Hey guys,

I updated my system to 10.4.8 and tried the HDA patch for ALC883.

Before back with the old kernel, I was getting sound from my internal speakers only through
the AppleAzalia.kext by adding the device id into the plist.

Now with the new kernel, when I install the AppleHDA for ALC883, i only get
sound from the headphone jack.

I tried the kernel dump method and the patch recognized the internal speakers
however again with only sound output from the headphone jack.

Is it possbile and if so how to get sound From both my Internal Speakers and the Headphone jack
thorugh selection from the Sound Menu?

Thanks.

Here is the screensho with the ALC883.pkg installed

Skippy, I truly am a RETARD. I tried your ALC883 package before and it didn't work for me, but after delving deeper and now understanding the problem with kernels etc etc (just over a month on OSX86), I confirm that I now have working 5.1 on analog jacks. In fact, I even have an extra Line-Out output slider under Sound Prefs, so I prolly have digital out working without a way to test it. What I can't figure out is how to make my stereo music in iTunes to play in all 5 channels... is it even possible? Can iTunes in OSX do this? I played around with Sound Prefs and I can send the stereo channels to all of my stereo line-outs (front, rear, center/sub), but choosing Aggregate Device only sends it to my front speakers. I've already set all 3 streams to 16-bit and I can confirm that they all work and are properly assigned to their respective speakers. Line-In and Built-In Mic work too, but I keep the Mic muted.

All in all, great work! I could've made it work earlier if I wasn't such a dumb noob I'm going to check Audio MIDI Setup again later after a reboot to see if it holds the Aggregate Device Speaker Setup, I think that's the problem that why I can only hear iTunes through the front speakers.


Some pics:

No use sending system alerts and sound effects to all 6 channels... the front speakers suffice.

Count them... 4 stereo channels! Aggregate Device sends 3 streams for 5.1!

Inputs also working well, although I don't have any use for the Built-In Mic... TV audio currently streaming through Line-In

Audio Midi Setup soon to be tackled... again.


Ok, I rebooted and checked again... Audio MIDI Setup indeed does not save my 5.1 Aggregate Device Setting. Does anyone else have this problem? I've set every device to 44KHz 2ch-16bit, and matched the streams to their channels, applied, done. Quitting Audio MIDI Setup and starting it up reveals that my Aggregate Device is back to Stereo. Is this a bug or incompatibility? I'm sooo close to 5.1!



Looks like I have a similar problem with Laik.


LAST EDIT:

Audio MIDI Setup doesn't seem to save the settings but it does, VLC player properly decodes 5.1 tracks from DVDs. Truly, I am a retard. Thanks for your work Skippy!

Same problem here. I installed 10.4.8 and ALC883Audio (i have ALC833 chip) with the 3 ports options, but only recognizes the headphone port. wtf?

EDIT
Solved by selecting 6 ports during the installation. But now if i plug the headphones, the speakers are not muted. I have to select the headphones from the sound properties, in order to mute the speakers and make the headphones to work. Guessing that this is not the normal behaviour...

Thanks skippyretard, works great on my Gigabyte ga-81945/alc883.

Any solution for alc888 in asrock conroe945g-dvi, to enable de line-in?

Regards

maybe silly but .... can be configured the driver (for alc883) to have a proper name for out-put - like front rear, center... bla bla ?
It is just a question - and I do apreciate the hard work for getting the driver working !

hi guys,
i have a ALC880 ICH6 audio chip and after the installation my strings for the IOHDAudioCodecVendorID and IOPCIPrimaryMatch in AppleAzaliaAudio.kext are correct. when i set the 0x26688086 string for IOPCIPrimaryMatch in AppleHDA.kext i still have no sound.
can someone help me please?

For all the guru sound peoples from here.... Ok, I was a intel D945GNTD sigmatel possesor...until yesterday ... reading this thread, I have understand that alc 883 can give 5.1 output.. tired to make my sigmatel 92220 to work, and tired to hear strange sounds on my soundblaster live usb .. I have go to a shop and I have buy a Asus P5L 1394 mainboard with 945P chipset (ich 7 + alc 883 sound). I have reinstalled OSX, and I have installed the patch driver from this thread (for alc 883, of course). My new mb have on back only 3 connectors (pink green and lime) All I get is .. stereo .. and I am disperated ... I have choose at install 3 out-puts .. If I choose 6 output-s (when I install the driver) i can see 3 line-out .. I have created the agregate device
power up vlc .. but no sound at all.... not even stereo .. can some one help-me ? please ?!!!!!!!!!

Hey everybody. I have a Compal HEL81 Notebook (CoreDuo, GMA950, ALC883) and the driver works perfectly on this notebook (except for a pop noise when a sound will start being played).

Anyway, I can't find any kernel that will support Sleep from 10.4.8 on (haven't tested 10.4.9 yet), but on 10.4.6, sleep works as it does on a real Macintosh.

