ameris_cyning Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Howdy guys! Just curious if anyone remembers who the original author of AppleAzaliaAudio.kext is. It would be nice to see if we can convince said author to make it Open Source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beta992 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Why would you like to use it? With AppleHDA working for almost every device and VoodooHDA as open-source, what brings AppleAzaliaAudio other than the others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex009988 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 For example, for my old hp VoodooHDA And AppleHDA are useless, helps only such drivers. Although with them the sound is not good. Too many interactions. I tried VoodooHDA on AC97 and got a kernel panic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nostalgia is prob the biggest motivator for me here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the only driver that works with Conexant chip in the notebook I have (output only though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meklort Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 To answer your question... Apple wrote it and included it in the developer transition kit (I believe). I doubt you'll be able to get Apple to open source the kext. Do note that while the kext is closed source, it is very possible to extent it (as with all c++ / IOKit kexts). This has been done in the past (for example: the dell mini 9) to add custom verb commands to toggle between the headphones + speakers when headphones were attached). This doesn't really help with enabling line in... but it does get more functional playback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
