Full Version: AppleHDA: ALC880 / ICH7 working, Guide to adapt
InsanelyMac Forum > OSx86 Project > Hardware and Drivers > Sound
macdanger
Hi guys,

after being desperate on trying every hint and hack, every kext and following the guide of Taruga. I still had no luck. The AppleHDAControler seemed to load but not the AppleHDADriver.
So I decided to do a little 2 weeks research by myself, and eventually it works!

I can't upload, so the kext can be found here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?3fgnmmiv0yb

Disclaimer:
• This kext is based on Apples current Audio Update for 10.4.10 (kext version 1.3.3). It may work on older systems or not.
• Another thing: it seems to be very difficult to write a generic driver for the audio codecs, because the pathmaps seem to differ depending on the number of jacks you have on your board.
• One last thing: you should mute your speakers while the initialization (at booting the OSX) there are some cracking noise. Until now, I couldn't find out how to suppress this.

First, thanks to Taruga who has made a very good guide for AppleHDA hacking.

Things to do:
• If someone could help me, I would pack this one into an Installer package. Maybe skippyretard will add a package to his thread...
• not all jacks the codec supports are in the pathmap right now, because I only have 4 rear jacks to test
• 5.1 sound? I can't imagine how one could realize 5.1 sound with only 3 analogue jacks and one spdif, but this maybe possible somehow :-)

What is supported:
• commell LV-677 utilizing an intel 945GM/ICH7 with 3 Jacks (Line-in, Mic, Line-out) and SPDIF-out (optical)
• As the codec is documented I guess at least all boards with ICH7 and Realtek ALC880 Codec should work.

What's working by now:
• line-out with full volume and balance control
• spdif out
• line-in with gain control
• mic with gain control and ambient noise reduction. Mic is pre-amp'ed

What do you need:
• ALCInject
• this AppleHDA.kext
• luck :-)

The easiest way to install this:
• Use one of the alc88x packages to install ALCInject (e.g. http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...&hl=alc883)
• Change the string DAAAAA== to NAAAAA==
• remove AppleAzaliaAudio.kext and AppleHDA.kext from your /System/Library/Extensions folder
• copy the AppleHDA.kext to your /System/Library/Extensions folder
• repair permissions, restart and cross fingers :-)


Documentation used:
• a self created codec dump of my sound codec using knoppix (cat /proc/asound/codec#0 >codec.dump)
• Taruga's HDA guide http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...9&hl=alc883
• Documentation (Datasheet) from Realtek: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downlo...;Downloads=true

For the ones who want to adapt this kext to other codecs, here is what I've done:
• AppleHDA binary:
As described in Toruga's guide you have to patch the binary to match your codec. In my case exchanging the 2 occurrences of the original ALC885 codec (0x10EC0885) didn't work. So I tried something else. I changed the 3 occurrences of the sigmatel codec (0x83847680, search for 80768483) to the one of the realtek acl880 (0x10EC0880, insert 8008EC10).
• AppleHDAControler plist:
The original AppleHDAController plist already contained an entry for ICH7 but the codec ID was a Sigmatel (0x83847680, decimal: -2088470912 or 2206496384). So I changed this to the realtek alc880 (0x10EC0880, decimal: 283904128).
• ALCInject:
I tried all LayoutID's and injected them with ALCInject. I found only one that at least loaded the AppleHDADriver and gave some cracking noise to the speakers. Now I knew, I'm almost there :-). It was LayoutID 52 (0x34)
• AppleHDA plist:
I copied the Pathmap of LayoutID 52 (pathmap 18) to a new pathmap 19 and pointed the Layout 52 to it. Then I did some trial and error and used Taruga's Guide and my linux codec#0 dump to add more and more parts of the codec.

Hi, does it work with alc882m (from asus n4l-vm dh) ?
macdanger
nope, ALC880 only, but it maybe possible to adapt the methode i described. The thing is, it may be alot of work :-) Did you try the AppleHDA patcher here in this forum?
maxoid
Macdanger,

Well done. It's great to know that someone could do one more successful step to get sound working.

I'm trying to do the same on AD1986a codec (0x11d41986) + ICH7M controller (0x808627d8).
Unfortunately, without any success yet.

Could you post some more details on the steps you've made (including modification of all Info.plist files)?
I've noticed in your kext some changes that are not described in the tutorial.
For example, you have changed almost all codec IDs in AppleHDA.kext Info.plist and also LayoutIDs in Info.plist of AppleHDAController.kext

Thanks in advance.

I am going to try this on my ALC262, and see if I have any joy, but can someone explain what

QUOTE

means?
maxoid
Loccy,

Change the string DAAAAA== to NAAAAA== means changing the value of the key layout-id in Info.plist of ALCinject.kext.
You see the value DAAAAA== only if you use a kind of text editor to edit Info.plist which is not the best idea.

If you use Property List Editor (link can be found on this site) the value will be seen in it as <0c000000 > which actually stands for 12 (decimal).
According to Macdanger's tutorial it should be changed to <34000000 >

Regards,
MaX

Yes I tried the Taruga's method with a codec dump but it didn't work. Everytings was visible in the sound pref pane, but no sound. Is there somebody who have a working alc882m on asus n4l-vm ?
Krazubu
Hi Macdanger,
It's nice to see a way to extend audio support to many codecs.
Do you know if this method also applies to ICH6 HDA codecs ?
Loccy
No joy on the 262 I'm afraid. Kexts wouldn't even load until I'd also changed the IOPCIPrimaryMatch to 0x27d88086. Then I could manually load the kexts but they didn't do very much - no output device found.
macdanger
Yes, this extension really only apply to alc880 with the ID 0x10ec0880. It may be possible to compile one kext for all realtek codecs and many chipset vendors, but this is alot of work. When i have the time, i will try to do so. The Problem is that it is not guarantied that every realtek codec may work. Apple has already support for some alc88x codecs in the kext but we don't know if all realtek codecs will get initialized the same way.

Greetings MacDanger

I don't know if you saw my post a bit further down the forum, but I'm offering money for anyone who can get it going on a 262, if that helps free up your time smile.gif

Hey Mac Danger, that is very good news !!!

I was getting desperate with some codecs, today I had the opportunity to test an Asus P5GD1-VM with Realtek ALC861, sound output is working atm.
With a little more time I will make it fully working.

So, it seems we have now 2 more sound codecs supported.

ALC861 was a pain in the ass to figure it out !!!!!

Hi Taruga,
could you explain me how to get sound output working in Asus F3Jc laptop (ALC861) ?

Thanks.

He's working on it. Let's wait and hope. I'm not religious, but I'm going to light a candle to Saint Taruga smile.gif

very thanks for your working! happy.gif

could you try help us to found a way make ALC883 on ICH7 working?

plese

Soon I will post it, I have 2 very different versions of ALC861 codec to work, one is working already, the other (the one you need) is in testing. May a couple of days and it will be ready (or not) tongue.gif
Lets keep our fingers crossed.

Thanks everybody. We just need it as package installer for lazy persons (like me). afro.gif

still waiting for ALC883 on ich7,sleep.gif|||

I am on Intel915GAVL mobo with Realtek HD Audio 880 + ICH6

I've edited alcinject for LayoutID 52, and added ich6 to HDAcontroller.
All kexts loads now finally and i was able to record my voice with an external microphone.
Mic-In Works smile.gif
Output is still dead, but it is listed in Sound preferences.
Im hearing some cracking noise (3 times after the alcinject loads) when system boots up.
I guess i need to find the right pin configurations and Output should work too. smile.gif
Now, i going to study how these pin configs/pathmaps/layouts works. smile.gif
Btw, volume slider finally works too with appleHDA. smile.gif
If someone will able to help about fixing the output then i can attach codecdump and ioregs.

Thanks to macdanger, Taruga and all who helped on this project.

EDIT: Input and output works smile.gif

My first post here, want to thank everyone for their contributions. I wouldn't have this going like it is without everyones help!

I have a laptop with (what I assume) is an ALC880 chipset for audio, except its owned by Intel (pulled with scanpci in linux):
CODE
pci bus 0x0000 cardnum 0x1b function 0x00: vendor 0x8086 device 0x2668

But a pull from a working Linux codec (which doesn't quite match the codec layouts I see on Tarugas pathcher page:

Where I am confused is with two things:

1) Is the codec Vendor different than the physical card?

2)Unfortunately your ALC880 kexts dont load at startup. If I manually request them to load, they will, but the AppleHDA.kext will unload after some idle time (I think the kernel assumes its not needed?)

I made sure to adjust the controller under ICH7 to include my vendor. I didn't think I would need to edit the binary as you did that, and your codec matches mine (according to linux).

Any ideas on how to get my card working? If I can at least get it to load up, I can fiddle with the codec following the guide until I get something working.

Thanks for all your help!

For some reason, after rebooting my computer this morning, the kexts loaded and my sound is working! I do get the "Rice Krispies" at boot you were describing but all is good.

Thanks for taking the time to create the codec!!

Hey hedge, glad to hear it works. Could you upload your 2 kext files? I'd like to try with yours. Thanks.

well ... 1st of all, macD, great work ... but ... (there's always a "but" ... lol)
I've tried on my D915GAV, and after a lot of tries, all i've been able to have is a very beautiful "Alcinject is not correctly installed" (or somethin' like that ... i'm in french, not in english ! loool)

Any Ideas ? Maybe Amalf (that has the same mobo than me ...) could explain how he does the trick ...

