Hey popophobia,

You can take down the ioreg link, I don't need it anymore. I was finally able to reproduce the burst-of-sound issue, and I'm pretty sure people who are no longer able to reproduce this are seeing the result of a race-condition on startup.

See my site http://0xfeedbeef.com/osx86/ for details.

I need to do some more work but a patch should be available soon.

- Turbo

Hey Turbo,

Glad to hear that you got it working! I've attempted to load the kext's as per the information on your website, but each time I do that, the kexts load but disable the volume buttons and do not reproduce that symptom.

Additionally I saw you got your backlight working on your ThinkPad-- do you think you could post that solution, or throw it up somewhere? I'm sure a LOT of us ThinkPad users would love to have it!

Thanks!

Guys the Dell Optiplex 755 also makes use of the AD1984 so do you think if you got this working for the thinkpad chipset that it will work on the Dell Optiplex 755 too???

Thanks for all your hard work keep at it.

Riotz

Thanks. That's great news. I'll be looking forward to that. Finally something is moving in the right direction

Also, as mulletman said, it would be great if you can share some of your driver for X61. We (me an a bunch other fellows here at the little x61 wiki) would be thankful for that.

So does anyone know if this patch would work on a Dell Optiplex 755 which also uses AD1984?

Here is a screenshot I took in OSX 10.5.3 with device ids.

See http://0xfeedbeef.com/osx86/ for more information on the patch.

Worked PERFECTLY for me! Thank you so much Turbo-- once my ebay auctions end next week i'll send something your way!

Thank you SO MUCH!

PS: Also did your x3100 backlight fix work? Do you have any plans of releasing that to the ThinkPad osx86 community? Thanks!

Exciting news guys. I tried the kext on my Optiplex 755 but was not able to get it working. I was wondering if I am doing something wrong. I used Kext Helper to try to get it installed. If there is a different way of getting it in there please let me know.

Riotz

Riotz -- this patch was meant for the way Lenovo machines handle the 1984-- which is different than the way your Dell does unfortunately

Hey,
Tried this on my T61 via kext helper, and it didn't work. Exciting news though!

Are any other kext nedeed along with this patch? I have a raw 10.5.3 kalyway system (no aduio patchers loaded) and the kext can't be loaded. Thx!

bash-3.2# kextLoad -t /System/Library/Extensions/AzaliaTurboTP1984.kext/
kextLoad: extension /System/Library/Extensions/AzaliaTurboTP1984.kext/ appears to be loadable
kextLoad: kmod_control/start failed for org.turbo.driver.AzaliaTP1984; destroying kmod
kextLoad: a link/load error occured for kernel extension /System/Library/Extensions/AzaliaTurboTP1984.kext/
link/load failed for extension /System/Library/Extensions/AzaliaTurboTP1984.kext/

Yea, I got the same error...

Mullet would you mind giving some install instructions on how you got it going I'm getting same error

Remove AppleHDA.kext and AppleAzaliaAudio.kext if you have any. Reboot. Done.

Thanks Turbo. Awesome. I'll see what I can do. Obviously drivers for OS X are getting there.

remove those 2 then install or install first?

Do it in the same session. Reboot afterward. Those three do the same job pretty much.

got it working thanks popophobia

Also Turbo I saw in your page you had a driver for the 82566 that was partially working any chace you can put that up for download as I would love to get my LAN working

I'm so happy!!!! I have sound. I had given up and now I have sound. I'm just so happy. Thank you Turbo for your hard work and skills. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. Everyone, listen, please go visit turbo's page and send him a donation, he deserves it!!!

To anyone having trouble, just follow the standard kext installation procedure. First remove the conflicting AppleAzalia and AppleHDA, then delete /System/Library/Extensions.mkext. Copy the new kext to /System/Library/Extensions/ Then repair permissions with "sudo chown -r root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions/AzaliaTurboTP1984.kext" and "sudo chmod -r 755 /System/Library/Extensions/AzaliaTurboTP1984.kext". Reboot and viola. Works on my X61. Hooray!!!!

someone should make this a sticky

Whoops sorry for not posting that! In any case it's so great to have sound. I second what jacob said and make a donation to Turbo if you can!

On an unrelated note, has anybody been able to get the UltraNav middle button working with ANYTHING on OSX? I'd really like to use it to enable scrolling (like it does on Windows), but it seems nothing recognizes it at all. I heard Smart Scroll does, but it didn't do anything for me (although it did seem to recognize the button in the settings menu).

Middle button... and backlight are really all I need left to make this a complete MacBook for me. But compared to sound these are just minor issues and I can deal with them -- just interested if anyone has found a fix for these two things.

Ouch ... my dreams of having sound on my hackintosh just died a painful death. I hope someone is able to modify the patch or use from what you have learned to get it working on my dell. In any event you guys did a great job in breaking open this patch. Kudos!

My middle button works in FireFox3, it enables scrolling mode. I'm really so happy about this audio, as everyone here knows. The Intel wired ethernet, the backlight, and CPU throttling are the only things not working on my laptop. All minor really, I have a usb ethernet adapter, and shades helps with brightness control. True brighness control would be nice as would CPU throttling since it would save battery, but the battery on this laptop is great anyway, I get 2 hours or more.

Thanks again Turbo! And I'd also like to thank Taruga, who has really pioneered all the audio driver hacking and helped out Turbo along the way. Thanks guys!!!

