AppleHDA Solution - Work in progress

========================

Step #1 - Find out EXACTLY what audio codec (chip) is on your motherboard

You **might** be able to take someone else's word on this simply by reading the posts in this thread **BUT** as we all know motherboards change from time to time (even if it's the same model number) and it's QUITE POSSIBLE that the audio codec from XYZ Mobo rev. 1 could be different from XYZ Mobo rev. 2. A good example of this seems to be the 'Bad Axe 2' mobo from Intel... It seems some have the (SigmaTel) STAC9274D while others are reporting that they seem to have the STAC9227.

Okay so how do you find out for sure....

Boot into Linux (use a livecd if need be - I'm pretty sure the livecd contains asound) and look under /proc/asound you should find a file called codec#0 or perhaps codec#1 - in short its a text file that starts out with

Codec: YOUR_AUDIO_CODEC_IS_HERE

Address: ADDRESS

Vendor Id: YOUR_VENDOR_ID_IS_HERE

Subsystem Id: ETC_ETC_ETC

(plus lots more IMPORTANT stuff - but I shortened it for this post)

(you will need the ENTIRE file - not just the lines I showed above)

That's YOUR SPECIFIC/EXACT codec dump.

Copy that file to a thumb drive or email it to yourself - in short you need that file when you boot back into Mac OS X.

Note: Yea that's a big first step but don't worry it's really really easy from here on out

Step #2 - Download the latest patcher (found in POST #1 of this thread - at present we are up to v1.15)

Step #3 - Drag-n-Drop that file (obtained in step #1) on to the program you just downloaded (from step #2)

That's it... there ain't no more...

Now 1 of 2 things will happen....

1 - Audio will work - now you can bask in audio-heaven but REMEMBER to come back here and say thanks to Taruga and perhaps donate a few bucks to one of the many worthy causes to keep projects like this going...

2 - Audio doesn't work.... Here is where you can help...

If audio doesn't work... Come back to this thread and post the following....

1 - The CODEC#0 file you were using.

2 - Any message returned from the AppleHDAPatcher application

P.S. If you are having trouble it's IMPERATIVE that you OBTAIN YOUR OWN codec#0 file from linux!!!! If you can't or won't do that then getting any additional help is very difficult and/or IMPOSSIBLE!

Hope this helps!

hi,

can i use this method for my 'conroe 945G onboard-sound' (ALC888 7.1 Chanel-CODEC) ? i try out this, but the files (codec#0 etc.) in my linux (kubuntu 6.10) and on the live-cd's (knoppix and kubuntu) are empty. so i have try the realy linux method: code for the konsole: sudo cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#0

mosimage,

I spotted this a few pages ago... So it seems like things are being investigated but as you've just found out v1.15 doesn't have any fix in place yet....

QUOTE from caracols @ Feb 21 2007, 01:05 PM:

- Hey Taruga, how's the development of ALC888+ICH7 (Asrock Conroe MOBO) going on? Any news on it? Could it be finally possible?

REPLY from taruga

- Been looking at asm of applehda and there are some calls that are not suported on some codecs, but I have a lot to look for and compare too. I have to look for another (working alc888) from other vendor to compare amps and mutes

Hope this helps...

Dave

P.S. I just found something that's really cool (and very helpful) - at the bottom of each page (when reading a message thread) you'll see a search box and when in that search box it ONLY searches the thread you are reading and then ONLY displays the messages (from the thread) that contain a match... This feature comes in really really handy when we've got a thread as along and this...

Hi everyboy, i have a realtek alc260, does anybody knows how can i make my 10.4.8 (Jas Os) sound work??, i have downloaded the AppleHDAPatcher, but i really don't know what linux codec dump means. Can someone tell me how to make it? I have used linux before.

I would really appreciate to you for taking some of your time to explain a newbie like me

I can't get my snd card to work with AppleHDA. I'm using FS Amilo Pi 1556 notebook with ALC880 card. I managed to get it to work on pre-patched AppleAzaliaAudio. It gave me 2 channels output on spdif but i could not make laptop's speakers to work. With AppleHDA i can't get it to work at all. I got my codec#0 and codec#1 (well, i have two) files from Linux (where that snd card works without any problems)n and tried to patch AppleHDA.kext using this patcher. At the beggining i deleted original AppleHDA.kext from /System/Libraries/Extensions and got that one: ALC882 AppleHDA v0.4b.mpkg. It installed just fine. Next step was to patch it using patcher. For some reason v15 does not work at all. All i got was:

With patcher v13 i got a bit more:

