Need Help Testing ALC883 Realtek HDA on ASUS C90S

[Kantaro]

Checking taruga's wiki, I noticed that the C90S must not have been tested very recently, as it lists only the first version of 1.20 and no sound from any output. I'll be the first to admit that that C90 isn't the prevalent a system ATM, but I've been using one as my primary system of late and I'd very much like to volunteer to test it.

 

As for Leopard, I've got a working iATKOS v4i install running near-flawless on a second partition, save for the fact that I've got sound on speaker only, no mic/headphone support, and a misrepresented battery. However, the wiki entry currently states that the enabler currently supports no sound whatsoever, whereas my system at least partially supports the HDA module.

 

My question is this. What exactly do I need to do to test the HDA enabler as it stands now? I've tried the available ALC883 and Realtek kexts that exist at insanelymac, and none of them has changed the situation for the better. Any help is greatly appreciated, and I am ready and willing to test whatever needs be tested.

i also encountered this problem. searched the whole internet. already lost hope to listen to music in my favorite headphones... and then accidentally found this driver: VoodooHDA

i have the ASUS C90S with a Realtek ALC883 and Kalyway 10.5.2.

with this driver I have a working headphone output and built-in speakers.

good luck (:
