f1torrent Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Hello. I have got everyhting working fine on my osx86 mac. The sound however does not work. I have used the "linux codec" and the HDApatcher to install the alc885 codec and it says everything is fine and to re-boot. But nothing changes. No device present in the system manager. I figure it may be the device id? Where can i find my device ID? Or if it is not this what could it be? Im stuck with no sould so that means Linux/Windows only no MAC DFI uses a seperate card not a chip on the motheboard, could this have something to do with it? Thanx for any help with this. BTW I am good with linux so if its technical I will be able to keep up..

f1torrent Posted June 22, 2008 Author Share Posted June 22, 2008 Iv read that people have got this setup to work, someone must know how to get the sound working?

CapitalC Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 I've made this work with DFI LT X38. Card is just for ports, audio chip is on the MB. Device ID - 0885 Vendor ID - 10EC Port names are labeled strangely in Sound Prefs, but basic audio out works - analog and digital. Didn't need Linux, used XP to get the above info.

Dark Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Try the codec dump I have attached plus HDAPatcher 1.17. So far it seems to be working for me.
