wind99 Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I already try the kext from this forum. (and already googling). I have the device in system profiler. but when i click the preferences, they don't show up any input or output device for the sound. What should i do? there is another kext that i must install. I'm running snow leopard 10.6.1 with mobdin kernel . Phenom 9650 | Gigabyte GA-MA78S2H | thanks before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey M Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I'm having problems too. I've tried everything... I can't get the device to show up at all though. Can anyone please help? ): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I have the same chipset in 3 different gigabyte motherboards and they don't seem to want to work right. I'm using a GA-MA790FX-UD5P, GA-MA790FX-DS5, and GA-MA78GPM-DS2H. All of them are AMD boards and all have the same problems. If you use the latest VoodooHDA from this topic http://www.projectosx.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=355, you'll get sound, but it's very "stuttery" and only when set to 16 bit 44.1kHz. I have fully working sound in Leopard, just not Snow Leopard. It seems to be an AMD chipset problem and not an ALC889 problem, so don't think advice from anyone with an intel chipset will help.

Casey M Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Yeah, I have perfect sound in Leopard. I don't understand why it wouldn't work. It's not like they changed that much in snow leopard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ihatelife Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 i have exactly the same prop flawless in leopard not so in snow leopard voodoohda works but the sound is extremely jittery but all inputs are recognized it is so frustrating hope this is bieng worked on i to think this is a amd chipset specific proplem it may be a amd proc proplem when i boot leopard without the bus ratio =15 flag the same happens extremely jittery audio or maybe its a buffer prop i have got a feeling that when on the fly cpuid patching is been used on a amd kernal this prop will solve itself sorry forgot to mention all outputs are working also with voodoohda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mightycrown Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Guys I m on the same boat. It is definitely caused by the chipset. under leopard it works flawless. i have alc888 with ati sb600 chipset, the ID is 1002 4383. However Voodoo did not work for me ! Probabaly gonna head to basement dig my old usb sound card . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Jay_ Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 I read it's not the chipset. Apple decided to cut support for these chips. There is apparently a hack but it has to do with editing your dsdt.aml or something and I'm not familiar with doing that. I'm lucky to even have SL on my setup because of the way my leopard was setup and didn't have a DL dvd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mightycrown Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 appearently ye! We are out of luck with sound. I m not gonna bother to dig in no more. But people do say they have succeed via VOODOOHDA, but i never got it working thought. I can see different output in Sound- system setting. But there is no sound comming out what so ever, There is no speaker in MINI utility either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aristotelisk Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Hello, I 've tried the VoodooHDA 2.6.2 from this forum: http://www.projectosx.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=355 (the experimental one) I have a Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-UD2H motherboard connected to an A/V receiver by the optical output (optical SPDIF). I've tried previous versions but I had jittery sound. With this one the sound is clear and 5.1 is working fine. (Tested with Plex). It worked with 10.6 SnowLeo and 10.6.3 update. I haven't tested analog inputs/outputs. Give it a try and post the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Knight Posted June 2, 2010 Share Posted June 2, 2010 How did you get encoded 5.1 out of the SPDIF? I tried it and it only gives me the options for PCM stereo. Usually if it allows AC3 passthrough, it has an option called encoded out in the Audio MIDI setup tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually if it allows AC3 passthrough, it has an option called encoded out in the Audio MIDI setup tool. I tested it with an .mkv file and Plex. There is an option in Plex. Go to Preferences-system-Audio-Digital output support >force digital. "Dolby Digital (AC3) capable receiver" and "DTS capable receiver" must be selected. Audio Midi setup gives me two channels. Sound is clear with 48000Hz and 2-16bit stereo. It is also clear at 96000Hz. I think that there is a similar option in VLC.I haven't tried it.

Black Knight Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 the voodoohda gave me KP on my AMD/ATI SB750 (ALC-888 @ 0x43831002) It looks like you are using version 0.2.43 of VoodooHDA. We're using the experimental build of 0.2.62 which should work. You need to download the correct version. You should also remove the old version in S/L/E before copying the new one there and repairing permissions. Then, on reboot, use the boot flag of -f to rebuild the kextcache and you should be good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