But if I use 10.4.6, I can't use the ALC883 drivers. Is there any way to make the driver work on the 10.4.6 kernel?

Thanks a bunch in advance !

Carlos

I'm sorry, I meant 10.4.7 instead of 10.4.8. If I use .7, the notebook sleeps and all that, but the ALC883 audio won't work. If I use .8, sleep crashes and ALC883 work.

Is there a way to use the ALC883 driver on a 10.4.7 Kernel?

TIA.

Carlos

This one worked for me. I've been strugging for over a month to make my audio work. Downloading and installing this file did the trick.

Thanks

Carlos,

I have the very same gear that you have. Did you tried to use headphones on them? It works?

It doesn't work for me.

Just wanna let you guys know that SkippyRetard's driver works great for my Presario 500 laptop. Thanks Skippy.

i have updated to 1049, and then i installed 883, it doesnt seem to work on new kernel 8.9.1..

Edit - Works just fine, i didnt installed it properly lol

It is working, at last for me, 10.4.9 with kernel 8.9.1 - but, what so ever, I cannot get more that stereo !!!! If somebody can help-me to get that 5.1 I put the linux dump for my card (my mb is a asus P5L 1394, alc 883, 945P chipset). Hope to see a sunshine in here, since I was unnable to find master Skippyretard or Taruga on the chat room !

hi, i got the alc883 working on my generic laptop. sound is working fine. now, when i choose the line out as my default sound output, the sound goes out from there, but when i try to plug in my headphone on the headphone jack, nothing comes out of it. sound just continues to go out of the line out jack. now i chose the headphone jack as the default sound output, the sound comes out of there, but no sound comes out of the lineout anymore.

is it suppose to be like that? is there any way to make it auto switch from line out to headphone jack when i plug in a headphone?

thanks in advance guys.

I have exactly the same problem as I mentioned before. Sure it would be better if someone could find a solution, but nevertheless I'm completely satisfied as far I have sound at all...
Thanks skippyretard, great job

hey don't get me wrong, im still grateful for this wonderful driver. thanks bunch skippy!

I don't think ALC883 auto-sensing works under Mac, AFAIK only the WinOS drivers have auto-sensing properly working.

Your Azalia + ALC883 makes my Acer Aspire 3680 sound alive.

Thank you very much!

The ALC883 driver doesn't seem to work on the ECS NFORCE 570 SLI-A motherboard. With 1.0.4.8+8.8.1 I run the installer and nothing happens upon boot. Unless, is there anything else I'm supposed to do after running the installer?

EDIT: Spoke too soon, another reboot and suddenly it works. Headphones only like many others, but a step forward.

I am about to go for the 10.4.9 update on Gigabyte DS3 system but, I definitely do not want to lose my 5.1 setup.
tokra, did you get the 5.1 setup back? or
Can anyone confirm if 5.1 setup works or not under 10.4.9?

Thanks!!

Nope. no 5.1 so far .. newer was ... only stereo and I am disperated

Uh-oh..there goes my 10.4.9 for ds3

So is this common to all 10.4.9 updates?
I mean, noone successfully activated 5.1 setup under 10.4.9?

I have an intel high def. audio in my laptop. I installed the AzaliaAudio and finally I got sound. It was the only thing that really worked. However, although I have sound on my integrated speakers, I do not hear anything when I plug the headphones. Then there's no sound neither in the integrated nor the headphones. I didn't modify anything of the Azalia kext, maybe I should, but have no idea what to do.

Is there any solution to this? Thankyou

skippyretard Thank you so much for the help! I am running my Packard Bell iPower 9099 with sound!
Config see my sig

ALC883 worked perfectly on my acer aspire 5634wlmi. I installed 3 ports without digital first but sound wasnt good then i installed 3 ports with digital somehow it worked.

i use headphones output and it senses when i plug in a headphone.

i use 10.4.8, 10.4.9 lowers harddisk speed i dont know why.

I have a Toshiba Satellite A205-S4587 with an ALC268 driver
i have no sound. Can someone help me on this problem

THis is the vendor number for it from Windows Vista Premium
HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0268&SUBSYS_1179FF10&REV_1000

Hi,
Sound is working great with the ALC883Audio.pkg, using 6 ports option.
First I tryed with 3, then 3 digital, the 6 digital then 6.
So the installer works great with updating an existing installation, good work!
See my specs in signature.

From where I can get particular number of my ACL880 ? And where should I paste it in Info.plist ?

Please help.

