voodohda, efi strings, or tarugas patch....???

voodoo seems to work nicely until you put the machine to sleep.
Sound distortion upon wake .....

Tarugas patch gives me a KP as soon it patches applehda.kext

Not too familiar with the efi string method for sound.....

I have the same motherboard, EP35-DS3L.
To be honest, ALCxxx sound quality sucks, even after patching (DSDT, taruga, etc...)

I'm searching for an USB sound adapter / alternative.

a good sounding USB dongle that is cheap


that said, I have found that it sometimes has issues with Mic input, but I think thats a bad mic not the dongle.

Good luck and happy listening

I'm using DSDT for Audio / GFX / Lan - Audio works with VoodooHDA.  But sleep is still a problem.  It sleeps fine, but when it wakes up, it freaks out and gives me the ole' beach ball of death.

thats weird.....
R u using the 64bit sleepenabler..... It works for me in my extras folder
Does your sound come back fine or do you get the distortion........?

I attached two kext  'AppleHDA.kext' and 'HDAEnabler.kext' for leopard. I like them better than DSDT and VoodooHDA!
If someone port the "AppleHDA.kext" for SL 64bit.. I would be very grateful!

- Altough the sound quality is not as good as DSDT, the output volume is much higher.
- Completly noise-free.

lol, this is my patched applehda, i can recognize it because of the codecverb, and some ".other" little things  

if this one work for you in 32bit, u can use vanilla snow leopard applehda , and my legacy kext, with dsdt or the kabyl HDAenabler for 64bit

here is my dsdt HDEF section:

Yea it works for me too but do you get sound distotion after you wake the computer?

[johan]

i don't wake .. reboot always

[zoltankr]

cparm method works great! I don't really like the number of kexts (3 is too much in my opinion) but works great!

I took your advice... got the same exact dongle.... problem solved!!!!!

For the EP45-DS3L I swear by DSDT (Koalala's ACPI Patcher - Selecting Realtek ALC888-0, and checking HDEF box) then adding one of these attached LegacyHDA's, from tmongkol's thread, in to /E/E.  Easy as that

All you guys have 5.1 sound?

Can't seem to get a straight answer anywhere as to whether it supports 5.1 or not lol

I haven't got any audio hardware near my hack to test that.

[dabla]

I've done the DSDT patch with audio, network and graphics (last 2 work perfectly) for my EP35-DS4, which has a Realtek ALC889A chipset.  I've tried with all possible HDAEnabler's ect without luck, also with the 3 kext's from cparm's package mentioned above without luck.  The only way I'm able to get sound is via ALCinject.kext located under /S/L/E (with -x32).  I thought the DSDT patch just made injetors unnecessary?  What am I doing wrong?

[derpuma]

@dabla

I can confirm your exp. I have had the same problems. dsdt without probs - no legacy kexts work!
Only ALCInject worked... for me too.

[dabla]

Hi derpuma, actually i can change volume of my different outputs via ALCinject but I can't get/hear any sound... so I'm still messing around...

[zoltankr]

dabla, the DSDT is for ALC888
