I have Xcode 3.1.2 installed (default components), but if I run "sudo helper.sh" I get "command not found". I can open the VoodooHDA project file though Build and Go is disabled.

Everyone, if you have an issue, first you NEED to tell the developers of VoodooHDA by going to the VoodooHDA issues forum on google Code site. As well, Don't address problems that are already addressed on that forum. Then after you have gone on Google Code, you should tell people about your problem on the VoodooHDA issues forum on the Chameleon site. Afterwards, you can tell your problems to the neophytes on this thead.

Remember in order of sites to tell your problems, first Google Code site, then Chameleon site, then here.

Now that you all know that little tidbit, lets hear the silly post of the day.

Result for ALC662 using pre-compiled kext:

Sound out working. Sound in thru front panel not working. When I speak in the microphone, I hear myself in the speakers. I fixed it by muting all input options in the output section (sys pref).
System profiler doesn't show any info.

In system preferences > sound, I have:

Output: (why do I have input here - have to mute them to avoid hearing myself thru speakers)
Master
PCM
Line in
Microphone
Input mix
Recording level
Output gain
Recording Level
Digital

Input: (none work)
Line in
Microphone
Input mix
Microphone 2

Very Strange. With a few tweaks, this will be the best Audio driver for osX86. Will it make any difference if I compile the kext myself?

This driver solves out my last problem with ALC883 of my ACER5583. The first time audio performs excerllent. Then I did restore fresh DMG to my laptop and install VoodooHDA. Something strange happened. Speaker works well after bootup. Headphone shows nothing. After laptop wakes u after going into sleep mode. Both of them work fine! Is there anybody has the same problem? Any solution?

In the "voodoohda-read-only" folder, there will now be a "build" folder containing a "Debug" and "VoodooHDA.build" folder.......inside the"Debug" folder is the compiled VoodooHDA.kext.....

4. In Terminal, rename AppleHDA......and AppleAzaliaAudio.kext too if present.....

CODE

cd /System/Library/Extensions/
sudo mv AppleHDA.kext AppleHDA.kext.back
exit

5. Use Kext Helper b7 to install the now compiled VoodooHDA.kext OR my already compiled VoodooHDA.kext....

6. Reboot with -v -f......You should hopefully hear an audio "crackle" during booting......

UPDATE: Download VoodooHDA v0.2.2......

VoodooHDA is an open source audio driver for devices compliant with the Intel High Definition Audio (HDA) specification, based primarily on code from the FreeBSD hdac driver. It is intended as an Intel-only replacement for AppleHDA on Mac OS X with support for a wide range of audio controllers and codecs.

http://voodoohda.googlecode.com/

feedback, download & discussion:
http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php#5

My apologies to those who have been waiting for these sources to get released, but real life has been busy lately and unfortunately I haven't had nor will I have much time to devote to this project. I am releasing the source code for VoodooHDA, which I have been using for the past few months with no major problems or stability issues. There is, however, no official binary release at this time due to my inability to maintain and support such a release.

If there are any developers out there interested in joining or adopting this project, please email me (this username at gmail) and I will add you as a member to the Google Code project. For the time being, if you are interested in testing the driver you must check out and compile it yourself - for instructions go to the project site listed above and click on the "Source" tab. Be sure to read through Readme.txt for an overview of the state of the driver.

Thank you! I now have a working ALC663 that previously had no hope!!

Working ok on Advent 4211 retail.

Internal mic not usable only able to get static noise. Switching of headphones works, external mic works fine (needs some fair tweaking of settings though). Have recorded to Audacity with acceptable quality output, ichat works ok too.

Current settings:

OUTPUT:

Master 25%, PCM 100%, Speaker 100%, Mic 25%, Input mix 25%, Recording Level 80%, Mic 2 0%

INPUT:

Speaker 100%, Mic 50%, Input mix 50%, Mic 2 0%.

The only real pain is setting reset themselves after shutdown restart.

Great leap forward though, thanks to the Voodoo Dev's

Hi Verdant,

thanks so much. I did without any problem until the step 4. I think I could not understand it. should I copy the VoodooHDA.kext file into the extension folder? I wrote these lines :

[code]cd /System/Library/Extensions/
sudo mv AppleHDA.kext AppleHDA.kext.back

but it says:

mehmedim-cans-u-100:voodoohda-read-only mehmedimcan$ cd /System/Library/Extensions/
mehmedim-cans-u-100:Extensions mehmedimcan$ sudo mv AppleHDA.kext AppleHDA.kext.back
mv: rename AppleHDA.kext to AppleHDA.kext.back/AppleHDA.kext: No such file or directory

what should I do?

thanks in advance

Since VoodooHDA is replacing AppleHDA, you need to stop AppleHDA.kext being loaded but in order to do so without deleting it, you rename it to AppleHDA.kext.back......but in your case it was not present anyhow.....hence the message you saw........so just proceed to Step 5. (assuming you have no other audio kext installed, e.g. AppleAzaliaAudio.kext etc....) which will install VoodooHDA in /S/L/E....