I would now like to nominate the Lenovo X61 for best hackintosh laptop!!! I have a macbook, but I like this better due to the 12" size, the waterproof keyboard, and now the great hardware support!!!

Riotz im sure there is a way to make it work for you and I hope this fix comes soon for the dell users with AD1984

DSF767 I appreciate you saying that. I am hoping this happens also. When I got this PC I found out that I couldnt use the onboard video, ethernet or sound and I was about to throw in the towel till I digged through my parts bins and found a x1300 and a 3COM NIC. My only option for sound though is a patch as I have used up the only 2 expansion slots and I would hate to have a DSP head phone on all the time. :-\

The button works in FireFox 3? Hrmmm.... I wonder why it isn't initializing on mine then. Was there a setting you changed? Did you play around with any Synaptics ApplePS2Controller.kext's?

no changes, just kalyway 10.5.1 and 10.5.2 update

Thanks so much Turbo! You're the man! A donation will be coming your way soon.

Hey Turbo can you point me in the right direction on trying to get your patch to work with the Dells? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Riotz

It really works !!
Thanks Turbo and popophobia.

Try the Azalia patch for the HP AD1981HD by ovof, it's floating around this forum somewhere. I really know nothing about how Dell is using this chip, but the power-up patch in that kext might help you.

- Turbo

Not working on my lenovo T61 kalyway 10.5.3, I'm gonna reinstall a clean 10.5.2 and try again.

Does HD Audio Output show up in System Prefs->Sound?

I'm using 10.5.2. via 10.5.1 and the kalyway update on the X61, but i believe they're mostly identical.

Jacob

yap, I have audio output and volume control and turbo kext loaded but still no sound (nor sepakers or output mic), maybe there is a diference between T61 and R61 thinkapds, can anyone with T61 lenovo confirm that woks for him? Thx!

AFAIK 10.5.3 changes the way HDA and Azalia are loaded.

I have a T61 and I can confirm it works for both T61 and R61 on 10.5.2 have not tested in 10.5.3

Good news then. Can you please tell me if you have any HDAPatcher, ALCInject, AppleAzazila or AppleHDA kexts in your Extensions folder? If yes, can you pls upload them somwhere? Many thx!

I'd suggest downgrading to 10.5.2 for now. There are no other relevant kexts, so it must be the kernel. Perhaps you could just downgrade your kernel.

Awesome. Thanks for the tip Turbo!

Work great on my T61 with iATKOS v2.0i and 10.5.3 update. Thanks you all.
Wish that the headphone will be work, too. I mainly use headphone at office.

I can confirm that it works on a T61. I used kalyway 10.5.2 then combo update. The only thing I had to do was delete the AppleHDA.kext and AppleAzaliaAudio.kext (something like that). Then I installed the patched kext via kext helper and rebooted. Sound outputs through the speakers right after the boot. It's been working for the past 2 days with no problem. Hope this helps! I was getting the same error upon kextload as you until I deleted those audio packages.

T U R B O: WOW!!!

I'm listening to music on my ThinkBook! (T61P)

To where can I send you $$$ via paypal? And, if you get the 82566 driver going, I'll give you $$$ for that, too!

Mike

Finally works for me
My 10.5.3 was a mess because I tried many thgs there before, I did a clean 10.5.2 install and worked flawless
Many many many thx Turbo!

Last mission: QE/CI for my quadro nvs and I'll have a complete osx86.

Update: upgraded to 10.5.4 (Vanilla+Cameleon) and sound still working!

I tried downloading the file, and get a message about being unable to connect to the server, can this be hosted somewhere else please?

edit. For those that can't find the ad1984 kext you can get it here from x86osx.com, Turbo's site seems to be down.

Anyone have it working for a couple of boots..and then disappear? Not to come back..thus far.

X61s - 7668

Yea I've had the same problem ever since updating to 10.5.4...Is that what version you are running?
Edit: I just tried removing the kext off of turbo's site and installing the one via the latest link on this thread, and while updating the boot cache it made a ding through the speakers, but upon boot there was no sound and "unknown device" in the midi setup. I noticed that the kext were different sizes (newest 244kb other one 260kb), but I haven't looked at the code.



Possible Solution: I uninstalled turbo's kext; then installed azalia installer pkg to get the volume slider back, then removed it and installed the turbo kext again. Worked for me, but we'll see how long it lasts.

I am running 10.5.2 Kalyway with default install options. I just built the laptop a couple of days ago.

I downloaded the TurboAz from the latest link on this thread, since I could not get it from his site. On another note..tangent..where can I get turbos E1000 kext?

I will attempt the uninstall TurboAz, install Azalia, remove it and install back the TurboAz from the latest link. I'll post the results later.

Thanks.

Worked like a charm...thanks. We'll see how long it lasts.

Did exactly as described above and worked.

I've been using it for a couple weeks now without any problems.. except it doesn't like if you plug in headphones. Use a usb headphone adapter for that. I use the Griffin iMic, it's much better than the cheapos on ebay. The network kext isn't available yet, but maybe if we send turbo more donations he will release it.

Hrmm... I just had the same thing happen as posted above.

Upon reboot the sound went away.... quite an odd symptom!

try "sudo rm /System/Library/Extensions.mkext", does that help at all?
