I have an Asus Blitz Formula motherboard that I have successfully installed Kalyway 10.5.1 on. The only thing I think I am missing now is sound support. This board has the ADI 1988B sound chip on it.

 

Has anyone tried this out? Where can I get the basic audio support patch from?

 

Thanks!

I've got it working on an Asus Maximus Formula.

 

My card consists of two PCI devices:

 

SupremeFX II - AD1988B Audio

 

Vendor ID: 11d4 (Analog Devices)

Device ID: 198b

 

Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for High Definition Audio

 

Vendor ID: 8086 (Intel)

Device ID: 293e

 

Check to make sure you have the same numbers or use the

ones appropriate for your card. You can see these values using

the Windows Device Damager. (See below) I think the only

one you'll need to worry about is the "Microsoft UAA Bus Driver

for High Definition Audio."

 

I started with this kext:

 

AppleAzaliaAudio.kext - Version 1.0.0

 

If you are running 10.5.2 or later, you may need to regress this kext.

 

Open a Terminal, become superuser and edit (using nano or vi):

 

/System/Library/Extensions/AppleAzaliaAudio.kext/Contents

/PlugIns/AppleAzaliaController.kext/Contents/Info.plist

 

After this element:

 

<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>

 

You will find a <string> element that contains a list of hex values.

 

Add 0x293e8086 to head of the list so it looks like this:

 

<string>0x293e8086 many others... </string>

 

This value can be obtained from Windows XP using the Device Damager.

Look for "Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for High Definition Audio", then

select the "Details" tab. You should check this and use the value

appropriate for your hardware. Windows will display the values as

separate vendor and device ids. Just assemble the hex values so

they look like the one shown above.

 

Note: This is NOT the PCI vendor and device ID for the card itself!

 

Remove or move this kext out of the Extensions folder:

 

AppleHDA.kext

 

After doing these edits, make sure the permissions and ownership are ok:

 

chown -R 0:0 /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAzaliaAudio.kext

chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAzaliaAudio.kext

 

Clear the caches

 

rm /System/Library/Extensions/Extensions.mkext

rm -R /System/Library/Extensions/Caches/

rm -R /System/Library/Caches/

touch /System/Library/Extensions

 

At this point, your audio should be working. In most cases, there

is no need to reboot.

 

Notes:

 

I did not have to modify the Info.plist in AppleAzaliaAudio itself.

That plist only wants to know about the vendor id, which was

already matched.

 

If your audio doesn't work after following the directions above,

check to make sure you have right vendor matching string:

 

Edit:

 

/System/Library/Extensions/AppleAzaliaAudio.kext/Contents/Info.plist

 

Look for this key-value pair:

 

<key>IOHDAudioCodecVendorID</key>

<string>0x10ecffff 0x14f1ffff others...</string>

 

The 0x11d4ffff takes care of all cards made by Analog Devices. If you

don't see that value, add it to the head of the list and repeat the process

of clearing the caches.

 

Good luck!

I'm running an Asus Maximus Formula as well... When I installed Kalyway 10.5.1 i selected the Azilla 1988 option under the sound choices.

 

I have stereo sound out of 2/4 speakers for playback currently. Just a note : In my bios i have HD audio selected instead of the ac97

 

It would be nice to have audio playback out of all 4 speakers of my thx logitech's like i had under winblows but audio quality is not to shabby and can live with the 2 working.

Hi hsparks!

 

Thanks for the Guide, but as am A NooB

 

I'll need a how-to on <Open a Terminal, become superuser and edit (using nano or vi)>

I understand that Superuser refers to the Root user / Sudo command, however what is nano / vi ?

I also am not using Windows, so Cannot check for the value in the Device Manager..

Can I get the same value from the Mac OS itself ?

I have installed it using Leo4All v3 btw..

 

Would you please be kind to help me get the Music Up an Playing ?

 

Thanks

I've been try to help theumang with his audio for several days.

 

He, (and no doubt others) are frustrated that I don't give

key-by-key instructions.

 

It is the case that working with Unix commands has many pitfalls

and it is easy to render your system unbootable if you don't have

some understanding of how these commands work.

 

As a help for him and others who are stuck trying to follow my

instructions, I suggest these tutorials:

 

Unix Tutorial for Beginners:

 

http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/

 

vi In Ten Minutes:

 

http://www.unix-manuals.com/tutorials/vi/vi-in-10-1.html

 

Doing both of these takes a very little time. I believe it will repay

your efforts many times over.

 

Best wishes,

 

hsparks

Check the "AD1988B rev3 Installer" out !

Taruga made it and has full functionality for my ADI 1988B of my asus p5k-e..