Basic informations :
- Jas 10.4.8
- D915GAV
- and ... well .. Dunno what to say more than that !lool

Thx for Helping !

macdanger where did you find LayoutID for ALCInject, in linux code dump or elsewhere?
i am traying to do same thing with ALC862.
Thx in
MadTux
Ok. I found otool inside tarugas patch.

@MadTux:I did trial and error, but this only gave me a crackling line-out, nothing else. I completely recreated the layout. This is not so difficult and is descibed in Tarugas Guide. U need either a linux codec dump of your sound chip or you just go to the Realtek website. The have a very fine documentation (data sheet) about their codecs. In the documentation there is block diagram of all connections the chip has. These connections (or relations) must be presented in the layout.Example:You want to add line-out... you need a plug, an amplifier and a sound source. If you look into the documentation of the realtec alc880 in the block diagram you will find this:Fount-OUT-L/R (14h) ---> Amp (0Ch) --> DAC (02h)If you are not sure, if this is the plug you want, verify this in your linux dump where the plugs are better described:Node 0x14 [Pin Complex] wcaps 0x40018d: Stereo Amp-Out Amp-Out caps: ofs=0x00, nsteps=0x00, stepsize=0x00, mute=1 Amp-Out vals: [0x00 0x00] Pincap 0x083f: IN OUT HP Detect Pin Default 0x01014010: [Jack] Line Out at Ext Rear Conn = 1/8, Color = Green Pin-ctls: 0x40: OUT Connection: 1 0x0cAnd additionally you can see to which amp it connects (0x0c)The only pain is that you have to calculate all values from hexa decimal (in the dump and the data sheet) to decimal values in the plist.I hope this helps a bit :-)greetings macdanger

This error comes from kexts that doesn't have the right permissions in the file system. Just do a "Repair Permissions" in the Disk Utility and ALCInject should load fine!

yep ... done it ... but the thing was that the diskutility was saying that everything was ok ... now it's ok, but ... still have no idea on how to make it work on a D915GAV ! looll ... i've followed the instructions, and well .. Azalia gives me sound right now ! loool

By the way, Amalf, can you send me your AppleHDA and ALCInject please ?

Hey Guys,

I have a Toshiba P-205 laptop.

I have Leopard installed, my webcam everything works minus Microphone/Input Jack.

The package below always works and remains to restore my sound after trying the tons of kext options to get my microphone working.
AzaliaAudio.pkg should give 2ch output on most High Def Audio chipsets (updated v1.1)

In the info.plist it shows I have the 880 is this correct? If so what am I doing wrong here:

I install ALC883Audio.pkg for the ACLinject.kext

Property List Editor to edit the Info.plist of ALCinject.kext changed <0c000000> to <34000000>

Removed AppleAzaliaAudio.kext and AppleHDA.kext from /System/Library/Extensions

Copied the AppleHDA.kext to your /System/Library/Extensions

Repaired permissions, restart and crossed fingers :-)

I did this multiple times using set/repair permissions utility via this site as well.

Any ideas or help is welcomed smile.gif
braveskunk
so, anybody got it working with ad1986A maybe? later this night i will try to figure it out. hopefully:P
and if anybody has any kext supporting mic in/line in/out (in other words: full working) pls send them to milosz.engel@gmail.com or PM me. many thanks:)
till later, guys:D

did someone save the attachment somewhere, I would be really happy to use it (the link provided is not working anymore)

5.1 sound? I can't imagine how one could realize 5.1 sound with only 3 analogue jacks and one spdif, but this maybe possible somehow :-)

This should be possible by changing the jack, which is part of the HDA specification. It would be really nice to have a headphone out instead of a line in (for me)

this might be of interest:

Bumping this to the top... I'm attempting to get the AD1984 working...

Have things changed moving to 10.5.3 or should this method also work?

Hi

I saw in previous posts ASUS P5GD1-VM was working...
i've one, but no sound with this method; ,it's ok with azalia, but only speakers

can someone can help me to make sound work as expected

i've export codec.txt with knoppix 5.1.1, asus said it's an alc861, knoppix says it's a alc880

i've took applehda.kext from kalyway 10.5.2 (i use kalyway 10.5.2 + kalyway combo update 10.5.3 + 10.5.4 update from apple)

thanks in advance

i've added my codec below
marcelokremer
I have installed it and now my audio is totally gone!
when I boot it can't read the .kext files.
not even when I press the volume button it works.

I've deleted the .kext and copied the old one it it still didn't work.

what can I do to solve it?
asae
Dear o Masters..would you be so kind to adapt this solution also for ALC888/ICH7 for our MSI Wind/Advent/Akoya? smile.gif

Or maybe give us some guide on how to modify this to ALC888/ICH7?

Currently sound is working thru internal speaker, but not built-in mic, line/mic in and line out. Am hoping at least built-in mic in can work too...

cheers, asae
