In Terminal, type:

 

sudo vi AppleAzaliaAudio.kext/Contents/Info.plist

<key>IOHDAudioCodecVendorID</key>

<string>0x10ec0880</string>

 

...........sorry i am a new user...i dont know mucha about terminal..the first step no problem...but the next step...i cant do it...

 

Do you mean that you cannot find the Key IOHDAudioCodecVendorID?

Resolution:

 

Via VT81XX HDA AD1986a

 

1) Backup AppleHDA.kext and AppleAC97Family.kext:

 

In Terminal, type:

 

CODE

cd /System/Library/Extensions

sudo mkdir audio_backup

sudo mv AppleHDA.kext audio_backup/

sudo mv AppleAC97Family.kext audio_backup/

 

2) Edit AppleAzaliaAudio.kext:

 

In Terminal, type:

 

sudo vi AppleAzaliaAudio.kext/Contents/Info.plist

 

find:

 

<key>IOHDAudioCodecVendorID</key>

<string>0x10ec0880</string>

 

Change press i for edit

 

<string>0x10ec0880</string> -- to -- <string>0x11d41986</string>

 

Exit: press ESC to save and exit :wq!

 

In Terminal, type:

 

CODE

sudo vi AppleAzaliaAudio.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleAzaliaController.kext/Contents/Info.plist

 

find:

 

<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>

<string>0xNNNN8086</string> (where NNNN are any 4 characters)

 

Change press i for edit

 

<string>0xNNNN8086</string> -- to -- <string>0x32881106</string>

 

(note: for Via ADI1986a, the string is probably correct without any edit)

 

Exit: press ESC to save and exit :wq!

3) Clean up the system:

 

In Terminal, type:

 

CODE

sudo diskutil repairpermissions /

sudo chown -R root:wheel AppleAzaliaAudio.kext

sudo chmod -R 755 AppleAzaliaAudio.kext

cd /System/Library

sudo rm -rf Extensions.mkext Extensions.kextcache

4) Then, reboot and enjoy sound out of two channels.

Thanks Sir.

I use Asus M2NPV-VM in JaS 10.4.8 amd intel /w ppf1.

I try to use this Resolution.

I can't to use Audio in M/B.

How can to do anything or give me more information.

I also have the AD1986A Soundchip in my Lenovo N100 Notebook. But I installed Mac OSX but I have no experience with it, so I even don't know how to find and delete the 2 files you are speaking about. I want to try to install ALC880 Azalia fix, but if I am right I have to delete the files AppleAC97Audio.kext and AppleHDA.kext and then install the ALC880 Azalia fix.

I know how to install the fix, but I don't know how to delete the files. I would be pleased if someone could tell me...

Is it to change "0x32881106" or to keep "0xNNNN8086"??

Thanks.

I just did what you wrote, but after I looked in the file again the file wasn't changed I think. If I try to change the file over the finder it says it cannot be saved after I edited it...

Is it to change "0x32881106" or to keep "0xNNNN8086"??

Thank.

I'm a newbie in Mac world. I manage to install the MAC OSX 10.4.8 (Jas) in my laptop but it seems the soundcard is not recognized by the OS. Can anyone write a procedure (from start to end) to make this soundmax work. Help, help, help.....

 

Note: even in terminal please try mention how to operate it.... (in short I need a laymans procedure)

 

Appreciate your kind response on this.

 

THANX

so, anyone has mic/line in yet? i tried modifying appleazalia kext but didn't work well. i guess there is no stream in section in the driver? tell mi if i'm wrong?also where is appleaudio.kext because i noticed that appleazalia has link to it, but theres no loaded in the system. BTW i got 2channel out working on AD1986A

Hello. I have a 1986 too, but i'm stuck with only the volume slider.

I've tried all the techniques stated in this thread, and others.

It just won't work :s I have a Asus W3J which is really similar to the A8j (the soundcard is the same Soundmax 1986). I'm running on Leopard.

Any ideas on what could go wrong?

Thanks.
