda.kext which gets me the speakers and headphone to work and they switch automatically. but mute don't work and mic works fine. i tried a lot but i couldn't get mute to work on applehda.

so now i'm trying voodoohda. and i need to learn about on wat to change to make speakers and headphone to switch automatically. and to correct the mic so it records voice correctly.

please any information is useful. thank you .

hello.

i have Conexant CX20561 (Hermosa) and with voodoohda ver 2.2 i'm getting speakers and headphone and mute working . internal mic is recognized and working but when recording it records screeching noise.

when i use the applehda which i edited the mic works great and headphone and speakers switch automatically , i only don't have mute.

so i want to use voodoohda. and i need someone to tell me which files to look at to change nodes . so i can make speakers and headphone switch automatically. and maybe i can get the mic record correctly. by changing some values.

i just need to know where to look at inside the source folder. thank you.

Hi all,

I need some help with get ALC888s/t working. I am on a ASUS IPIBL-LB mobo (Intel ICH9 chipset).

I have tried alc888 kext on this forum and nothing seems to work.
I have a codec dump from Linux (that works), but then after using HDAPatcher, there is still no sound.
The above two cases will not show the sound icon on the menu bar.

I have just tried the voodoo precompile 0.2.1 kext, and the 0.2.2 kext and the one provided by Viera. Still sound does not work. However, I get the sound icon on the menu bar. I tried all output method. None have sounds. Interestingly, the screen will flash if I click on the sound pref pane system sound file a couple of time.

I then tried the 0.2.2 with pref.pane kext. That one does work. I am able to get sound. However, the output is shown as unknown. But If I go to youTube and watch a video, after a while (time varies, but usually with2-3 mins), the sound will start degrading. I have to restart the computer, to get the sound level back.

Any idea? I have been trying to get this sound working for 2 days. but No luck so far.

Attach is the voodoo codec dump and my linux codec dump.

Please, any help is appreciated.. THanks =)

adamsweeting
Ah! - Just plugged my headphones into the front jack, and that is now working! (wasn't working with older release)

The sound coming out of the front jack seems to be a hell of a lot better than the output from the rear jacks.
I'm not complaining though... I was getting annoyed at the lack of bass on the rear jacks, so much so that last night I started to edit the Tables.c values to see if I could boost up the bass, which did work to an extent.

Bottom line is I can plug my Bose headphones in the front jack and get a perfect sound now. Good work Voodoo labs as this was the only avenue for the sound codec on my mainboard!
