ACL883 Driver needed

[MarcoRosso999]

Hi Everyone,

 

I have snow leopard installed with iAtkos S3 v2 on my laptop. As far as I know it is booting into x64 by default, and everything works minus sound and the built in Gig-Eth card. I believe the card is an intel Pro 100/1000.

 

I installed the PS/2 enabler and it made the keyboard and touchpad work . But, this is a total loss for me. I'm new to this whole thing and hope I didn't mess anything up by installing it with all the USB patches that the DVD had.

 

The things I have tried are:

Remove the AppeHDA.kext and replace it with different ones. VoodooHDA fails to open with "registry- cant find path" errors. Also the sound device is not displayed under sound in System Settings.

 

If someone can help me with these issues, and fine final one - no icons are displayed on the desktop when I install and application, or for the filesystems/mounted drives. Is this normal for x64?

 

P.S when I attempt to boot with non-safe boot I get a black screen, and the audio with static from my speakers - is this normal because I don't have the proper Kexts?

 

Best Regards,

MarcoRosso

You need to inject the audio card info since OS X cannot read the ACPI tables correctly. You need to either enable it with a DSDT.aml patch or use HDAEnabler. I have ALC883 as well and can get it to work, although I am having trouble getting it to work correctly.

I would suggest going to www.kexts.com and searching for ALC883 drivers and trying them unless you know how to binary patch AppleHDA and patch your DSDT

Hello,

 

Did you happen to try Lion on your R500 yet? I have my R500 ALC883 working on Snow Leo but I'm having trouble getting it to work on Lion. I have attempted everything I can find for the ALC8xx chips and still nothing in Lion. If you still need working Snow Leo AppleHDA.kext I'll attach it below.

 

Thank you,
