GeForce 8800 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Hi everyone, I recently installed Snow Leopard on my system. The install went fine but there is one problem, audio. (I use Chameleon RC1 and PC_EFI 10.1 together with fakesmc.kext, openHaltRestart.kext and ApplePIIXATA.kext. Also a modified boot.plist (EFI string for graphics)) Motherboard specs: Intel X48 - ICH9R ASUS BIOS 0410 Marvell Yukon 88E8056 (Ethernet - works with modified IONetworkFamily.kext for Snow) Analog Devices AD1988 - My sound setup: Logitech X-540 (5.1 surround set) connected with 3.5mm plug (you know green and green, black and black, orange and orange) (analog connection (for clarity)) So what did I tried so far: Using voodooHDA - No change at all!!! (still nothing in preferences (he doesn't recongnise any audio device)) Using modified DSDT.aml with AD1988.fix.kext - No change at all!!! (source for the fix: This and This ) I also tried something with "Archivo" (or something like that) - No change at all!!! I can't boot in 32 bit for some odd reason but Snow runs very stable in 64 bit. The only issue is the sound. I also have a Leopard 10.5.6 installation, sound works great there with the AD1988b_rev3_installer (doesn't work under Snow) So if anyone knows a solution please let me know, it's the little step for a perfect Mac Machine.

Grtz Hi, can you upload the boot CD who you use to install SL? I have a Asus Formula Rampage too and this boot CD will help me a lot! Thanks!!

GeForce 8800 Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 I use a USB with stuff that I mentioned above. You can find a guide in this forum for installing Snow Leopard with a USB. It's really not that hard: -Format your USB (HFS+), Mac Journaled or something -Install Chameleon on it (choose version that you want to use) -Format your HHD (where you are going to install SL) in 2 partitions (one for Snow Leopard itself and one for the Snow Leopard installation (restore the retail SL DVD to that partition)) -then boot up with the correct .kext's in your extra/extensions folder on your USB (Boot the installer first off course) -Install Snow Leopard -Reboot in your partition where you installed Snow Leopard You need the search a bit the find the correct .kext's but you'll be up in no-time. The only problem remains the sound. If anyone knows a solution please let me know! Any help is much appreciated!!! Grtz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamikaze Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 hi, I have a Asus P5B which has a AD1988. It works "ok" with voodooHDA 0.2.2 in 32/64 mode "ok" meaning that I get sound, volume control.. but also a lot of statics when no music is played. thinking about getting a cheap USB sound adapter... Note that using Azalia sound output was working fine under leopard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeForce 8800 Posted September 18, 2009 Author Share Posted September 18, 2009 At least you are getting sound!!! I don't have anything, no single beeb or whatever and like I said sound is working perfectly for me too under Leopard. Is there any new version of voodooHDA that will come out (which include support for the AD1988()? Grtz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