Rear Mic: NOT working
Rear Line-in: NOT working
Rear Line-out: Working Well

Front Headphone: Speakers OK / Mic not working.

in attached the codec#0
is alc888/s/t with front stereo, rear stereo, subwoofer output and jack HP
as input there are a frontal mic stereo, a mic in jack
and a line in jack, spdif out and hdmi

with your last release I have frontal speaker ok, HP ok with auto switching, mic ext ok but no mic frontal internal.

with your 3 release (with a lot of entry in the mixer)
i saw that pcm0 - mixer 0 I can manage mic ext. and if i raise mixer 1 i hear a big noise.. but mic 1 doesn't match with internal mic

This is the 0.2.2 modified version for my eeePC 1000H should work too on other eeePCs:

--> http://thireus.dareyourmind.net/VoodooHDA_By_Thireus.zip EDIT: Check this thread: http://ipis-osx.wikidot.com/forum/t-152367...udio-in-working

Install: You do have to delete appleazaliaaudio.kext and remove audiee from your login items for this to work. Then use Kext Helper to install the provided kext. Reboot, and enjoy!

Changelog:

22/04/09: v.3

r8 build

r8: Added improved port descriptions (VHDAEngine.h changed in r6)
r7: Removed personal settings from earlier commit
r6: Support for hints in Info.plist

18/04/09: v.2

Fixed: When you first want to mute the volume, and then get the sound back from the speakers it seems we need to play a bit with the volume so the sound will come back. But this happens only once after a boot

18/04/09: v.1

---------

This is the 0.2.2 modified version for my eeePC 1000H should work too on other eeePCs.

What I did was just to set 100 to some default volume values which were 0 into the Tables.c file of the last VoodooHDA source code.

For those who want to edit them to find a better configuration (as mine was a bit ramdom

) just have a look at the end of the Tables.c source.

Here is my own modified version:

99, // SOUND_MIXER_VOLUME
50, // SOUND_MIXER_BASS
50, // SOUND_MIXER_TREBLE
99, // (was 75) SOUND_MIXER_SYNTH
99, // (was 75) SOUND_MIXER_PCM
99, // (was 75) SOUND_MIXER_SPEAKER
0, // (was 75) SOUND_MIXER_LINE //Thireus was 0 //doesn't work
0, // SOUND_MIXER_MIC //Thireus was 0 //doesn't work
90, // SOUND_MIXER_CD
0, // [?] SOUND_MIXER_IMIX //Thireus was 0 //doesn't work
0, // [?] SOUND_MIXER_ALTPCM //Thireus was 0 //doesn't work
99, // SOUND_MIXER_RECLEV //Thireus was 0
0, // SOUND_MIXER_IGAIN //Thireus was 0
50, // SOUND_MIXER_OGAIN
0, // (was 75) SOUND_MIXER_LINE1 //Thireus was 0 //doesn't work
0, // [?] SOUND_MIXER_LINE2 //Thireus was 0 //doesn't work
0, // [?] SOUND_MIXER_LINE3 //Thireus was 0 //doesn't work
99, // [?] SOUND_MIXER_DIGITAL1 //Thireus was 0
99, // [?] SOUND_MIXER_DIGITAL2 //Thireus was 0
99, // [?] SOUND_MIXER_DIGITAL3 //Thireus was 0
99, // [?] SOUND_MIXER_PHONEIN //Thireus was 0
99, // [?] SOUND_MIXER_PHONEOUT //Thireus was 0
99, // SOUND_MIXER_VIDEO
0, // [?] SOUND_MIXER_RADIO //Thireus was 0
0 // (was 75) SOUND_MIXER_MONITOR //Thireus was 0

Feel free to download the last source code and edit it:

svn co http://voodoohda.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ voodoohda-read-only

I repeat, I just did a random edit of this file!

**On my 1000h, only mono works well for both microphones (the one in front of the eee, and the jack on the left of the computer). There is too much noise for my taste but I'm sure there is an alternative to reduce noise

**

I've also a little issue with my modified version:

[FIXED] **When you first want to mute the volume, and then get the sound back from the speakers it seems we need to play a bit with the volume so the sound will come back. But this happens only once after a boot
