InsanelyMac Forum > VoodooHDA Volume Control Fix [UPDATED][REUPLOADED]

pcrew

Sep 1 2009, 02:51 PM

You only need this if you can't control volume (slider changes but volume doesn't) with VoodooHDA.

This fixes the internal volume control via a lame method

Instructions :
1 . Remove your current VoodooHDA.kext
2 . Install this one

This fix basically relinks volume control from Speaker to PCM

Version 2 :
Mute now works

Just tried it. It does now allow the volume to change, however I managed to do this before by just changing the Output under the System Preferences.

The annoying part is that the Mute button still doesn't work for me. Any chance there is a quick fix for it as well?

Can you paste or attach what changes you have done in the source?
Or might as well upload also the modified source.

I have HP Netbook, and having this issue.

Thanks

Thanks for this! Works great on my Dell E6500 w/ IDT audio. Even fixes the internal mic!

Had to remove the old VoodooHDA prefpane since this broke it, but no big deal!

Works well with the exception that when you unmute your speakers you don't hear any audio unless you change the volume up or down. Any idea why this might be?

function which changes the volume :

void VoodooHDADevice::gmixerSetDefaults(PcmDevice *pcmDevice, UInt16 newVolInt)
{

logMsg("gmixer setting defaults");
for (int n = 0; n < SOUND_MIXER_NRDEVICES; n++){
audioCtlOssMixerSet(pcmDevice, n, newVolInt, newVolInt);
logMsg("Control integer::%p\n",n);
}
//if (audioCtlOssMixerSetRecSrc(pcmDevice, SOUND_MASK_MIC) == 0)
//errorMsg("warning: couldn't set recording source to microphone\n");
}

volume change handler :

IOReturn VoodooHDAEngine::volumeChanged(IOAudioControl *volumeControl, SInt32 oldValue, SInt32 newValue)
{

IOLog("VoodooHDAEngine0.1[%p]::volumeChanged(%p, %ld, %ld)\n", this, volumeControl, oldValue, newValue);

int ossDev = ( getEngineDirection() == kIOAudioStreamDirectionOutput) ? SOUND_MIXER_VOLUME:

PcmDevice *pcmDevice = mChannel->pcmDevice;

mDevice->gmixerSetDefaults(pcmDevice,newValue);

Here you go 64bit kext.

- based on VoodooHDA 0.2.43 sources and the modifications by pcrew
- compiled only for x64, does not work in 32 bit
- no other modifications than those provided in this topic

All credits to VoodooHDA team and pcrew, I just pressed the compile button.

sorry, my mistake. The upload must have gone wrong.
A new try.

now it is compiled for 32bit and 64bit, tested on 64bit (well that is when the file is more than 0kb :-))

When it is again 0KB, let me know and point me to a place where I can share files.
HB.

PS:
the files to change are VoodooHDADevice.cpp (and .h) and VoodooHDAEngine.cpp

- the gmixerSetDefaults method is a new method for class VoodooHDADevice. So add a method to the header file (VoodooHDA.h) and copy-paste the method from pcrew in VoodooHDADevice.cpp

- find in VoodooHDAEngine.cpp the method volumeChanged(.......) and copy-paste the volumeChanged method from pcrew in the file.

for those who want the sources: voodoohdaengine.cpp & voodoohdadevice.cpp are attached. btw, I only changed the engine. To compile, download voodoohda sources and change these two files. The whole source is more than 2Mb.

the patch worked for me on a Dell Latitude E6500.

No need to add a method to the header file VoodooHDADevice.h ?

Nope, moved the implemantation of that method directly to the volumeChanged method in VoodooHDAEngine. VoodooHDAEngine.cpp is the only file that I have changed, the device file (.cpp) is just added because I fiddled a bit with it.

Thanks for the kext! it seems to fix my internal mic on my Dell M6400 and seems like Volume control works now. i am on 10.6.1 running in 64bit mode.

i do have one issue tho... i get a Kernel Panic booting normally, i have to boot with a -f flag to get my machine to boot. any idea as to what might be going on here?

thanks!

I dont know it was working for me 2 weeks ago. I have played with the sleep in my Latitude E6400 and now it doesn't work. I've downloaded the version1 and version2 as well, but none of them is working.

I have a feeling that something else is wrong, can you please check my kexts to see where is the mistake? I think I have a dependency missing or something like this.

Works on HP DV7-1025nr with IDT audio & SL 10.6.2, Only issue is that the volume goes from 0 to full only in the last half of bars of volume control. This would be the best driver EVER if it used the full range. But Thank you for your work on this & Amazing progress in a short time..

Just noticed something interesting, after pressing the mute button on my keyboard or checking the box under System Preferences / Sound, it works and sound goes off as you would expect, however when I uncheck the Mute box / press the button again, there is no sound, I have to toggle the volume up/down to get it back. Is this expected and if not, does anyone know how to fix it?

Running on an Asus P5Q Pro Turbo.

Thanks!
