leslieking Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I have the same motherboard, EP35-DS3L. To be honest, ALCxxx sound quality sucks, even after patching (DSDT, taruga, etc...) I'm searching for an USB sound adapter / alternative.

kramer2k Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I'm using DSDT for Audio / GFX / Lan - Audio works with VoodooHDA. But sleep is still a problem. It sleeps fine, but when it wakes up, it freaks out and gives me the ole' beach ball of death.

leslieking Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I attached two kext 'AppleHDA.kext' and 'HDAEnabler.kext' for leopard. I like them better than DSDT and VoodooHDA! If someone port the "AppleHDA.kext" for SL 64bit.. I would be very grateful! - Altough the sound quality is not as good as DSDT, the output volume is much higher. - Completly noise-free. kextsleo32.zip Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/181509-what-method-works-best-for-alc888-sound/#findComment-1234851 Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackosx Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 For the EP45-DS3L I swear by DSDT (Koalala's ACPI Patcher - Selecting Realtek ALC888-0, and checking HDEF box) then adding one of these attached LegacyHDA's, from tmongkol's thread, in to /E/E.

dabla Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I've done the DSDT patch with audio, network and graphics (last 2 work perfectly) for my EP35-DS4, which has a Realtek ALC889A chipset. I've tried with all possible HDAEnabler's ect without luck, also with the 3 kext's from cparm's package mentioned above without luck. The only way I'm able to get sound is via ALCinject.kext located under /S/L/E (with -x32). I thought the DSDT patch just made injetors unnecessary? What am I doing wrong?
