.... I probably look like this emoticon by now, have been at this for 'days' ......

Cannot get ANY audio to work on Nvidia 730i nForce Motherboard OSX86 iPC PPF5 10.5.6

Would love some help ?

BTW... All of the contributors: Thanks for this distribution, I had spent weeks without success with many other distros, until the PPF5 version came out. Thanks pcwiz and all involved in past work.

Trying to get Audio working ... Have spent probably 50 hours over the last week plus, trying everything I have been able to find on web forums, patching, reinstalling full system, entering my device Id / manufacturer ID in some of the kexts and/or files suggested. see below.

Nvidia 730i nForce Motherboard (Realtek Drivers for WinXP and WinVista both work great on separate hard disk installs)

Onboard Audio
Azalia High-Definition audio
Supports 8-channel audio
Supports S/PDIF output
Supports Jack-Sensing function


Vendor ID 10de
Device 0ac0 MCP79
Class ID 0403

address I have tried (see below) 0x10de0ac0

also have tried (reversed ?) 0x0ac010de (my mistake I think..)


This is a relatively new motherboard (to my knowledge on market since october 08 only, even has HDMI and both optical as well as coaxial SPDIF rear outputs, as above list)

OSX86 Beta Final iPCOSX86 DVD patched thru PPF5 *(see below for my installation settings and choices)

Have installed this distro NUMEROUS times, all installs successful -- never get audio, never get Audio Output and Input settings to show a 'device' present in System Profiler.

In each of the installations have tried 'single' Audio Chipset, including Azalia, and most other ALxxx variations, ADxxx and AppleHDA versions, even legacy versions.

On some installs (I think Azalia or ALC888 variants) system profiler shows an Intel HD Audio and a decimal or hex listing etc. but no audio, nor device showing in the Sound settins Output-Input panels

On a couple of installs, I chose NO AUDIO chipset, and tried patching the Linux dump (see below pasted at bottom or in other post in this forum with dump attached) then rebooting. no luck

Have tried entering the Hex id's for my 'multimedia device' (based on screen during bootup process
in text mode for Manufacturer ID and Device ID (editing the plist files in azalia and azalia controller with vendorID + subsystem pci match and following instructions etc.)

using different methods on web (Taruga, AppleHDA, etc.)

Have tried Linux Dump of the Audio Onboard Device (see pasted below) ... which is detected as AL888 on Linux LIVECD using Sabayon latest version of latter (HOWEVER even in the Linux bootup, do not get audio working,??? it is ALC888 dump) ..Wonder why? Even Linux distro must not be detecting correctly, I guess.

Have taken the Linux dump and used the AppleHDAPatcher utility inside of my OSX86 installation, 'straight' as dumped, drag-drop onto patcher, reboot system, no audio working. The installer dir report success and detected SPDIF etc. output etc.

Have tried editing the linux dump, and changing the 'id hex code' for address to the one my system reports, will not patch. says invalid ID or something like that

Have tried manual edits methods based on Taruga, changing the plist addresses from the defaults based on Azalia same as above reported by my system, no luck

Have audio working on this motherboard in separate hard disk installations of Windows XP Pro 64 Bit, as well as Windows Vista Ultimate 64 Bit Perfectly. The windows drivers for HD are Realtek HD Audio drivers provided with the MOBO or downloaded from Nforce site.

The device ID's reported by windows (both versions ..) are the same I listed above (from bootup devices screen id's etc. )

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

INSTALLATION SETTINGS AND CHOICES Used for IPC OSX86 PPF5

BIOS SATA TO AHCI

have disabled onboard Video GPU (nVIDIA 9300) since using Nvidia Nforce 8500GT PciEx video
card although will install even if not disabled, and System profiler reports both video 'cards' ...

-v cpus=1 required for installation to take place

choose default install pack ... vanilla kernel default, no othe kernel chosen

choose nvidia inject 2.1.0 1 GB Vram inject (for 8500GT card)

chipset jMicron IDE ATA chosen

audio ONBOARD AUDIO ( in BIOS settings have tried INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL AUDIO CODECS SELECTED

Versus

ONLY EXTERNAL AUDIO CODEC SELECTED ... INSTALLS FINE either way BUT NO AUDIO)

as noted above, have tried just about every KEXT for audio listed (only one at a time) with multiple clean
reinstallations ... no luck


Choose fixes ACPI
CPUS=1
-v VERBOSE fix

choose SMB APPLE 800 (although will work with or without this chosen, have tried multiple times, no difference)



install all programs on distro except AMD specific ones



Reboot, and on first start use -v -f as per directions from pcwiz information

Thanks for the very complete post. Here's one idea straight off the bat. If sound is not working in Linux, there is not much point in using that codec dump with Taruga (it is patching the same nodes used by linux). I have had some problems with linux codec dumps and finally succeeded with the Mandriva Live CD which has the latest ALSA drivers. If you can get sound working with Mandriva, redo a linux dump and see if you can manually patch AppleHDA using those values and Munky's or TheKing's tutes.

Success ! ! ! !

Audio now working .... 2 channel using Azalia audio ...

see post in the blog site below ...

Thanks to all who have worked on solutions

google Warp's Logbook or warp101.blogspot or hot-to-get-azalia-hd-audio-working for my post and very helpful blog site for other helpful suggestions and information

Congratulations!

What you think if you add your long dumps as attachement in text file or another option is add it inside codebox? Codebox is very useful as its keeps post short and add scrollable box with your code or dump and so on. Its just hard to scroll those long dumps!

Otherwise, good to hear about your success!

Hello winktinkler

i have the same chipset than you but an msi one. Well, i followed your indications to install mac that i found in your blog, and everything works great including the audio.
BUT (i hate to say it) i can´t boot without the cpus=1 flag, when i go into system profiler an also cpu-x it shows 1 core and 4 threads (i have Intel core 2 quad 9550), i tried override the DSDT removing the aliases and patching it all, but i still with the problem. i know you have a quad core too, then i ask you if you can use your 4 cores? cpu-x tells you 4 cores? did you do something that helped you to use all your cores?
im a kind of desperate heheh

Thnaks in advance!!
