xXPaBlOkIlLeRXx Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Hi! At the first sorry for my bad english, im from Brazil and i doesn´t studied english. I have a Acer Aspire 5737z bought in Portugal at 2009. i decide to try to intall the Snow Leopard, and after some try and fails, i got it! I read some posts about that notebook, speaking about the kexts for wlan and others, but the only kexts that i need is for the audio. The graphics card is enabled by NVEnabler, the battery metter is enabled by VoodooBattery, and the lan/wlan cards is natively enabled. The problem is on the sound. I tried all the kexts on the topic for thar pc, and on VoodooHDA i have fully noised sound. With AppleHDA the sound card isn´t recognized. Anyone know one kext that works on that sound card? NVIDIA MCP79 ALC888. Thanks and i hope you understand what i say! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerkex'd Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 The MacBookPro5,3 has the Nvidia MCP79 chipset but it uses ALC662. Actually several Macbooks and iMacs use the MCP79 chipset, but I don't know if any of them has ALC888 sound. It looks like they all have some ALCxxx model though. If you scroll down to the end, three different MacBookPro's are listed with the same chipset as your laptop: http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Apple_Macbook_Pro/lspci Maybe a simple hex edit in AppleHDA is enough to get sound working? Look here: http://www.projectosx.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=465 Page 2-3 has some info on how to do that.. a bit vague but maybe it's enough to put you on the path.. Also, google "AppleHDA hex edit" (no quotes) but set your google language preferences to English first, google in PT-BR usually sucks for this kind of thing. Boa sorte.

I tryed everything and applehda cant load, showing thar message: This is the same AppleHDA that in this topic said that makes the sound crystal clear...
