smjork Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I hate to say it but i'm confused. I have an ASUS P5WD2 Premium. It also uses ALC882. I have a HDD with Leo4All 10.5.2 and on that HDD I easily made the card work using HDAPatcher. And i did this quite a long time ago. Now I have Snow Leopard, installed on a different HDD. I used the retail 6.3.0 DVD and NAWCOM ModCD to install. From the very start I had VoodooHDA with the following: OUTPUT: - Some device named "Complex output" ... I can hear sound but there's no volume control whatsoever - Headphones (Green front) ... I can hear the sound, I can adjust the volume allright INPUT: - Microphone (pink rear) ... actually I don't think its working. Not 100% sure because I use a special model of HAMA speakers. They have Mic and Headphones connectors on the front so whenever i need headphones or mic, I just use those connectors. I have no need to use the computer case front mic/headphones connectors. - Microphone (pink front) ... doesn't work. No volume adjuster, no nothing. In short: REAR Connectors : I have sound but no volume adjustment AND NO MIC FRONT Connectors: I have sound + volume adjustment BUT STILL NO MIC ... and I repeat, this comes with the VoodooHDA. Now, about the AppleHDA and HDAEnabler ... here comes the weird part: - As root, I moved the VoodooHDA.kext to some backup location - As root I copied the AppleHDA.kext directory to /System/Library/Extensions (and I ran a chmod -R root:wheel AppleHDA.kext/ ) - As root I also copied the HDAEnabler directory to /Extra/Extensions (and ran a chmod -R root:wheel HDAEnabler.kext/ ) Then I just rebooted and typed in the "-f" boot argument, to make sure it will rebuild the mkext ... and bad surprise ... The Preferences -> Sound Control panel was absolutely empty, as if the newly added kexts were ignored or non existent. Of course I moved back the VoodooHDA.kext, rebooted, fixed the cache with "-f" and stuff But this doesn't mean I give up. No, I still want to make this work. I'm just confused and don't know what I did wrong. So if anyone has any idea... i'll be glad to hear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuSTRaRe Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Now, about the AppleHDA and HDAEnabler ... here comes the weird part:- As root, I moved the VoodooHDA.kext to some backup location - As root I copied the AppleHDA.kext directory to /System/Library/Extensions (and I ran a chmod -R root:wheel AppleHDA.kext/ ) - As root I also copied the HDAEnabler directory to /Extra/Extensions (and ran a chmod -R root:wheel HDAEnabler.kext/ ) Then I just rebooted and typed in the "-f" boot argument, to make sure it will rebuild the mkext Maybe you need to rebuild or remove the Extensions.mkext from your Extra directory. I use KextUtilty when moving kexts. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=140647 Drag your /Extra/Extensions directory over the app icon.
