maniac19 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Hi folks! I am trying to make my audio based on Realtek ALC260 working. BTW my computer is Sony Vaio S-460. It is based on i915PM with ICH6. I tried a lot of things from this forum and nothing helped. With AppleAzalia sound works but only on embedded speakers, headphones are not working. With AppleHDA nothing works. It loads and shows volume icon, but when I try to change volume it disappears. No audio outputs and inputs in AudioMIDI setup. Does anybody happened to make their ALC260 working? Thanks, Alex.

autoy Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 You have just the same problem as everyone else running azalia kext. You are lucky even to get sound on the laptop speakers. I'm trying to find a fix for this and have understood why we only get 1 stereo output, but not yet found a way for azalia to use IOHDAudioFamily.kext, which would give it full features. I might even start another thread about Azalia or AppleHDA kext fixing so others can join and help.

mcdull Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 I think it is the problem that the Linein and Lineout is a second tier device on the sound board. In XP they were shown up as different devices (for input and output) And one of the main features for the ALC sound board is that the jacks are multi-purpose. The driver could assign the role for every jack and therefore their roles are not hard mapped. But we really want to get it work.. or else our laptop would have to attach.. 1. USB Sound Card 2. USB Wireless LAN 3. USB BlueTooth (my notebook hasn't built in) every time we use it. (To get as close as to a MAC) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/12052-problem-with-sound-alc260/#findComment-75840 Share on other sites More sharing options...
autoy Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 No, actually you only have 1 stereo out because IOHDAudioFamily is failing to load and instead it's using a generic audio device with IOAudioFamily, which is providing basic functionalities (probably is not able to successfully probe for in/outs in an HD chip). If you look in the main azalia plist you will see it will try to call IOHDAudioFamily or IOAudioFamily if it's not possible. All we would have to do is sucessfully link AzaliaAudio with IOHDAudioFamily and we would get all we need.

The question is how it could be done. Tried yesterday a lot of things but still no success with that.
