Blackice Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Hi guys! well I just install ed 10.4.5 on my Vaio FE11S, and I'm perfectly happy, except for the fact that Audio doesn't work. In my laptop, I have a SigmaTel High Definition Audio card (DEV: 7441, VEN: 8384). Under System Profile, it shows the audio as "Intel High Definition Audio", but doesn't show anything else Anyway, I've seen some problems coming with the 945 chipset, but I don't think that applies to my card. I forced the AC97 driver to load for my card, and the "High Definition Audio" device comes up under sound properties, but, since this isn't AC97 (I don't think), it isn't working. I didn't get anything recognised at all under 10.4.3, so the fact that system profile shows that there is something there is a huge step forward for me! Anyway, if anyone has any ideas/suggestions/confirmed fixes, or has the same problem, post it Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/11202-sigmatel-high-definition-audio-intel-945-chipset/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaiOSX Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 These are the Apple's original Intel High Definition Audio Device and vendor IDs. DEV:7680 VEN:8384 (same as your audio card) Follow this link http://forum.osx86project.org/index.php?showtopic=2243 (Search is a great tool ) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/11202-sigmatel-high-definition-audio-intel-945-chipset/#findComment-70067 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackice Posted March 6, 2006 Author Share Posted March 6, 2006 OK, I got rid of the AC97 thing (that was just a bit stupid). Anyway, I've found out that the thing I need is the "Azalia" stuff (oh, btw, this is a Centrino Duo notebook, if that helps) Anyway, my machine behaves oddly with HDAudio and Azalia (from system Profiler): AppleAzaliaAudio ============ Dependencies: Incomplete com.apple.iokit.IOAudioFamily: No valid version of this dependency found com.apple.iokit.IOHDAudioFamily: No valid version of this dependency found AppleAzaliaController ============ Dependencies: Incomplete com.apple.iokit.IOHDAudioFamily: No valid version of this dependency found AppleIOHDAController ============ Dependencies: Incomplete com.apple.iokit.IOHDAFamily: No valid version of this dependency found IOHDAFamily ============ Dependencies: Satisfied IOHDAudioFamily ============ Dependencies: Satisfied That might look like a lot, but it's all the info I thought might be relevant. So, IOHDA stuff is loaded and happy, but Azalia says it's not valid or something. VaiOSX, that thing just broke my OSX installation. I applied a package (since all the links are dead), and the HDD kexts don't work with 4.5...

VaiOSX Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 You must use the 10.4.5 kext, and follow the same procedure. Open the AppleHDA.kext/Contents/Plugins/AppleHDAController.kext/Contents/Info.plist <key>IOClass</key><string>AppleHDAController</string> <key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key> <string>0x27D88086</string> <key>IOProviderClass</key> <string>IOPCIDevice</string> <key>IOClass</key> <string>AppleHDAController</string> <key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key> <string>0x269A8086</string> <key>IOProviderClass</key> <string>IOPCIDevice</string> You must enter equivalent Vendor and product ID but according to your hardware. 27d8 is for 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller 269a is for Enterprise Southbridge High Definition Audio Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/11202-sigmatel-high-definition-audio-intel-945-chipset/#findComment-70103 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackice Posted March 6, 2006 Author Share Posted March 6, 2006 Thanks VaiOSX, but that doesn't seem to apply to 10.4.5. This is my info.plist (without any modifications or whatever): <key>IOClass</key> <string>AppleHDAController</string> <key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key> <string>0x27D88086</string> <key>IOProviderClass</key> <string>IOPCIDevice</string> As you can see, it's like that already. My Bus is the 27D8 type (since i'm not enterprise ) I do get this error at startup though (copied from system log): Mar 6 22:24:00 localhost kernel[0]: AppleHDA.kext failed to load: unable to locate 'layout-id' property. I'm constantly amazed how helpful this community is, even to OSX starters like me Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/11202-sigmatel-high-definition-audio-intel-945-chipset/#findComment-70140 Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaiOSX Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Is 27D8 really your Bus type or what you just read in the info.plist ? Can you post a link to download your ioreg results ? The command line in the terminal is : ioreg -l > /blackice-ioreg.txt Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/11202-sigmatel-high-definition-audio-intel-945-chipset/#findComment-70154 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackice Posted March 6, 2006 Author Share Posted March 6, 2006 27D8 is my Bus type (or at least, that's what Windows XP device manager told me) ioreg: http://rapidshare.de/files/14869905/ioreg.txt.html Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/11202-sigmatel-high-definition-audio-intel-945-chipset/#findComment-70162 Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaiOSX Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 OK, i found what's wrong. can you give me all the audio codec IDs you can find (everest report in windows or equivalent, not OS X 10.4.5 report). It seams that the AppleHDA.kext/Contents/Info.plist doesn't have your codec referenced. So the audio driver gets loaded but can't ouput sounds. EDIT : ok i finally found it. Your codec decimal number is 2206495809 It does not exist in the AppleHDA.kext/Contents/Info.plist If you take a look you'll see very similar number (2206496384 MBP or 2206496386 iMac Core duo) Try to replace those numbers with your codec number 2206495809 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/11202-sigmatel-high-definition-audio-intel-945-chipset/#findComment-70192 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackice Posted March 6, 2006 Author Share Posted March 6, 2006 ok, just replaced it. Rebooting now EDIT: well, thanks A LOT for all the time you've spent helping me with this. Unfortunatley, the problem is still there. AppleHDA.kext still fails to load at boot (missing 'layout-id' property), and this is what I get with System Profiler: AppleHDA: Version: 1.1.2 Last Modified: 1/4/06 3:40 AM Get Info String: 1.1.2a29, Copyright Apple Computer, Inc. 2005 Location: /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext kext Version: 1.1.2a29 Load Address: 0x2b029000 Valid: Yes Authentic: Yes Dependencies: Incomplete Dependency Errors: com.apple.iokit.IOAudioFamily: No valid version of this dependency can be found com.apple.iokit.IOHDAFamily: No valid version of this dependency can be found Integrity: Kext is modified AppleHDAController: Version: 1.1.2 Last Modified: 1/4/06 3:40 AM Get Info String: 1.1.2a29, Copyright Apple Computer, Inc. 2005 Location: /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleHDAController.kext kext Version: 1.1.2a29 Load Address: 0x2afb2000 Valid: Yes Authentic: Yes Dependencies: Incomplete Dependency Errors: com.apple.iokit.IOHDAFamily: No valid version of this dependency can be found Integrity: Kext is modified Again, thanks a lot for all you've done.

VaiOSX Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 The missing 'layout-id' property error is caused by a missing declared codec. Can you post on rapidshare you info.plist (from AppleHDA.kext)? I'll tell you if it is correct. The problem is coming from it.

Blackice Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 OK, well the problems are still there after replacing all the CodecIDs. After following your instructions EgoDeath (I can't access win2osx for some reason. on any PC in my LAN), I get it sort of working. It shows up on the taskbar, and in sound properties, and even my little control buttons work! The only problem is that nothing actually works. I don't actually get any sound coming out. Here are some more snippets from System Profiler: AppleAzaliaAudio: Version: 1.0.0 Last Modified: 11/3/05 7:19 AM Get Info String: 1.0.0, Copyright Apple Computer, Inc. 2005 Location: /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAzaliaAudio.kext kext Version: 1.0.0d1 Load Address: 0x2985f000 Valid: Yes Authentic: Yes Dependencies: Incomplete Dependency Errors: com.apple.iokit.IOAudioFamily: No valid version of this dependency can be found com.apple.iokit.IOHDAudioFamily: No valid version of this dependency can be found Integrity: Kext has no receipt AppleAzaliaController: Version: 1.0.0 Last Modified: 11/3/05 7:19 AM Get Info String: 1.0.0, Copyright Apple Computer, Inc. 2005 Location: /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAzaliaAudio.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleAzaliaController.kext kext Version: 1.0.0d1 Load Address: 0x23a5a000 Valid: Yes Authentic: Yes Dependencies: Incomplete Dependency Errors: com.apple.iokit.IOHDAudioFamily: No valid version of this dependency can be found Integrity: Kext has no receipt Here is my info.plist: http://rapidshare.de/files/14878641/Info.plist.html Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/11202-sigmatel-high-definition-audio-intel-945-chipset/#findComment-70278 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackice Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 Oh, here's an update: using the 10.4.3 stuff EgoDeath linked to, I don't get the AppleHDA.kext failure on boot (but I don't get actual sound then, either). If I put the original AppleHDA (from 10.4.5) back in there, the failure comes back. I'm also sort of concerned that it reckons IOAudioFamily.kext isn't good (maybe that's why I don't get any actual audio, but that's the same for both AppleAzaliaAudio kexts). I'm not really sure what else to do...

VaiOSX Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 We are very near the success : Can you try with this codec 2206496768 ? Same search for 220649 string in AppleHDA.kext/Contents/Info.plist After this modification and restart, can you post (rapidshare) your new ioreg result ? I'd like to compare something.

VaiOSX Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Also, IOAudioFamily does not show up in System Profiler. When I try and load it, it tells me it's already loaded, but it still doesn't show up. The best way to really know if your kexts are loaded is to use kextstat in the terminal : kextstat | grep IO You can replace IO by any strings (e.g if you type ATI it will shows all the loaded kexts with the name starting with ATI) Don't forget that it's case sensitive.
