DrSupachicken Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Hey Guys, What do you think about the Gigabyte P35-S3L? It looks to be fairly similar to the DS3 except it has the older audio chipset, but the benifit is that people had the ACL888 fully functional! I'm thinking about using this board on a Q6600 (GO) system, what do you think? From reading it should work just like the DS3 but with HDA. Cheers.

aliab Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Yes MSI p35 platinium seems also a good choice with ALC888, RTL8111B lan, firewire, raid, five sata ports, support for DDR2 and DDR3 very good overclocking do you think that it is possible to boot install dvd with IDE drive with ICH9 chipset? thank's Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/60003-gigabyte-p35-s3l/#findComment-426947 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheeplover Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 The ALC889a sound is working now! Take a look here At least the 2 channel-out is working like a charm. Regarding the Gigabyte GA-P35-S3L versus the DS3 or DS4 variants: I compared a lot of mobos prior to buying my first configuration. I think I did well because it runs like hell - and now, with the 2ch-out working I can't complain about anything rather than the case and not have the ability to upgrade without tweaking. But there has to be a price to pay when saving over $1000. Back to the mobos: If the $30-$40 don't hurt you, go for the DS4. There isn't much difference regarding the features that are built in. Not when using for a hackintosh. But the DS4 comes with these huge heatpipes and cooler on the chipsets. And they really take alot of heat away from the board. Especially when you are in overclocking you will be lucky you've spent the money. And for me, the 3 integrated FW400-ports are worth the money alone. If you're concerned about sound, then go for a $5 USB soundstick off ebay. It'll give you the input you need until the 889a is fully working.

DrSupachicken Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 Heya, Yeah, man the DS4 looks cool but the ALC888 has fully support including SPDIF which I really want.

sheeplover Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 This should be only a matter of time. And as I said before in different posts: If rtant for someone he really should go for an external device that offers better quality than the onboard soundsets. Don't you think it is more important to have a mainboard that gives you best tweaking and tuning opportunities rather than a working SPDIF? :-) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/60003-gigabyte-p35-s3l/#findComment-427854 Share on other sites More sharing options...
emzo Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 So far, i can't get ALC888 working. But mobo is excellent overclocker and a lot cooler than my old 965P-S3.

I'm thinking about using this board on a Q6600 (GO) system, what do you think? Even though this may come a bit late, ALC889A is fully functional now :censored2: At least from what i've read that is, i've only tried 2ch out + mic, which both work flawlessly. I like my Gigabyte P35-DS4 quite a lot, 20% overclock without increasing voltages at all! Hehe, still to push it to its limit but haven't had time to do so yet Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/60003-gigabyte-p35-s3l/#findComment-440349 Share on other sites More sharing options...
emzo Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Well after hour of kext reading, i was able to get 7.1 sound. Yep, ALC 888 works.I used skippyretard ALC888 package. ----------- GA P35-DS3L uses the same ALC888 !

Greasy Breakfast Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 I haven't had any luck with my Gigabyte P35-DS3L and any of the Uphuck releases. I keep getting a "Disk Boot Failure" message when attempted an IDE, USB or SATA DVD drive boot. Has anyone been successful with the JaS releases? My download has slowed to a crawl.....

Greasy Breakfast Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 None of the ALC888 packages found on this website seem to be working with my P35-DS3L -- perhaps there's something in the kext files that needs changing?

delish Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 I posted in the AppleHDA tread the devID for ICH9 audio: quote: Add 0x293e8086 DevID to: ALCInject.kext/Contents/Info.plist AppleHDA.kext/Contents/Plugins/AppleHDAController.kext/Contents/Info.plist Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/60003-gigabyte-p35-s3l/#findComment-445133 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skitals Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Using skippyretard's alc888 package and adding the dev ids above, I now have basic line-out (and apparently line-in) working. My front panel audio does nothing. There are no options for multichannel/optical/spdif in sound options. All I'm really concerned about is getting the front panel audio working for headphones. My case had multiple connectors for audio, including HDA, AC97, and Azalia. I have it connected to my ds3l's f_audio header using HDA... is this correct? I was under the impression this is an HDA driver. Is skippyretard's alc888 the right driver for what I'm after?

jon w Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 I'm having trouble getting sound to work on my P35-DS3L. I'm pretty sure its ICH9. Has anyone gotten this to work with Leopard? Maybe I need to modify skippy's info.plists?: Add 0x293e8086 DevID to:ALCInject.kext/Contents/Info.plist AppleHDA.kext/Contents/Plugins/AppleHDAController.kext/Contents/Info.plist Ideas?

Skitals Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Has anyone gotten SATA ports 2-3 (third and forth port) to work on the GA-P35-DS3L?
