I have a Acer 5601AWLMi LAPTOP with a Realtek ALC883 HD sound. On a fresh 10.4.6 installation, I tried Rammjet's patch to make it work, but I modified it to reflect my VEN and DEV ids. From XP, this is what I have:

 

Realtek High Definition Audio

VEN 10EC

DEV 0883

Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for High Definition Audio

VEN 8086

DEV 27D8

 

These are the instructions that I followed:

 

Edit AppleAzaliaAudio.kext:

 

* In Terminal, type: sudo pico /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAzaliaAudio.kext/Contents/Info.plist

* Search for (use hotkey= ctrl + w):

<key>IOHDAudioCodecVendorID</key>

* change the string to:

<string>0x10ec0883</string>

* Exit pico

* sudo pico /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAzaliaAudio.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleAzaliaController.kext/Contents/Info.plist

* Search for (use hotkey= ctrl + w):

<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>

* change the string to:

<string>0x27d88086</string>

* Exit pico

 

 

 

After reboot, I have volume control, and System Preferences says that I have "HD Audio Output" (no input). But THERE'S NO SOUND, from neither the built-in speakers nor the jacks. What's more, iTunes plays my mp3's and it's visualizer even works to the music!!! :censored2: Both speakers and jacks work great in Windows. WTF???

 

Any ideas???

are you sure you did these steps cause my audio works but doesn't show up as HD Audio Output...

 

1. Delete AppleHDA.kext:

 

* In Terminal, type: sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext

* sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions.mkext

* sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache

 

 

by the way at the end of all that make sure you repair permissions!

I'm also having problems, I followed the instructions on this page and it worked great after first restart. Sound was from speakers. After another restart, no sound from speakers, but I'm getting sound from the headphone jack and the volume controls on my laptop actually control the volume through the jack.

 

I would really love to know how to get sound back out through my speakers and have the volume controls work for them as well.

I'm having the exact same situation. I can SEE the audio controls. I can SEE in the sound prefs that it says "HD AUDIO" as the output device, but NO AUDIO out of any jack inlcluding the laptop speakers.

 

Someone pleeeeeeeeeeease please please look into this!

Hello, i have got TravelMate 3012WTMI the same chip, the same problem, at6 the start of my fights with it there was no audio device, or audio device only shown afther booting to windows and back to osx, right now i have made newazalia and intelhdaudio and the audio device is shown every boot stright to the osx. i think that i know what the problem is connected with. in my opinion sound is sent to another output. i'm not familiar with drivers developing, but as far as i know something about audio, there is a place where the outputs are specyfied, and there is a solution to check what is the pin number of the proper output, when you know what is it thenyou can remap output to the proper pin, there is some software to check input/output sockets activity, but i do not remember the name. right now i'm using external usb soundcard SB audigy NX :),

 

if i'll find some more i'll post it here.

 

cheers
