Run installer.

 

Go to Terminal:

 

cd /			 <=== "cd" followed by a space followed by a slash (/)
ls sig*

Verify that it finds a file called "sigmatelpatch.sh"

 

sudo sh sigmatelpatch.sh xx yy   <=== use your values for xx yy
								   for sigmatel 7681 => xx=76, yy=81

 

rammjet you are the most helpful person on these forums btw

 

 

but when im changing directory where do i want to be changing it to?

because im still getting the not found thing after running the installer

 

thanks again

cd / - changes to root directory, the top directory of the hard drive. That is where the "AppleHDA_v0.2a.mpkg" installer places the "sigmatelpatch.sh"

 

ls sig* - this should have returned "sigmatelpatch.sh" as I said to verify. If it did not, then there is no "sigmatelpatch.sh" to be run. Either because the "AppleHDA_v0.2a.mpkg" installer failed to install it, you failed to run "AppleHDA_v0.2a.mpkg" or you downloaded a different package entirely.

 

If all went well, we have moved to the root directory (/) where "sigmatelpatch.sh" is located and by running "sudo sh sigmatelpatch.sh xx yy" we tell "sh" to run "signatelpatch.sh" which should be in this directory if it was verified by performing the "ls sig*".

awesome thanks for the help rammjet. i realied i had the wrong package.

 

but how can i completely uninstall the 0.4b package this way there are no bits of it left to conflict

 

 

once again thanks rammjet

I have an Intel 975XBX2 with a Sigmatel 9227 (I believe).

 

Vendor ID 8384 Device ID 7621 / Sub 8086 0419

 

I've tried applying these patches, including infusing the AppleHDA v0.2a with 76 21 to patch, but still no go.

 

Anyone have any suggestions for how to get "any" kind of sound...wrong port, 2-channel, anything, out of this card?

 

I am desperate for sound out ;)

 

Thanks!

My "dirty sound" problem was fixed by AppleAzalia installer.

Sadly, I lost the line-in, but I've gained a sound clean enough for my not-dirt-cheap headphones.

 

If it's somehow possible to defeat the "audio feedback" bug, I'll be happy to revert to AppleHDA.

AppleHDA.kext works for most (I think all, but I am not sure) Intel HighDefinition AudioCodecs. Sigmatel is not a problem, but PinConfigs are.

 

The problems are:

 

-Nearly each Mainboard / Laptop has other PinConfigs

 

-ONE SINGLE MISTAKE in PinConfig causes AppleHDA.kext not to load correctly, therefore, if you have for example LineOut and Mic detected, and add SPDIF and use wrong Settings for it, you will get nothing detected on next reboot.

 

-I tried to get AppleHDA working on 3 laptops now, and I can tell that it is hard, but even harder if you don't have the laptop / mainboard yourself. Remote debugging is always harder and our (mine and especially Tarugas) spare-time is limited.

I wonder.. a lot of alc88x Realtek users have luck ... but so far no sigmatel .. from what I have read on the forum ... so, can we still hope for a succes ?

 

Yes you can hope for it !

I´ve been working in the last weeks in the Ultimate Patch Solution for both Realtek and Sigmatel, some sigmatel are already 'sounding' B)

But I will take a couple of weeks more to finish, test and review this program.

 

Some preview of whats coming...

hmm.. I have a feeling the ALC882 AppleHDA v0.4b.mpkg installer is not working at all for me.

 

If I am understanding Rammjets info correctly, after running the installer I should be able to verify the existence of the sigmatelpatch.sh file using these instructions:

 

Run installer.

 

Go to Terminal:

 

CODE

cd / <=== "cd" followed by a space followed by a slash (/)

ls sig*

 

Verify that it finds a file called "sigmatelpatch.sh"

 

CODE

sudo sh sigmatelpatch.sh xx yy <=== use your values for xx yy

for sigmatel 7681 => xx=76, yy=81

however all I get is this...

 

Welcome to Darwin!

homesnakes-computer:~ homesnake$ cd /

homesnakes-computer:/ homesnake$ ls sig*

ls: sig*: No such file or directory

homesnakes-computer:/ homesnake$

 

as well, shouldn't I be able to see the sigmatel.sh file if I make invisible files visible (via tinkertool or other)? here's my root drive after running the installer...

maybe I should try running the installer as root? If that doesn't work could I install all the components manually (ie extract the files out of the installer and drop them in?) I've used pacifist before but maybe the installer does a bunch of other stuff that I won't be able to do easily.

 

Also is there a way to see a log of what happened during the install?

 

thanks again Rammjet for your clear explanations.

 

PS I've installed the latest Semthex kernel, fixed permissions, restarted, removed Azalia, etc.

 

I know Taruga/Maxx are working on a new one for Sigmatel - but I'm still curious as to what's going on with this installer :)

::sigh::

 

The ALC882 package is entirely different from the AppleHDA_v0.2a.mpkg package.

 

The ALC882 has no Sigmatel patcher because it isn't for Sigmatel. In fact, it is hardwired for Realtek. There is no patcher to run after installation.

 

Just double-click the ALC882 installer and reboot. It will have installed two files you need. No other configuration is necessary. It works great with my ALC882 system.

:star_smile: OOOkaaay I get it now... :thumbsup_anim:

 

ran the AppleHDA v0.2a.mpkg, no sound. patched using 76, 80, still no go.

 

guess I'll wait for the new one.

 

thanks many times over Rammjet, if nothing else I've learned alot just reading your mini tutorials you've got everywhere.

 

:)

Installed AppleHDA ALC888 drivers yesterday, but couldn't get sound working (tried all jacks), although the volume controls are no longer grayed out in the control panel and menubar. Nothing shows in the audio properties of the system profiler.

 

Setup:

10.4.8 Jas, kernel 8.8.1 running on AsRock Conroe945GDvi (Core2Duo 6300).

 

Anyone else here has AppleHDA drivers working with this board?

I've gone through this entire thread more than once (yes, all 28 pages!) and the conclusion I am coming to is that there is not currently any support for a realtek alc 861, and the only option there is appleazilla?

 

Just looking for confirmation that I'm getting this right?

Yes you can hope for it !

Wow..Taruga..that is just AWEsome! ;):thumbsup_anim:

You are handing out some great holiday gifts to a lot of people :P

 

Btw, does ALC260 have any chance too? :rolleyes:
