Suzuka Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Anyone have an audio fix for ALC883? EDIT: I fixed it by replacing AppleHDA.kext with the one from 10.6.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FKA Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 You mean a legacy that doesn't need an edited kext? The modified kext works for me (Aspire 5920), but I still need the legacy kext I used in 10.6.2. Argh .. i removed my legacy kext .. i'll put it right back! EDIT - working !! Yes I mean some kind of legacy kext? I guess this isn't possible as it's a bin edit? D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joneslee85 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Your AppleHDA kext seems not working even though the device is listed in System Profiler. Can you tell me step by step how to modify the AppleHDA and what do you mean by 'still need the legacy kext in 10.6.2"? You mean a legacy that doesn't need an edited kext? The modified kext works for me (Aspire 5920), but I still need the legacy kext I used in 10.6.2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryuu123 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 For Atom users, To make patched kernel(only 32bit),just run following two command sudo perl -pi -e 's|\x25\x00\x00\x0f\x00\xc1\xe8\x10\xa2|\x25\x00\x00\x0f\x00\x31\xc0\x90\xa2|g' /mach_kernel sudo perl -pi -e 's|\x25\xf0\x00\x00\x00\xc1\xe8\x04\xa2|\x25\xf0\x00\x00\x00\xb0\x0f\x90\xa2|g' /mach_kernel Before patching, you should backup vanilla kernel.

newnekton1 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 ALC888 no longer works with LegacyHDA after update, you have to edit AppleHDA binary and replace 8508EC10 by 8808EC10. Here is the modified kext http://www.mediafire.com/?kjxxm4whdzu What would you use for the ALC889a? And which file in the AppleHDA binary requires the edit? Thanks.

netgodsrdn2 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 No sound but everything else working - Gigabyte X58UD3R rev 1.0 - i7 920 - Nvidia 9500GT installed with kakewalk originally. * Update * - The modified kext for the 888 fixed the sound. Looks like I'm all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vibrational Mode Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Still quite on the fence about installing this one! Particularly since 10.6.2 seems to be working OK. Just to help me decide, what are the current issues in total? I seem to be seeing complaints of the following: 1 - Sleepenabler causes KP (easy fix - remove Sleepenabler.kext) 2 - USB devices may not work at all anymore, meaning no keyboard/mouse with which to fix the problems. Alternatively, USB devices may not function after waking from sleep. (Related to AppleHPET.kext ?) 3 - Sound may fail with older AppleHDA and/or VooDooHDA kext (fix seems to be an updated AppleHDA.kext) 4 - HDDs may show up as removable media instead of actual hardmounted drives. I've also seen some grumblings about non-specific 'black screen' errors. Is there anything else I should prepare myself for before attempting to patch up to 10.6.3 from 10.6.2? Should I use the combo updater, or system-included software updater? Sorry for all the questions, just not sure what to do. Thanks in advance!

oldnapalm Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 What would you use for the ALC889a?And which file in the AppleHDA binary requires the edit? Thanks. ALC889a users reported it's still working after the update, using the same legacy kext http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=140941 The binary to edit is AppleHDA.kext/Contents/MacOS/AppleHDA but for you I believe it's not necessary.

keypox Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Neither sound nor sleep is working for me.

joneslee85 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I got it working finally. Here is the step: Copy the AppleHDA.kext to /System/Library/Extensions Use Kext Utility to repair permission of /System/Library/Extensions In your Extra/Extensions folder, make sure you still have your LegacyHDA.kext there, do NOT remove it Drag Extra/Extensions to Kext Utility to repair its permission Restart your computer and it works, it took me time to figure out Neither sound nor sleep is working for me.

dky1e Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 forgot to remove sleepEnabler and now it kp'ed. how do i remove the file, safe mode, command prompt equivalent? Installed fine here. Deleted SleepEnabler from 10.6.2 before update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keypox Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 WORKED! I dunno what fixed it. Cause I had an old kext utility, updated it cause it was failing. But figured disk utility repair permissions was enough.... guess not or maybe it was your last step... i never did that before " Drag Extra/Extensions to Kext Utility to repair its permission" Which created a extensions.mkext in my extra folder, do i need that? Never had it before. Oh well im happy to have sound. I can live without sleep, unless it works now too lol thanks! I got it working finally.

Boot your machine with -s Should be in one of the following folders /extra/extensions or /system/library/extensions cd to either folder rm -r sleepenabler.kext Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joneslee85 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Good to hear, by default if you launch kext utility, it will look and fix /System/Library/Extensions and /Extra/Extensions automatically. In some special cases, like you install Extra onto a separate parition, then you still need to drag and drop it ont kext utility. it's highly recommended. WORKED! I dunno what fixed it.