From : jsl

My audio problems are solved now.
1. Remove -x (safe boot) from my com.apple.Boot.plist
2. Using AppleHDA.kext (1.1.0a17) and remove AppleAzaliaAudio.kext
3. Set correct parameters: 0x10ec0880 0x27d88086 in AppleHDA.kext
4. verify it by kextload -t
5. After reboot I can use Mic In and Stereo Out from my ALC880 in laptop Asus A6JC

Another incomplete solution:
1. Remove -x (safe boot) from my com.apple.Boot.plist
2. Using AppleAzaliaAudio.kext(1.0.0d0) and remove AppleHDA.kext
3. Set correct parameters: 0x10ec0880 0x27d88086 in AppleAzaliaAudio.kext
4. verify it by kextload -t
5. After reboot I can get Stereo Out without Mic In from my ALC880 in laptop Asus A6JC

My solution is different from others and I think it's due to my Hac OS is 10.4.6/8.4.1 instead of 10.4.8/8.8.1

========================================================================
can you step by step teach me how to modify. I am newbin in MAC OSX Thanks

tchow

Still no ALC888 on AsRock Conroe945G-DVI

People you save my life!! I´ve been without sound since the installation!!

AzaliaAudio stereo working without audio device recognize, no input, no volumem control (but vol. on menu does appear)
on Cmedia 9880 onboard on MSI915p Neo2 Platinum!!

Sorry about my english and minimal knowledge on programming, i´m only a graphic designer, been trying to put sound to work but terminal kills me, read in this forum that just drop the kext in extensions folder doesn´t work is that right?

if anyone have time, could you explain me how should i do to make osX recognize the card? is that the problem with volume control an mic in?

Thanks for the work done here!!!

Hi,

I've installed ALC883Audio.pkg on Asus P5L-VM 1394 and it works! Thanks!

Martin

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, it worked right away, now I can install my videocard, WiFi card and SoundCard (internall) with installers only. No .kext editing anymore .

-SI-

Hi Ezhoon, I've seen that you have stereo sound with your 10.4.9 and 8.9.1 kernel on P5LD2. Which driver are you using?
The Azalia or AppleHDA?

I can't select 5.1 surround. TTWTT it's in grey

but microphone works

I had follow this method...
what I wrong??

my mobo is 965P-DS3 rev 3.3 and using alc888 and jas 10.4.9

(and now i'm in 3.1 channel speaker - front and center, rear isn't work)

any suggestion??

--------------------------------

EDITED:: or I should patch this kext before update into 10.4.9 ??

anyone know??

Any ideea if apple dvd can be patched to use the agregate device as default out-put ? It will be great, since in that way we all will be able to have 5.1 sound (for those that allready have the agregate device working)

The ALC888 driver doesn't seem to work on the AsRock Conroe945G-DVI motherboard
Please help.

I am using AppleHDA.kext.
Taruga's installer for alc882 worked great!

Thanks for the answer.
If I try to manually kextload the AppleHDA.kext I get something like this:



Did you run into some problem like this???

Asrock Conroe boards are helpless, the only way to get sound i 2ch output/no input azalia. Do yourself a favor and get a usb soundcard. All it seems that neither taruga nor skippyretad are going to support this codec entirely. I'm not blaming them, I'm not saying that their work has no value. I respect them, but let's face it, no one is going to spend more time and effort on ALC888 on ICH7/R because that doesn't worth for them. I'll be very glad if a new dev, that does need that for him/herself does take the will to do it, but probably this won't happen anytime soon. We can only expect that leopard drivers could be someway different to tiger's and open an opportunity.

Hmmm..that's weird..in fact, I didn't have to manually load AppleHDA.kext.
I just installed Taruga's installer package and rebooted, everything worked.

First I also tried Taruga's 0.4b installer. Then rebooted, but I got no sound, not even the volume control icon near the clock.
That was the reason why I tried the manual loading, to see what exactly is happening.

Could be because I've upgraded the 10.4.7 JaS OS X directly to 10.4.9 ???

Most people who have sound on 10.4.9 were upgrading mainly from 10.4.8 because at the beginning of the year, 10.4.8 was the most developed, most stable version. Eventually I'll try getting the latest 4.8, and upgrade that to 4.9, to see what happens.

@Ezhoon: which BIOS version you have for the P5LD2????

I've installed 10.4.8 but I want to use 5.1 sound.. I have gigabyte ds3 and now it function only in 2 channel (green port)

Hmmm..come to think of it, I had to remove both Alcinject.kext and AppleHDA.kext after upgrading to .9
The sound wasn't working right after upgrading to .9 so I had to manually remove both kexts and reinstall them.

So..just try to manually remove both kexts..reboot, and reinstall.

Good luck!!

ps: about that bios version, I believe it's the latest one for P5LD2 (not deluxe one, nor revision -c)

Is someone able to post the INF from Windows? Mobo: ASROCK CONROE 945 DVI, ALC888 - Thanks!

I have gugabyte ds3, with alc888... It is ok but I have 4 line out in sound options. I can hear sound from front speakers or rear or central but separately.. so I tried to make an aggregate device, add the 3 (x2) output but it's still the same, only 2 speakers! I want to use 5.1.. what can I do??

this is a picture for my 5.1 not functioning.. but if I try here the speakers htey are all ok! but if I open some mp3 I have sound only from 2 speakers... uff

another..
