Is there any way to get an ADI1988A sound board working? i have bee searching for about and hour now and can not find a definitive answer.

P.S. VenID 8086 DevID 27d8

While reading the Intel manual for the Motherboard (D946GZIS) it says:

Analog Devices ADI1988A (or Sigmatel STAC9227) audio codec.

Does this help in any way of me getting sound?

1. Try AppleAzaliaAudio.kext, but you can get only stereo OUT worked.

Is without problems work with 10.5.5 update... But Stereo OUT only... No Line IN or no Mic inputs.
Sorry, but i`m don`t have now this kext.

1. You can search on forum "AppleAzaliaAudio.kext"
2. You can wait some time (i`m on work now, not in home) - and i`m send you the file as attachment.

... If you find it on internet or on the forum, do next:

1. remove /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext
2. install AppleAzaliaAudio.kext
3. repair disk permissions.
4. reboot.

i think, this must work.

if you want some more than "Stereo OUT" - you need follow some guides

Hi Guys,

once more thanx to ReLoad for this excellent solution. It works on the Asus P5B motherboards with the ADI1988A audio chips .

So here it is...

1. Delete AppleHDA.kext:
sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext
2. Edit AppleAzaliaAudio.kext for matching codec's proper ID:
sudo vi /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAzaliaAudio.kext/Contents/Info.plist
in Realtek ALC880/ALC860 Codec Driver key
change the string to:
<string>0x11d41988</string>
3. Edit AppleAzaliaController.kext for matching ICH8 HDA interface proper ID:
sudo vi /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAzaliaAudio.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleAzaliaController.kext/Contents/Info.plist
Search for (use hotkey= ctrl + w):
<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>
change the string to:
<string>0x284b8086</string>
4. Refresh kext caches
sudo rm /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache
kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions/
5. reboot

i`m understand about 10.5.5, i`m have Leopard 10.5.5 also. And my motherboard is Asus P5B with AD1988 (also known as ADI1988A). just one digit in device ID is differ from AD1988B.

And it work with Azalia Audio.

"Tiger" post instructions contain some hints about Info.plist editing.
