After update Audio Pro Update 1.0 (Feb 2010) my system don't find any audio device in my audio system prefs. although my system profiler keep showing my sound card with all its components. I,m sure that it's about the AppleHDA.kext in L/S/E, because this update install two kext in that folder (IOPlattformPluginFamily.kext -nothing wrong to it- and the new version of the HDA (8. ...I don't know what) instead the vers. 7.9.a4, with which everytingh worked fine for me. In fact, the solution for audio is to replace it the new AppleHDA by the old kext, but, of course, the "Your software is up to date" message disappears from software update windows, it tell you must update Audio Pro 1.0 again. Anybody the same? Let's fix this, right?

Hi, I have the same problem. I'm using P6T Deluxe. can you tell me where to find the old kext so i can get my audio working again?

 

thanks

I installed the same update and borked my sound. After a bit of head scratching I worked out the solution though. Download the 10.6.2 combo update and use Pacifist to extract AppleHDA.kext and IOPlatformPluginFamily.kext (may only need the first actually but these are the two files changed in the Pro Update). Copy them to your /System/Library/Extensions folder, overwriting the other files there. Then run Kext Utility to get everything matching up and reboot.

 

Chances are this is going to cause issues when 10.6.3 comes out though because I'm guessing that 10.6.3 will include these updated audio drivers so we'll have to wait until the cleverer hackintosh people work out how to fix it long term for us! ;)

Here's the AppleHDA 7.9.a4 (the old in 6.2 after update audio) and the others kexts you need for the full working card AD2000B in P6T DeLuxe

Kext.zip

 

EDIT: sorry, I mean "before" update. The old kext in 6.2 "before" update.

Just wanted to chime in and say I had the same problem. Seems like more people might run into this once 10.6.3 comes out, since I believe this "Mac Pro Audio Update" only affects people with MacPro4,1.

 

Those of us who use MacPro4,1 are affected now by this update and lot of people will be affected when 10.6.3 is realeased, since this update updates the AppleHDA binary and the only option is to binary hack it, people whose codec ids match Apple ones wont be affected. Credits go to the king for this information.

I attempted to hack the AppleHDA binary as per The King's advice, but I couldn't get it working. Hopefully there will be more info once 10.6.3 comes out.

This is an example. I hope it will help you get an idea. Also, I see your signature that your GA has ALC889, not ALC889a.

Example_for_ALC889.zip This is from MacProAudioUpdate.dmg.

After update from SoftwareUpdate to 10.6.3, kernel panic will appear caused by old (or new if the update install its own, I have not stopped myself to see this...) SleepEnabler, and solved replacing it by this new one (doing kextcache from -s and so...). No audio, of course. But the solution is easy, although provisional. Rename the new AppleHDA.kext from 10.6.3 into "AppleHDA.kext.bak" with Terminal:

 

sudo mv /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext/ /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext.bak/

Then install the old 10.6.2 AppleHDA, use it kext utility, repair permissions, and so, and restart.

Everything works again, and software update shows that cool message that it says "up to date" ;)
