I've finally got my ALC880 audio working on ECS 915-m5 mobo. Many people have had same problem so here it is.

1)navigate to /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext/Contents/Plugins/AppleHDAController.kext/Contents/info.plist
2)add 0x26688086 under <key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key><string>0x27D88086 0x26688086</string>
3)save and exit
4)navigate to /System/Library/Extensions/
5)delete Extensions.kextcache and Extensions.mkext
6)Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility
7)select your hard disk and click repair permissions
8)Reboot

You should now have Line Out and Line In working!

*EDIT* After the first reboot I had Line Out and Line In, I noticed only AppleHDA.kext's were loaded. Another reboot loaded AppleAzaliaAudio.kext and now I only have HD Audio Output. I will experiment more tonight, I was enjoying telling my PC what to do with Speech Recognition.

*EDIT* This only seems to work with ICH6

*EDIT* I no longer have a 915 mobo do to a severe lightning storm, so my support on this will be limited.

To make it easier I'm going to compile the kext's for ALC860,ALC880, and ALC882 so it will work with all Intel HD Audio. I may need help getting the ven and dev ids. If you've got them please post them here.

Anyone knows a way to get Device ID in Mac without resorting to Linux or Windows?
"About this Mac" has blank space for audio
and skippyretard if you get any kext compiled please describe your steps.
I've been trying compile numerous kext using Xcode 2.2 and so far no luck

Skippyretard

For Realtek High Definition Audio ALC860 they are VEN_10EC and DEV_0880 and SUBSYS_08600000

It's interesting you have audio input what version of OS X are you using?

Ironically you can get ven/dev ids from system profiler for components that have kexts loaded...
ALC860 has worked from the outset as output only.
Though I must admit I haven't tested it since upgrading to 1099, I still have "No input devices found".

This has been loading the Azalia kext, It seems as if this thread is about using the AppleHDA kext(s) instead?

i am unable to find appleHDA.kext, help me out.

You don't say what you are running 10.4.1 or 10.4.3 or what you are using to find it (Terminal or Finder)
skippyretard's instructions are pretty clear.

i am running 10.4.1 and i used both terminal and finder, and i am still unable to find out appleHDA.kext.

There are more detailed instructions in the 945G chipset thread here (my board has alc882 for example): http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?sh...ic=2243&hl=945g

Sorry, I should have mentioned I'm using 10.4.3 Build 8F1099. This was ment for ALC880 users as our controller id was not being initailized, that's why Firedrake's method worked after booting from windoze. ALC860 users only need to modify AppleAzaliaAudio.kext to include 0x10ec0860 because your chipset was already being initailized by AppleHDAController.kext. I hope that clears it up, please post your results, chipset, and build # so we can compile a user guide for all Intel HD Audio users.

*EDIT* Also ALC882 users should be able to add 0x10ec0882 to AppleAzaliaAudio.kext and it will work, I belive it has same controller id as ALC860

OMG This works.. I simply added 0x26688086 to the info.plist in AppleHDAController, & for the first time, sound input!

Anyone know what to do to get a Sigmatel 9223 working. I have tried everything in the forums, and still no sound! I have 10.4.3 from install DVD.

tried with 24d58086 kextloads but nothing in preferences etc ...

Plugged speakers into front headphone jack and sound works! There is alot of static though and system sounds don't play correctly. Any ideas there?

MacP4, I can't seem to compile it either. guess it's not as easy as I thought. what mobo do you have?

bebox, try 0x24c58086

cyrana, I scanned that thread before but missed the discussion on the AppleHDA.kext. That certainly would have saved me some time!

ghost98, try putting 0x76808384 in the AppleHDAController.kext info.plist. Someone in the thread cyrana pointed to got they're 9223 working.

i am unable to get an update for 10.4.3 can somebody mail me appleHDA.kext on taksh_jaisinghani@yahoo.com, i have alc880 and i am diying to start my audio card asap.

Taksh, AppleHDA.kext seems to be compiled only for 10.4.3 so you'll have to upgrade to get it supported.
Maxxuss just released the patch for 8F1111 if you need it. http://win2osx.net/forum/showthread.php?t=1870

Thanks a lot skippyretard, i will try to download os x-86 10.1.3, but that to is in 3 gbs. Is there any small upgrade file available for 10.4.3.

No, the 10.4.3 userland update only updates some programs. It still uses the 10.4.1 kernel.

just a word of warning.. I tried the same thing in 8f1111, and it caused a "you must restart" kernel panic & rendered osx86 unbootable. I had to boot linux & edit out 0x26688086 to get it back..

yeah, I just finished installing 8F1111 and went thru the same thing. I just disabled audio in BIOS, deleted extensions.kextcache, and repaired permissions on the drive. After reboot set audio in BIOS and all was good again. HD Audio Output works but no MIC or LineIn.

The line in thing was all that was of interest to me.. I'll have another fiddle with it tomorrow, it seems odd that it should work a treat in 1099 & panic the kernel in 1111.. Any pointers as to what might or might not work would be good..

ive got analogue input/output now - but no optical output and only stereo.
alc 880 supports 8 channel output.
did anyone get the 8 channel output or the optical output to work?

azaliaaudio doesnt seem to load anymore. hm.

and: thank you so much for this tip. its the first time i got my alc880 working - after 4 month of trying...

slowdiver, after you reboot do you still have Line In/Out or does it show as HD Audio Output? Mine appeared the same as yours after the first reboot, but another reboot started loading azaliaaudio and switched to HD Output.

Hagar, did you make any progress?

Have someone compiled kext for ALC882 on MOBO Asus P5LD2-VM with native Installation 10.4.3 Build 8F1099 on SATA. LAN works fine but have no Sound at Onboard ALC882.

Can´t disable Front Panel audio Connector in Bios!

Please Help!

Did you try adding your DeviceID to the Azalia kext?

here ist my edited Azalia kext ...

<string>AppleAzaliaAudioCodecALC880</string>
<key>IOHDAudioCodecVendorID</key>
<string>0x10ec0880 0x10ec0882</string>
<key>IOProbeScore</key>
<integer>10000</integer>
<key>IOProviderClass</key>
<string>IOHDAudioCodecDevice</string>

but I have no Sound ....

and in System Profiler is no Audio ...

Sound works now!
with the edited kext and audio-Midi konfiguration
i have Sound on Port 7 of the Audi Connectors of the Motherboard,
only Stereo .. and not 5.1 but iTunes work ... fine ...

Thanks to all!

Glad to hear that.



Yeah, I do not know why System Profiler does not show many thing that are enabled/working/supported.

Sorry I've been MIA lately, glad to hear you got sound working WiOmac. I think I've figured out what I need to do and how to do it, but I can't seem to find the source code forAppleHDA.kext on the Darwin website. If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be very helpful.

Ok I already tried pulging my speakers to the front jack but still no sound, I did lots of things and I don't know if any of this may be interfereing, I added 0x76818384 to AppleAzaliaAudio.kext/Contents/Info.plist so now I got the audio output listed on the audiopanel, then I tried adding 0x76818384 to AppleAC97AudioIntelICH.kext but that didn't work either (for either jacks, front and back), then I forced to load AppleHDA.kext but that wouldn't let Azalia load, no luck eitherway. What am I doing wrong? At leas I want to have Audio comming from my front panel. Do I need new speakers?

MacP4

That won't work, I've already tried it, but was worth the try, the bad thing is that I lost my display configuration and I can't seem to get it back...

So I am I right in saying that in 8F1111 on ECS 915-m5 mobo HD Audio out should work with the changes in AppleHDAController Info.plist? I'm not quite clear about this as the kext specifies ICH7 and I thought this mobo used ICH6 Audio. AppleAzaliaAudio.kext needed changing too, adding in 0x26688086 (is this really necessary?). However, on boot and after the reboots described by skippyretard the HD driver works until the computer is powered off. On switching back on no HD Audio on sounds in system Preferences or mid! Any suggestions. have I got it all wrong or is this experienced by others?
Thanks for all the hard work folks!

Edit: didn't need to change AppleAzaliaAudio.kext. Still doesn't work after powered off. Needs extensions.kextcache and .mkext deleting each time with double reboot.

Here's a new one for ya, the HD Audio Kext freezes on my Asus P5LD2-VM, and won't load any audio. It has a unique panic debugger. Any ideas?

EDIT:
Ok here is the key to the Asus board's sound puzzle. The controller card id in windows is:
The whole string:
HDAUDIO\FUNC_01EC&DEV_0882&SUBSYS_10430000
Device Instance Id:
All Same except FUNC_01&Ven_10EC&Dev_0882&Subsys_10430000&REV_1001\4&9de81e8&0&0001

So the goal is to figure out the controller ID, because the default causes a Kernel Panic, and if it's changed to something else... it loads ok.

Thanks a lot skippyretard!!!
At least my all my hardware works propertly. MacOS become paradise OS.

We need an old version of applehda.kext, anyone got it?
>>>>>EIP: 0x00192a93

and photo of all information screen shows, for Maxxus, don't wear it out folks.

