VoodooHDA 3.1.2

[galisrule]

Does optical work with voodoo hda?

 

[Max.1974]

Hi @galisrule would explain in details ? Optical you mean ? 

 

All my devices, included HDMI digital output, microphone, HyperX usb mic, 5.1, Lenovo with Broadcom Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (with OCLP). It's completely for me.

It's the latest version I'm using. Only difference is I updated Sequoia. Here's the getdump report. Audio is S1220A

I will check your codec dump my friend, and i forgot said that is important remove AudioDXE.efi from drivers folder. 
Are you compile VoodooHDA or device properties and number of device ID correctly? Have more them one ID codec layout to test?

And finally maybe its important try using Clover 

 

If you can, try run this new script: 

 

Double click on Hackintosh and Beyond executable and watch small video tutorial inside

Hi @Slice 

Quick inquiry...

Selected output is not saving on restart. Output selected is Internal Speaker, but when i restart, it goes back to headphones.

Is this vodoohda or nvram issue?

 

Solved!

sudo chown -R _coreaudiod:admin /Library/Preferences/Audio

Thank you @LockDown I appreciated your post, because we learn together every day. 

 

I need fix that issue on my laptop with VoodooHDA, but not work to me, I need some configuration add?

 

I fix that using Amoeba SounSorce app from but is not freeware. 

 

Another alternative is use Home Brew with some commands.

Hi @Max.1974 

I did nothing special about it. I just deleted & created /Library/Preferences/Audio and set permissions to chown -R _coreaudiod:admin /Library/Preferences/Audio

[Max.1974]

Thanks a lot @LockDown I have no idea why this doesn't work with me.

I'm using last Ventura build.

Yes, I see the problem 

 Tracing pin 20 with min nid 0
   nid 12 busy by association 0
 Unable to trace pin 20 seq 0 with min nid 0
Association 1 (2) trace failed

One minute.....

 

Make the follow: VoodooHDA.kext/Contents/Info.plist

			<key>NodesToPatch</key>
			<array>
				<dict>
				<key>Codec</key>
				<integer>0</integer>
				<key>Node</key>
				<integer>27</integer>
				<key>Config</key>
				<string>0x0221403f</string>
				</dict>

This way you will have Line-Out (rear green) and Speaker/Headphone as one output switchable by jack.

Or 0x02214050 to have separate Speaker and Headphone.

Hi @Slice

Is there a way to remove mic from showing in system sound preference?

Yes, there is a way to disable undesired node. Show me your latest getdump.

And what you want to disable.

Hi @Slice

Sorry for the delay. It was just a spur of the moment when i tried to do it. It was a laptop that is no longer with me.

Thanks for the offer to assist me. Much appreciated🙂

Would it be possible/realistic to compile VoodooHDA for Apple silicon processors? I'm trying to make work a USB DAC that has no drivers in Sonoma. Has anyone seen anything like this?

Edited January 13, 2025 by ronalith

USB doesn't use HDA so VoodooHDA wouldn't be applicable.

 

Why would a USB DAC use a proprietary interface instead of standard USB audio? Do you know what the proprietary interface is?

It's a Roland Mobile UA. Model UA-M10.

No. VoodooHDA is applicable only for PCI devices, not USB. But I also not sure if it can be ported to Apple silicon hardware at all.

[Max.1974]

@ronalith many guys was reported that some USB DACS is working with M4.

VoodooHDA 3.0.2 is working well for me in macOS Tahoe Beta 2.  My VoodooHDA installation is documented here.  

 

The following items may be of interest to those who have installed VoodooHDA before and/or have read other recommended installation methods in this thread:

• I find that VoodooHDA.kext installs in /Library/Extensions and is loaded by macOS Tahoe with csr-active-config = <03080000> (Open Core config.plist).  With Open Core, I am not finding that I need to disable SIP more than this. Note: csr-active-config = <03000000> also allows installation of VoodooHDA.kext.
• VoodooHDA works for me without installing VoodooHDA.kext in my OC EFI.  I only need to install VoodooHDA.kext in macOS Tahoe's /Library/Extensions
• macOS Tahoe's AppleGFXHDA interferes with VoodooHDA.  I am using AppleALC.kext as an AppleGFXHDA 'blocker' (much like AppleHDADisabler).  Read my comments here to learn more.  This unconventional use of AppleALC with VoodooHDA is working well for me in Tahoe and minimized the changes I needed to make to my OC EFI that multi-boots Big Sur through Tahoe.  AppleALC renames HDAS -> HDEF, but doesn't bind to HDAS/HDEF because macOS Tahoe Beta 2 is missing AppleHDA.

 

 

 

Thank you, @Slice , for maintaining VoodooHDA and continuing to give us this option.

 

 

EDIT: For those who wish to employ more restrictive SIP settings when using VoodooHDA.kext, this may be of interest.

@deeveedee and with this, HDMI audio works?

[deeveedee]

@LockDown I don't use HDMI audio.  My displays are connected via DP -> DVI adapters.  It would be great if someone else tested my posted solution.

Hi my friend, HDMI audio I think works without any kexts. Just need patch device properties. 

Hi @deeveedee are you try use SSDT patcher for Audio device? 

 

 

Spoiler

 

 

Works like a charm and complemented audio quality for AppleALC or VoodooHDA just for complement, ok? Need remove plist device properties from ALC audio device. 

[deeveedee]

@Max.1974 I didn't need to add any patches (SSDT or otherwise) to my hack.  I only needed to partially disable SIP (for VoodooHDA installation and loading in Tahoe) and copy VoodooHDA.kext to /LIbrary/Extensions.  Doesn't get much simpler than that.

 

I offer my solution only to give others possible steps for their own hacks.  I'm sure there will be other approaches.