** Done patching - You can reboot now **

After rebooting with semthex kernel i had no sound and no snd card available. Same thing with DeamonES kernel. I was about to check if kext is loading properly so i moved AppleHDA.kext to another place and loaded it manually. That's what i got after using kextload -v AppleHDA.kext:

kextload: extension AppleHDA.kext/ appears to be valid
kextload: loading extension AppleHDA.kext/
kextload: AppleHDA.kext/ loaded successfully
kextload: loading personalities named:
kextload:	 HDA Generic Codec Driver
kextload:	 HDA Driver
kextload: sending 2 personalities to the kernel
kextload: matching started for AppleHDA.kext/

Of course no sound ;-(

When i tried to load it using kextload -t -v to check for eventual problems i got:

kextload: resolving dependencies for kernel extensions with validation and authentication failures
kextload: extension AppleHDA.kext/ appears to be valid
kextload: loading extension AppleHDA.kext/
Unable to allocate pad vm for /System/Library/Extensions/System.kext/PlugIns/Mach.kext/Mach - (os/kern) no space available

kextload: can't check load addresses of modules
kextload: a link/load error occured for kernel extension AppleHDA.kext/
load failed for extension AppleHDA.kext/
(run kextload with -t for diagnostic output)

That's where i stucked. Can't go any further without additional help. I uploaded my codec files, maybe it'll help a bit. Thanks for support.

(sigh) .... I did exactly what you asked... Please take the time to read the last page of messages (page 69).. For people who really want to attempt to make things work the least they can do is read this thread before posting questions (especially those that have been answered only a few hours ago...)

I tried too, but without good results... =(

ALC660 still not working with this release, it's bad!

I was changed everything... NOD ID's, DevID n' VenID on kext binaries and nothing... no sound!

SampAcc · February 25, 2007

(sigh) .... I did exactly what you asked... Please take the time to read the last page of messages (page 69).. For people who really want to attempt to make things work the least they can do is read this thread before posting questions (especially those that have been answered only a few hours ago...)

From one Dave to another, Dave, and with great respect, your tutorial is very helpful and highly recommended for anyone who CAN GET SOUND IN LINUX. I mean, the caveat to your tutorial should be that the whole "grab your codec#0" thing only works if you have working sound in linux. catting and grepping, etc., with a non-working or un-recognized card only freezes up the terminal. and don't bother trying to chmod the codec and force it onto a pendrive - the file "doesn't exist."

The only thing I can suggest for Realtek HD probs is to go to Realtek's site, download the linux source and do these steps: 1.) read the README file, and see if your chip/codec is supported. For instance, the 861 IS, the 862 is NOT. And they ARE different. Believe me, I've tried otherwise. If you're lucky enough to be on the list, then 2.) compile it for your respective linux distro. If you still don't have sound in linux, you may have luck at that point 3.) going to ALSA and applying the latest patch for Azalias. That has worked for hundreds of Ubuntu users. THEN, if you've done everything right, you should have sound in linux, and can 4.) do a codec dump. Use that to run through Taruga's HDA patcher and you should be good to go.

It sucks, people, that it's this difficult, but the whole HD Audio thing is still sort of green after years of the AC97 standard. Honestly, if you don't mind running your audio through a Griffin iMic, and you don't have the patience to do the little research it takes to get your Realtek running, that may be your best option at this point until further notice.

Cheers,

Dave

Older codecs like the ALC860 and 880 need a lot more work. We already know this, so dont whinge about it not working. It is being worked on

jjduro · February 26, 2007

the alc660 still does not work? thanks!

Nope.

I have a Alc861/660 and I'm starting to wonder if the best thing isn't to foget Hack OS. No one can put the damn thing working, and we, with the no soun problem because of that chip are so few, that no one will give a hoot about it.

sorry,

Nice job though, for people with alc88x

Realtek HDA ALC861 <- completely dead under OSX

Yep!

We've got all the time in the world... or maybe not. :S

I can't get my snd card to work with AppleHDA. I'm using FS Amilo Pi 1556 notebook with ALC880 card. I managed to get it to work on pre-patched AppleAzaliaAudio. It gave me 2 channels output on spdif but i could not make laptop's speakers to work. With AppleHDA i can't get it to work at all. I got my codec#0 and codec#1 (well, i have two) files from Linux (where that snd card works without any problems)n and tried to patch AppleHDA.kext using this patcher. At the beggining i deleted original AppleHDA.kext from /System/Libraries/Extensions and got that one: ALC882 AppleHDA v0.4b.mpkg. It installed just fine. Next step was to patch it using patcher. For some reason v15 does not work at all. All i got was:
		  AppleHDA Patcher - 2006/2007 Taruga v1.15

