playedalive Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 hi any update on this, i have a auzentech x-plosion which uses the CMI8788 codec. I can also see that it is supported in linux so how would i go about making a dump of the driver for use with the HDaudio patcher? thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/93386-c-media-cmi8788-drivers-for-leopard/#findComment-712282 Share on other sites More sharing options...

slade Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 I don't actually own a CMI8788 based card but am looking to get a Xonar D2 to replace the onboard mobo audio (ALC889a, working) on my Gigabyte X48 board. Has anyone tried the CMI8738 driver, which apparently also works for CMI8768 based sound cards? See the end of this thread for a 10.5 recompiled driver: Cmedia 8738 Even if the driver is partially working (am only looking to use the front channel analog outputs), I would probably spring for the Xonar D2 card. If someone could give it a shot and post back with their results, that would be great.

slade Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 OK, if the 8738 driver recompiled under Leopard does not work, then I guess the next step would be to try a linux codec dump with Taruga's AppleHDA patcher (if someone hasn't already given this a shot yet). CMI8788 cards are now very well supported under linux since the OSS ALSA driver folks started rewriting the drivers for these cards from scratch about 6 months ago. So obviously use the latest ALSA drivers when creating the codec dump.

username Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 So we need to wait for AppleHDA to support CMI or someone to take a crack at porting the latest ALSA CMI over to OSX ? Neither sound like they will happen soon.... We've all been waiting awhile for these, I suppose we can all wait a little longer Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/93386-c-media-cmi8788-drivers-for-leopard/#findComment-797778 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaithis Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 Also might be worth emailing Asus and telling them you are a mac user who thinks that their soundcards are awesome and that they would do well to support them under osx. I sent them as email about it a few months ago, more emails = more chance Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/93386-c-media-cmi8788-drivers-for-leopard/#findComment-862888 Share on other sites More sharing options...
