TheGreatDeceiver Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 I have been trying this for a couple days now. I searched all the sound problem topics here and tried all of them step-by-step. Everything works on my Dell XPS400, but not the sound. I have Sigmatel High Definition Audio onboard. The Device ID is listed as HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_8384&DEV_7680&SUBSYS_102801A7. I also have a Creative Live on a PCI slot. I got it as far as listing me HDAUDIO under output. I can move the sliders but I get no sound. It does not matter where I plug it in, I've tried all in the front and back. I enabled and disabled speedstep - no luck I've replaced the AppleHDA.kext file (with the older one) and tried the AppleAzaliaAudio.kext file - no luck. I probably bang the head against a wall, but before I give up I'd like to hear your input. Any ideas why it's not working ? Is this card simply not supported? thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/12243-dell-xps-400-all-but-sound/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
muyan Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 I have the same problem... If anyone knows how to fix this I'll be forever in debt! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/12243-dell-xps-400-all-but-sound/#findComment-77286 Share on other sites More sharing options...
autologic Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 can you adjust volume slider or not? if so, i fixed mine by going Applications > Audio MIDI Setup and then creating a new device for output.

jrp Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Exact same problem here. I followed the instructions on the wiki for fixing audio problems. I still have no sound though. I can move the slider on the volume control. I can't hear anything though autologic, how did you create a new output device in the Audio MIDI Setup? I can't figure it out.

TheGreatDeceiver Posted March 17, 2006 Author Share Posted March 17, 2006 yep, I can move the slider. I will try your suggestion later autologic, thanks. I added a device, I can pick it but then I cannot move the sliders and it still won't work. I now removed the soundblaster card, thinking that it might cause a conflict - but no go. still trying Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/12243-dell-xps-400-all-but-sound/#findComment-77854 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this card simply not supported? thanks I have been trying to get my XPS 400 to work but I can not get it to recognize my hard drives (it came witha 80gig and I added a 250). What did you do to make your XPS to recognize the drive? any suggestions would help.

Zappadoc Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 same here with my Inspiron 9400, the GUI work with the AppleAzaliaAudio.kext but this extensions use the Realtek ACL8XXX codec and not Sigmatel...so this din't work. The AppleHDA.kext of 10.4.5 load succesfully with this change but no sound: 1- edit the info.plist of AppleHDA driver and change the codec to sigmatel: from 2206496386 > 2206496400 = 0x8384 7690 Edit the info.plist of AppleHDAControler plugin : - change the ESB to : 0x27C48086 - change ICH7 to : 0x27D88086 save, delete Extension.kextcache/Extensions.mKext, REPAIR PERMISSIONS with disk utility and reboot now we have to discover how to "wire" the codec to the right output...

Zappadoc Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 in the info.plist of AppleHDA you have also a realtek ALC882 codec activated : <key>CodecID</key> <integer>283904130</integer> <key>DetectAssistants</key> <array> <dict> <key>SPDIF_In</key> <integer>10</integer> </dict> </array> 283904130 > Vendor ID 10eC Dev ID: 0882 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/12243-dell-xps-400-all-but-sound/#findComment-90049 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappadoc Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 first we need to identify closely our hardware IDs, for me it's: ESB ICH7 8086 27C4 HDA Controler ICH7 8086 27D8 CODEC Sigmatel 8384 7690 Realtek ?? don't really know if I have a realtek or not must check with everest now...

No build-in audio show in system profile no audio device, but I can slide the volume bar. Any pro out there many help us out? Thanks !

xibrix Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Has there been any development on this topic? I have a Dell Precision 380 with ICH7 HiDef Audio Controller (27d8) where the driver loads but doesn't list in the Audio PrefPane.
