Hey People...

Still a beginner on this kind of thing, but making some advances.

I'm posting here a partial solution that can make Via AD 1888 users get Stereo fully working on the 4 principal speakers. And Mic also working, in case front-connector or back connector.

I dont know if anyone done this before, i tryed several things and thsi solution was the better for me until now.

Thanks to Pattjin since i used his kext as source.

Please if you install this kext, GIVE ME FEEDBACK, any aditional info will be great (even "it works on this chipset or this board"), as i intend to keep working on it.

My intention is to get 5.1 sound on this board... i don't know if it is possible.

 

For begginers, this is what you need to do:

 

- Put the kext on your desktop

- Open terminal and type

sudo su

- Give your password and press enter, then type

cp -R /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext /Users/put-your-user-name-here-please/Desktop/BAK

cp -R /Users/put-your-user-name-here-please/Desktop/AppleAC97Audio.kext /System/Library/Extensions

chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext

chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions

rm /System/Library/Extensions.*

kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions

- Restart your system normally and...

4.0 Sound!

 

Hope people get happy.

I will try to prouce an installer for this installation.

And people, if anything goes wrong, the original kext that worked before will be at you desktop in a folder named BAK.

If everything is fine, you can delete this older and enjoy your sound.

Oi Cartri,

 

A pergunta que eu tenho não tem muito a ver com o tópico, mas é referente ao AD1888. Caí aqui procurando no Google, e como você parece manjar da coisa, vou perguntar. Estou tendo problemas com a qualidade do som nesse codec, o em 4 ou 6 canais apenas o speaker out sai com uma potência decente, os demais têm uma saída de som muito baixa... Existe alguma forma de corrigir esse problema?

 

Agradeço desde já...

Translation (in my very poor english)

 

I'm having some problems with my AD1888 output sound quality in 4 or 6 channels: the sound is too low. I'm asking for some help to solve this problem...

 

thanks!

I can't thank you enough!

I was going to buy a new sound card tomorrow until I tried this!!!!

I feel like giving u a kiss! ;)

My motherboard is ASUS K8V-MX

Sound Max AD1888

 

Edit: I found that I am not getting 4.0 sound. Only stereo sound but the sound quality is amazing!

But sound still comes out from the MIC in jack and so I cannot use MIC while Playing any audio.

Mic is usable when all audio is off. So can you solve the problem and do you have the same problem?

Parabens pelo trabalho.

 

Olá, sou novo por aqui, consegui fazer o som funcionar seguindo uma dica para instalar o driver sis7012, Funcionou bem...

- Restart your system normally and...

4.0 Sound!

 

IMPORTANT NOTE:

In most cards the connectors will be changed! Try to plug your sound boxes on different connectors (ignoring the motherboard specs of wich plug does what...)

 

Hope people get happy.

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

 

Portuguese version: (sorry to post in 2 languages, but people in my country will enjoy, i think.)

 

Pessoal, vou traduzir pra português pra facilitar os iniciantes, mas respondam em inglês (ou com copia em inglês).

 

Estou postando uma solução parcial para fazer os chipsets VIA com som AD1888 funcionarem em Stereo 4.0. O microfone funcionrá pelo plug trazeiro ou pelo plug do gabinete para quem usa.

Não sei se alguém conseguiu isso antes, mas procurei bastante e esta foi a melhor solução pra mim até agora.

Agradecimentos ao Patjjin, usei o kext dele como source.

Se você instalar o kext, dando certo ou não, por favor ME CONTE COMO FOI, qualquer informação adicional vai ser util, uma vez que quero melhor o trabalho.

To tentando um 5.1 ainda, não sei se dá pra fazer.

 

Pros iniciantes, exatamente o que vc precisa fazer:

 

 

- Ponha o kext no seu desktop

- Abra o terminal e digite

sudo su

- Dê seu password e aperte enter, aí digite:

cp -R /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext /Users/put-your-user-name-here-please/Desktop/BAK

cp -R /Users/put-your-user-name-here-please/Desktop/AppleAC97Audio.kext /System/Library/Extensions

chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAC97Audio.kext

chown -R root:wheel /System/Library/Extensions

rm /System/Library/Extensions.*

kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions

- Reinicie o computador e...

Som 4.0 Stereo!

 

NOTA IMPORTANTE: Na maioria das placas os plugs estarão trocados! Tente plugar suas caixas de som em diferentes buracos de audio (mesmo que de mic) caso notem algum problema

 

Vou tentar fazer um instalador assim que puder.

E, gente se qualquer coisa der errado, o kext original estará numa pasta chamada BAK no desktop de vocês.

Dando certo, podem deletar esta pasta e curtir seu som stereo, com 4 caixas de som inclusive.

:D

 

eu nao consegui, voce está a escrever de portgues do brasil, aqi tem nomes difrentes!
