Slice Posted Tuesday at 06:25 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:25 PM But I think the end of Tahoe is not near because we will improve it how we can. 7 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/362932-hdauniversal-applehda-like-audio-kext-for-macos-tahoe-and-hackintosh-systems/page/5/#findComment-2851954 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tech Posted Thursday at 07:50 AM Share Posted Thursday at 07:50 AM (edited) Hello @MaLd0n My codec is ALC888S but the codec info doesn't finds. I've attached the report from your tool. I never tried VoodooHDA but neither AppleALC or HDAUniversal works.

deeveedee Posted Thursday at 08:56 PM Share Posted Thursday at 08:56 PM @The Tech You may want to try VoodooHDA just to confirm that it works. I've seen others who reported using VoodooHDA with ALC888S. I'm not tyrying to discourage your use of HDAUniversal - just suggesting that it might help to confirm that VoodooHDA works (or doesn't). 3 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/362932-hdauniversal-applehda-like-audio-kext-for-macos-tahoe-and-hackintosh-systems/page/5/#findComment-2851986 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use alcid=172. I created one layout with your codec dump. Remember, this kext version is beta and have several new things like digital(not full for now), 16, 20, 24bit on 44,1, 48, 96 and 192 kHz.

MaLd0n Posted 22 hours ago Author Share Posted 22 hours ago HDAUniversal v0.1.353 — PCM Test Results I individually tested all 12 PCM formats currently available on the analog output. Formats tested Sample rate Bit depths 44.1 kHz 16, 20 and 24-bit 48 kHz 16, 20 and 24-bit 96 kHz 16, 20 and 24-bit 192 kHz 16, 20 and 24-bit 32 kHz is not available as an output format on this device, so I did not test it. 32-bit is also not exposed as a native physical bit depth on this output. Results All 12 selected formats were accepted by IOAudioFamily and HDAUniversal: performFormatChange: 12 occurrences setFormat returned 0x0: 12 occurrences setFormat failures: 0 The 20-bit formats were correctly transported inside a 32-bit container: fBitDepth = 20 fBitWidth = 32 The 24-bit formats also correctly used a 32-bit container: fBitDepth = 24 fBitWidth = 32 Physical readback proof The final selected format was 192 kHz, 24-bit, stereo. The physical stream readback confirmed: rate=192000 depth=24 width=32 fmt=0x1831 fmtok=1 swrun=1 hwrun=1 pos=!0 cblok=1 bdlok=1 The codec converter confirmed the same format: stream=0x10 fmt=0x1831 path=0x14>0x0c>0x02 pinctl=0x40 eapd=0x02 complete=1 Real non-zero PCM data was also captured during playback: nz=7288 peak=35750656 rate=192000 depth=24 fmt=0x1831 Stability results The Playback Blackbox reported: playback anomaly: 0 repeated-window: 0 stagnant-position: 0 timeout: 0 underrun: 0 overrun: 0 xrun: 0 clip-guard: 0 clip-normalize: 0 select failed: 0 Conclusion The complete native output matrix of 44.1, 48, 96 and 192 kHz at 16, 20 and 24-bit passed the format programming, physical readback, DMA and playback stability tests. No driver, IOAudioFamily, DMA, timeout, underrun, overrun or xrun failures were recorded. 5 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/362932-hdauniversal-applehda-like-audio-kext-for-macos-tahoe-and-hackintosh-systems/page/5/#findComment-2852023 Share on other sites More sharing options...