(any other info you need, i'm checking in twice an hour all day, will send virgins.)

Had a similar panic, which disappeared when disabling HDaudio on my 945G (P5LD2-VM) or removing AppleHDA.kext from the installed system.
I replaced AppleHDA.kext with the 8f1099 version, deleted kextcache and mkext and rebooted to a working audio.

Hope this helps

I've tried to do the same (I also have this Realtek component, but on an Acer TravelMate 8104), but I have no sound...
Anything else I should do, or did you change anything else under 8f1111 (I have the 8f1111a)?

Hey Try and get the 8f1099 applehda.kext file. That's what I need to, in order to get it to work, you may need the same, or at least something to try.
-Kc

Where did you get it?
I have the 8f1109 DVD, but I can't find it there... Anyone?

I would be greateful for just output, can anyone point me in the right direction (for 8f1111a)?

Can you simply switch the appleHDA.kext from one build to another?

I heard you can with this particular one and make it work still. Most won't though. If it doesn't work simply restore the old one. As it is the default applehda.kext will cause my system to kernel panic if I have audio enabled and applehda not disabled. To get the file we must find someone with it and then post it here, so all the audio problem people can benefit. I have gone on every post and found nothing yet. I have sent messages to people as well. We need to find someone who will spend like 3 seconds and post it
-Kc

Sorry, I'm wrapped up in another project right now. This is my AppeHDA.kext, hope it helps.

Just to clarify, after copying this file to extensions folder you need to repair permissions and delete .kextcache and .mkext and reboot. You will get the "you need to restart your computer" message, press the reset button (DO NOT TURN OFF YOUR COMPUTER just reset) you may have to do this two or three times and then it will boot into the desktop with sound enabled. I have this working on 8F1111A.

The file should work with any 10.4.3 kernel (8F1099, 8F1111, and 8F1111A)

Well it loaded I think, but I did edit AppleAzaliaAudio.kext earlier, should I not have done that?
Edit:- Still working on it, found my backup of Azalia, and trying it out... hopefully works... Nope hm..... Any suggestions? I will continue to hack at it...
Edit2:
Tried a kextload of AppleHda.kext.... and it says a load link error occured. Whatever that means..
Ok found the problem:
Validation Failures
"Kext has a kernel dependency prior to version 6.0 and CFBundle Version does not match executable's module_version" = true

Missing Dependencies
com.apple.iokit.IOHDAFamily =
No valid version of this dependency can be found...

So if I change some code in Iohdafamily... maybe just maybe it will work...
Yeah, no it didn't... but i have moved the sub plugins out of the Applehda folder, and moved them by themselves in extensions


Nope.....
So is there any way to completely disable HD audio... I just want audio period. Two Chanels. And it looks like the ASUS board was not the way to go

i don't have a reset button on my computer. i only have a power button. what do I do?

Open the side of the case and use a jumper to short the reset pins.

I don't know if it has something to do with it, but the dev id's that the ICH-7 Specification Update PDF at Intel says are different than the ones I use (even at windows).

The ones I use @ windows are 0880 (dev id) - 8086 (ven id = intel)
The ones @ the update pdf for the ICH-7 Southbridge are:

27DE for AC'97 Audio

and

27D8 for Intel High Definition Audio

Both of them are different from 0880.

I don't know if this changes anything, or if someone already checked this before, but as I've seen someone pointing to a Intel ICH Spec before and it was also related to audio, maybe this helps...

As soon as I get home, I'll try swapping the values in AppleAzaliaAudio (for 8f1111) and I'll say smth in here.

Link for the DOC: http://download.intel.com/design/chipsets/...dt/30701408.pdf - PAGE 22.

Yeah, I know this isn't a very good solution, but I got pissed off and bought a $49 fix. I went and got a USB 24 Bit Sound Blaster Live USB sound card. Works great, sounds great, and no headache. Plug in and away you go!!! God bless them. I needed the sound to work by monday for a specific task, and it just wasn't going to cut it for me, oh well... Hope you all have better luck, but that asus board has some issues I think when it comes to the new build, well I mean for sound at least.

Hey, can you try and change the dev ID's on AppleAzalia (for the IDA one) or AppleAC97 (with the AC'97 one) and report? my OS X partition was screwed when I tried to salvage another one that I had accidently deleted...

The system fans didn't turn off when restarting so I guess it's resetting properly. I resetted it 8 times and it still shows the restart screen. Could the reason be that I turned off the computer holding the power button a couple times before I did this?
