This one is the optimized warning free version...

It is 32/64 bit optimized for SL.

There are 2 versions present under build...

The first (Release) is using the Voodoo clipping routines.

The second (Release AppleClip) is using the clipping routines from AppleUSBAudio (latest).

If your audio crunches or sometimes doesn't play well use this version (also really recommended for netbooks with atom cpu's like mine).

The helper app and the prefPane are also optimized for SL (64bit version uses 64bit addresses... safer this way...).

New version, new features:

- Supports 384khz bitrate

- Supports 8 + 20 bit audio for Intrinsics (SSE2) clipping version (8 bit SSE2 output only, 8 bit input = scalar)

- Supports 8 + 20 bit audio for Apple clipping version

is it possible we can get a mirror of this? This is something I want to try but rapidshare has been playing the slots full card all day on me.

 

 

After long looong trying finally i get the file..here it is, if you only want to try, without the sources (i can't upload all)

Is there a list of supported hardware? Does it works with ALC888b or AD1988b?

Well, it should work for the same cards as the original VoodooHDA with prefPane.

I tried it on Intel 82801 (ALC272) and it works fine...

i try the snow leo in my acer aspire one a 110 and it work very well.

 

now i use it in my new notebook (no brand) atom280 intel 950 (like acer) but i receive a kernel panic about a unsupported bit rate on latest.

 

i think the codec i alc662

 

so the notebook work perfectly i need only audio ( snow leo install fresh with netbookinstaller 8.4)

 

can you help me?

Andy, please advice where to put files:

voodoohdahelper

libFloatSupport.a

 

Edit: found an answer of yours on another forum

libfloat.a = clipping routines library...

You don't need it unless you want to make some audio converter / recompile the sources...

If you just want to use the pre-built drivers, just use the VoodooHDA.kext from either the build/Release or build/Release AppleClip directories.

Put the voodoohdahelper in /usr/bin and install the prefPane for all users...

 

With your version i get full mic / speaker / hp support

I still get crackling audio after installing voodoohda on my netbook (acer 751h)

Thank You !

 

Edit: Trick by trauma: (on another forum) - fixes (mostly) the problem

Set your SPDIF output to 16 bits 48Khz in audio midi configuration utility. It should do the trick. For some reason VoodooHDA sets SPDIF output to 32 bits 192Khz by default on my codec. SPDIF only supports up to 20 bits standard bit depth, and optionally 24 bits, and a max 96Khz sample frequency.

 

This fixes (mostly) sound in quicklook audio (sound is almost clear, very subtle crackles). In iTunes, crackles are more obvious, but still lot more playable that at first.

 

P.S. thank god for google...

I've installed the kext, the prefpane and voodoohdahelper properly but the kext doesn't load.

 

com.apple.kextd[10]: Can't load /System/Library/Extensions/VoodooHDA.kext - failed to resolve dependencies.

 

That's the error I get. I was using an older version of voodoohda which worked just fine, so I'm not sure which dependencies are missing. The kext won't load in 32 or 64 bit mode. Anyone have any ideas?

 

Vanilla 10.6.3 with and Intel DG33TL mobo that has STAC9271D audio

Did you try the "Release AppleClip" version?

I built it for my laptop (Acer Aspire One D250) and it works great...

Yep, that's the one it makes the crackles less obvious... (also tried the other version for that matter)

As i said, this version makes all outputs/ inputs recognized / working but those damn crackles persist (same issue .. disappear on mouse movement). Can you please advice on what should i change to get rid of this bug ?

 

Thank you once again

 

edit: as of today (5.04) i tried also your latest version (the one from voodoovrojects forum, updated here), but still no luck. Guess i gotta buy a usb sound card. hmm.. i wonder if it's versions specific ... (i have 10.6.0 should i update to .3?)

Try the new version based on Slice's work...

It will work much better (no more slow downs for me at all) and working for all... (thank you Slice)

It has both version (Non-appleclip + AppleClip)

This is weird. I'm only getting the center channel of my 5.1 surround sound.

I am on a asus p6t board.

Yeah... at current VoodooHDA is only designed for stereo output.

If you still have problems with audio try higher birate + bitdepth settings in Audio & Midi Utility

hi andy

 

2 things:

first i have tried yours and problem is mic don t work alc262

AVerMedia Hybrid H/W MPEG Card, M115S (DVBT/NTSC/PAL/SECAM)

 

PCI\VEN_1131&DEV_7133&SUBSYS_E8361461&REV_D1

 

i had kext for 262 and 7664 but nothing for aver media and can't load 262 and 7664 at same time

 

 

i' ve seen there ' s a trick with voodoo prefpane to enable multi sound cards and hdmi sounds but don' t understand how to my try's have just ches because i'm so noob

Dell 1525 user here...every time I attempt to run the voodooHDA I get a kernel crash. Running 10.6.3, everything else is working but audio and microphone (both jacks and internals).

 

There's nothing via searching google, so I'm a lost duck here...

 

**EDIT!**

 

Chad3000 helped me fix my issue. Here's the thread:

quick solution for crackling sound or crackle trough speakers:

 

open Terminal

yes > /dev/null

test sound on iTunes/game/youtube

report!

 

p.d.: don't close terminal!

kind of audiophile here....

using foobar 2k on win 7 with an RME DAC ...fine results

dynamic detecting 16/24 bit up to 192 KHz files

 

my aitkos version of VoodoHDA works with SPDIf out

(thats the only thing I need)

BUT : lets me only choose 16 bit

24 bit doesn`t work and results in silence (32bit as well)

no sample rate detection as well

 

As I have a lot of 24/96 up to 24/ 192 audiophile files on my HD

 

is there a solution ?

 

AppleHDA ?

Sch8mid:

 

Have you tried dsdt patching to layout 66 in the native AppleHDA? It is update proof and still gives digital out in 10.6.4, though I can't speak to the audio specs. Hence my reason for asking; if you try it would you share the results? Here's where to get started, and it's very easy too:

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...p=1230715

 

(Your board does have the 889A chipset, if I'm not mistaken?)

 

Hope we both hear good news.
