Hi there,

 

I have a serious problem I dont get solved. I am using 10.6.4 so far and everything worked well except for my audio. I used an Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro....but the card broke...sound errors...in Win7 and OSX so I removed the card and wanted to start up the internal audio again.

I used soundflower and AU Lab for a stereo to 5.1 upmix...just for information.

After I have removed the creative card, I had my soundflower devices left in the system settings. After I have removed them (including uninstalling soundflower) I have now no Output nor Input devices.

 

I removed the kxaudio.kext file, and tried every single Solution mentioned here...on how to get the ALC888 working under 10.6.4. The system profiler seems to recognize the Audio Chipset.

I also tried the 10.6.2 Rollback method from tonys Blog ([url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url])

 

I had 3 different States: Intel High Definition Audio :12 / :888 / :0

 

But still no device to choose as Outputdevice.

Maybe someone has a good idea?

 

Ohh my Hardware:

 

Gigabyte GA-P55 UD4

Intel i3 530

NVIDIA GTS 250 (Gainward)

4 GB RAM

 

 

thanks

Rai

Hey, no one got an Idea? =(

 

I have solved the first problem on my own....simple bought a "new" audigy 2 zs....

 

But anyone has a Hint on how to get the onboard working again? I would need the input.

Cool. You know how to use -> !

Thats really awesome. Why are you so angry? If you would read my first post you would see I USED google. I tried 4 Methods. (3 before my second request in this thread and yesterday the 4th )

 

I only get different states but no jack recognised. After the try yesterday I have state :888 back again.

 

I deleted HDAEnabler.kext, VoodooHDA.kext AppleHDA.kext

 

I deleted everything what was "old" I did that every single try, to have with every try the same starting situation. I tried several kext´s and nothing worked.

I am not that firm with coding or something like that. I can follow instructions...yes...I have technical basic knowledge...yes, but now I am finished with my knowledge. Thats why I asked. Trust me, I am not one of that guys who ask every {censored} without even trying something on my own.

I got my system all set up on my own. Tried some kexts and looked for workarounds. I even got my 5.1 upmix without bothering someone else.

But now it would be great to get some help from someone who knows a bit more than me about that topic. Thats why I have written down my system components here. Maybe I need some patches according to my hardware, but I havent found something that sounds good.

 

So please, if you want to help, I am glad you tried...if you want to flame....go tell it to the paw

Just a small sample of the many threads regarding problems with alc888 !

 

I presume you've read all these threads (and the others I've missed out) and have posted your question on them before starting yet another thread regarding the same problem?

 

Kind Regards

:P

Hi,

 

I tried most of these solutions:

 

luciano_frc - didnt work

Elad Nava - didnt work

kitmac - I didnt see that one, will have a look at that today. Thank you =)

rstt - Outdated (?) From 2008 (no SL..as I said, I dont have that much know how..so I thought it might be outdated)

atlee - I´d love to keep my System vanilla, so patching DSDT would be a minor try in last instance

guaterickie - same like rstt

 

 

The reason why I started a new thread...well, in most PC support forums I was around the older threads werent looked at. I want to apologize if presuming it for this forum was not correct.

Thanks for that another link, will try that today evening. I also tried some findings from toms hackintosh blog.

 

Thank you,

 

Rai =)
