dabla, the DSDT is for ALC888

I have generated a DSDT for the ALC889A, so I don't understand what you mean?

[dabla]

For those having sound issues with ALC889A on Gigabyte boards, tapper00 found a dsdt solution without extra kext:

I dont know will works for you...
Here is my edited applehda snow leopard x64 for alc888
works best to me in Gigabyte P31-ds3l
 AppleHDA.kext.zip   1.05MB   1301 downloads

I'm ordered the SYBA USB Adapter (aka. Delock in Europe).

USA: http://www.newegg.co...N82E16812186046
Europe: http://www.delock.de...r_71_61645.html

UPDATE
The USB Adapter works like a charm: http://twitpic.com/fyg8x / http://twitpic.com/fyga3
If you don't have 10USD to buy this adapter, you don't need a hackintosh   Go and use Windows  

[nate911]

jinnggoff & cparm - both of your kexts work well, but dies after reboot.

Any ideas would be appeciated -thanks!

Hey, wondering if anyone can help me out here. I have a GA-EX58-UD3R (Gigabyte) which as far as I believe uses the ALC888 codec (ICH10R chipset) and so far none of the kexts available from this thread have worked, that is, unless I've installed them to the wrong place... I'm using 32-bit Snow Leopard.

Where should the kexts be installed to? I assume they should all go to S/L/E, but then again I'm not entirely sure. I have also tried VoodooHDA.kext which doesn't work correctly for my board - so that option is ruled out.

I had a perfectly working set of kexts when I was running 10.5.8 so I'm quite annoyed that they haven't continued to work, but I thought I would upload them for anyone that's really eager to lend a hand in figuring this out.

https://dl.getdropbo...audio_kexts.zip

The above download is not Snow Leopard related, so please don't download for that reason!

I have looked into patching AppleHDA.kext for SL and patching DSDT (as cparm's post details) which I am way too much of a novice for.

If anyone could offer any help/guidance at all and I would be infinitely greatful. I could especially use some advice from people with the same board!

Thanks in advance!

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

I would use cparm's files and the code he posted to patch your dsdt.aml file.  If you need help patching let me know I can point you in the right direction.  I did not use VoodooHDA and working with vanilla AppleHDA.kext

Put these in your S/L/E folder and rebuild your kextcache with Kext Utility.

• LegacyAppleHDAHardwareConfigDriver.kext
  
• LegacyHDAController.kext
  
• LegacyHDAPlatformDriver.kext
  
• LegacyHDA.kext (not sure about this one)

Good Luck!

here's from my dsdt:

			Device (AZAL)
			{
				Name (_ADR, 0x001B0000)
				Method (_PRW, 0, NotSerialized)
				{
					Return (Package (0x02)
					{
						0x05,

				}
			}

			Name (BUFA, ResourceTemplate ()
			{
				IRQ (Level, ActiveLow, Shared, )
					{3,4,5,6,7,9,10,11,12,14,15}
			})
			Name (BUFB, ResourceTemplate ()
			{
				IRQ (Level, ActiveLow, Shared, )
					{}
			})
			CreateWordField (BUFB, One, IRQV)

anyone who can help me how to proceed?

i'm using jinnggoff's patched applehda matched w/ the hdaenabler. sounds work better than voodoohda where audio is already shown as built-in and it doesn't get distorted after waking up from sleep. mic-in still won't work though.

@jinnggoff

do u have ur mic-in working?

[HaX0r Jim Duggan]

I don't even have the AZAL section in my DSDT.. no idea what to do. Anyone know about this?

[undo_undo]

How does this dongle work?  Is it Plug and Play?  Does it require any kexts?  Does it work on SL 64bit?

Thanks

Oops -- Sorry cparm -- I made a mistake.  My audio works after adding the Legacy kexts to S/L/E.  However, I can't help but notice that the sound is very harsh, kind of like it is being overdriven.  Any ideas?


Thanks in advance!

Hey, I've just tried patching my DSDT using iaslMe but it's giving me errors. I did exactly what was said (search for AZAL, replace etc.) and added in the Device (HDEF) section... Here's the log.

you forgot to add Method DTGP
just add under HDEF, for example,

   Method (DTGP, 5, NotSerialized)

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.....

Here is what I found and use and there is no the crisp sound at the beginning