** Done patching - You can reboot now **
After rebooting with semthex kernel i had no sound and no snd card available. Same thing with DeamonES kernel. I was about to check if kext is loading properly so i moved AppleHDA.kext to another place and loaded it manually. That's what i got after using kextload -v AppleHDA.kext:
kextload: extension AppleHDA.kext/ appears to be valid
kextload: loading extension AppleHDA.kext/
kextload: AppleHDA.kext/ loaded successfully
kextload: loading personalities named:
kextload:	 HDA Generic Codec Driver
kextload:	 HDA Driver
kextload: sending 2 personalities to the kernel
kextload: matching started for AppleHDA.kext/
Of course no sound ;-(

When i tried to load it using kextload -t -v to check for eventual problems i got:
kextload: resolving dependencies for kernel extensions with validation and authentication failures
kextload: extension AppleHDA.kext/ appears to be valid
kextload: loading extension AppleHDA.kext/
Unable to allocate pad vm for /System/Library/Extensions/System.kext/PlugIns/Mach.kext/Mach - (os/kern) no space available
kextload: error mapping module file /System/Library/Extensions/System.kext/PlugIns/Mach.kext/Mach
kextload: can't map module files
kextload: can't check load addresses of modules
kextload: a link/load error occured for kernel extension AppleHDA.kext/
load failed for extension AppleHDA.kext/
(run kextload with -t for diagnostic output)
That's where i stucked. Can't go any further without additional help. I uploaded my codec files, maybe it'll help a bit. Thanks for support.

As today, no patcher is working with ALC880, but you can get line out and line in using the kext from 10.4.3, copy the AppleHDA from inside MacOS to your Desktop, patch the kext with Patcher 1.09, then replace the AppleHDA in the MacOS with the one you copy to your Desktop, repair permissions, remove extensions Extensions.mkext and Extensions.kextcache, reboot and you must have line out and line in, if you don't have the kext go here http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mp;#entry229589 , good luck.

BondDotCom · February 26, 2007

i cant figure out how to get this patch working on my dell 640M. Well i don't really know where to start to ask so if someone could write up a tuturial it would be helpful.

I have a 640m with working sound and mic and can tell you that EVERYTHING you need to know is in this thread. The place to start is page 1.

I did as you wrote and it looks quite funny. After i copied 10.4.3 kext and rebooted. System found stereo soundcard with line in and line out. Of course it put sound on external speakers exacly as with AppleAzalia kext. After i patched it on DaemonES kernel and 1.09 patcher, my OS X could not find snd card anymore. I used my codec#1 file (it seems to be correct one). Is there any way i could use internal speakers with that 10.4.3 kext?

guys be patient, maybe next week god bless our codecs!

Maybe.. maybe

Anyone gotten the headphone jack problem with the Sigmatel 9200 worked out (by problem I mean the internal speakers not turning off when headphones are plugged in)? If not is anyone working on it?

dayomon · February 27, 2007

Hello,

After the patch with AppleHDA Patcher v1.15 and the codec dump

from KNOPPIX5.1.1 (this must be the right dump I believe),

System Profiler has displayed below

Intel High Definition Audio:

Available Devices:

S/P-DIF In:

Connection: RCA

Microphone:

Connection: 1/8 inch Jack

Speaker:

Connection: Internal

But, System Preferences -> Sound -> Output has "No output devices found".

Any Suggestions?

Dump was like that:

Codec: SigmaTel STAC9200

Address: 0

Vendor Id: 0x83847690

Subsystem Id: 0x10f70000

Revision Id: 0x102201

Default PCM: rates 0x7e0, bits 0x0e, types 0x1

Default Amp-In caps: N/A

Default Amp-Out caps: ofs=0x1f, nsteps=0x1f, stepsize=0x05, mute=1

...Node definitions continues...

Thank you!

i am with Sigmatel 92XX @ Dell 6400 .. on JaS OS X 10.4.7

after using the patcher to patch the codec from this thread ( i do not know how to dump the codec from knoppix )

kernel panic occurs

help needed ....

i think that its because of kernel version ... but how can i update and check my version ??

Edited February 27, 2007 by kavernchan

10.4.8 "NEW KERNEL ONLY"

kavernchan · February 27, 2007

10.4.8 "NEW KERNEL ONLY"

really becoz of kernel problems ( finally i have dumped my codec out using knoppix )..

but how can i check and upgrade my kernel ?

joe75 · February 27, 2007

but how can i check and upgrade my kernel ?

You have 8.4.1 kernel w/4.7. You need to install new 4.8 and use hacked 8.8.1 kernel. Search for latest JaS w/patches.
