dexthageek Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Yea I booted back into Windows. My device ID is 10ec My Vendor ID is 0880 Continuing to follow the guide would effectively make my Codec String: 0x10ec0880 and my Controller String: 0x088010ec however, no sound was produced.

Rammjet Posted September 3, 2006 Author Share Posted September 3, 2006 Yea I booted back into Windows. My device ID is 10ec My Vendor ID is 0880 Continuing to follow the guide would effectively make my Codec String: 0x10ec0880 and my Controller String: 0x088010ec No. The Appendix has 2 steps: A. and B. You have to look up vendor/device id's in TWO places in Windows. Step A. will produce the vendor id = 10ec (Realtek) and the device id = 0880 for your Codec. Step B. will produce a different set of vendor/device id's - the ones for your Controller. I'm not saying this will guarantee working sound, but at least you will be trying with the correct device identifiers from your own motherboard, rather than guessing or trying device identifiers from other people's motherboards.

coat Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 I was Just wondering if any one else has notice that this section is ignored: <key>Realtek ALC880/ALC860 Codec Driver</key> <dict> blah... </dict> This mean that changing 0x10ec0880 (in my case 0x10ec0882) to match your card doesn't matter. In fact I have deleted this section of the code out and it still works with Audio Output only. It is loading the Azalia Generic Codec Driver. I comfirm this using ioreg -l. This is probably why we only get Audio Out. <key>Azalia Generic Codec Driver</key> <dict> blah... </dict> Making any changes to this part of the code will cause no sound after reboot. So, the only change required is to change AppleAzaliaController info.plist match your contoller DeviceID and VenderID: <key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key> <string>0x27d88086</string> I bring this up to hopefully help get the Audio working more fully. Maybe someone else can take it a bit further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rammjet Posted September 3, 2006 Author Share Posted September 3, 2006 Added the string 0x26688086 to my Controller .kext rebooted still no sound. You can't just reboot. You need to delete the files in Step 1 (2 of them get regenerated when you reboot - they need to be deleted for the change to take effect). And perform Step 3 and 4 again.

I know all about deleting the kext cache files. So that is not the issue, I just didnt add every step in my last email. If the kext cache files are still there it will not check for changes in the kext packages. The sound just has a mind of its own on this machine, it worked for 2 days on a fresh install without any changes then one day just disappeared, I have been unable to get it back since.

dexthageek Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Good News!!! I was just playing around with the AppleAC97Audio.kext I added my id strings to the ICH6 section loaded the kext and BAM I have sound. After a reboot sound is still there. Hopefully it will stick around this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rene204 Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Hm, i think about that, since my Mainboard tells my, my Sounddevice is Azalia/AC97.... Did you have the Control with the AppleHDA.kext too? Means: Sound driver with the AC97.kext and Control of Input/Output/SpDif via AppleHDA.kext?

f007 Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 In my experience, this either means you entered one of the strings in the wrong format or you altered the plist in some other way - added spaces, or a return character or changed the indenting. For ALC880, the first string is probably "0x10ec0880" and the 2nd string is most likely of the form "0xZZZZ8086" where ZZZZ are 4 characters similar to (but may be different than) "27d8". If you used strings that are not like these, then review how you arrived at those strings. Remember, the 2nd string is backwards from first string. The first string is "0x" followed by (vendor id) followed by (device id). The second string is "0x" followed by (device id) followed by (vendor id). Go back into the files and verify that things look right. Indenting is consistent, nothing seems to be out of place, no extra spaces, no extra characters. Good luck! Hi Ramjet. Thx for all your help and advice! I did a clean install of 10.4.7 and it worked!!! Again thanks!!! Now to get Input working! I hope someone figure it out!

uidetiger Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 I have a Realtek ACL850 on my board. It is partly recognized. Sound output works and input is available but the input isn't routed to the output. Output works as I can hear system sounds and music, etc. I can see the input on the graph when attaching a piano or a microphone. I tried to use the aggregate function for audio devices in the Audio Midi Setup (Utiliities) but no result. The System Profiler says under Hardware -> Audio (Built In): No Built-in Audio. I'm running 10.4.7 but the same happenes on my 10.4.3 system. My hardware specs: Asrock P4-Dual-915GL Everything else works fine and smoothly.

macus Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Thanks Rammjet, This is actually quite a good guide. I was able to successfully get my sound working on my Asus A8N32-MVP Delux Board AMD Chip Set. Its about the only thing i have managed to get workin yet.... Its my Video i have problems with. I'm not very confident at all with Mac's but i have to start using them due to my course at college. So this is a start. I'm running AMD X2 4800 Tolendo Core S939 A8N32-MVP Deluxe MB - (ALC882 Built onboard *Workin now*) 2 GB Corsair XMS Xpert (Dual Channel) Power Color X1900 XTX 512 (can't get fully running yet) Thanks again i hope i can get my video running as easy as that.

codec Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 THNX !!! Working with my ALC882 on Asus P5LD2 Bios ver. 1207 Latency is very low !!! This chip works better (faster - for music production) under OSX than WinXP with original driver - how it's possible? WinXP latency - 150 ms, OSX latency 7 ms !!!
