P5E Audio Fix

[afiser]

Ok well i was searching and i couldn't for the life of me find a working fix for the P5E motherboard audio (AD1988B) until i found this THREAD now at the time it didn't work but i finally figured out that the problem lied in the third edit of that thread (the sound fix section) and i realized that the hardware id for that (the ich8 audio controller) was not the right one for the p5e (the ich9r audio controller) so i changed it and it worked.... so here is my tutorial on the deal (im going to steal bits and peices from the other thread but replace the hardware id's with the ones that work on p5e)

 

Step 1: (backup if you want too) Delete AppleHDA.kext:

 

sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext

 

Step 2: Edit AppleAzaliaAudio.kext for matching codec's proper ID:

 

sudo nano /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAzaliaAudio.kext/Contents/Info.plist

 

goto Realtek ALC880/ALC860 Codec Driver key & change the <string> to

 

<string>0x11d4198b</string>

 

ctrl + O to save ctrl + X to quit

 

Step 3: Edit AppleAzaliaController.kext for matching ICH9R HDA interface proper ID:

 

sudo nano /System/Library/Extensions/AppleAzaliaAudio.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleAzaliaController.kext/Contents/Info.plist

 

find <key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>

 

change the <string> to

 

<string>0x293e8086</string>

 

Step 4: Refresh kext caches

 

sudo rm /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache

 

kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions/

 

Step 5: Disk Utility>Repair Disk Permissions

 

Step 6: Reboot

I tried it, and when I reinstalled the kext, it gives me an error that it was installed improperly.

 

Help please!

[smorf]

well, sounds like you forgot ro fix the permissions... as a last step open terminal...

 

sudo diskutil repairPermissions /

 

hit enter, give your password, reboot and pray.

[jeezchris]

^Thanks! I don't get the error anymore, but the sound still doesn't show up in the audio preferences. There's no audio output. Is there any way to detect the sound?

When i try "Step 4 - Refresh the caches" using "sudo rm /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache", i get an error saying file not found ??

 

I've manually searched for the file but to no avail.

 

Has anyone got this working on a Asus P5E board ?

 

thx

sudo rm /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache

 

kextcache -k /System/Library/Extensions/

 

 

Just boot with -f this causes all kexts to reload

Hi all,

I did all the procedure, from the start to the end with no errors, everything was fine, I double checked kext files and everything is ok but my damned audio card is still mute.

 

Here it is my configuration:

- Asus p5e (with supremeFX II audio card)

- Intel Q9300

- 4 GB DDR2 Hyperx

- Asus Geforce 8800GT

- HD WD 500 GB

 

Does anyone have an idea?

Even a little help is appreciated

 

Thank you

 

Omissis

Thanks a lot afiser for this great post!

 

I can confirm that you tip about the SupremeFX soundcard is dead on!

 

It is so nice to see that something generally dificult like sound on a Hackintosh works.

 

Also your instructions are very easy to follow.

 

So my advice to anybody with a Asus P5E is to fix the sound with your method.

 

Insanelymac.com is truly great forum and community. Nice to be part of it.

Hi @ all

 

I do have a problem getting the 2.1 sound work!

 

I do exactly what´s standing in the tutorial - but with step 4 I get an error, that I don´t have permission to change!

 

I do have a P5E Motherboard with the Supreme FX sound card!

 

I installed Leo with Kalyway 10.5.1 (AHCI - disabled)

 

When starting up Leo after the installation everything works expect this "f......" AUDIO!

 

Can someone please help me - working on it since 2 weeks....

[TommyLeeJones]

THX to everybody - Isolved the PROBLEM!

 

I was to stupid to put the sound card into it´s right slot!

 

If someone has a prob too with the Asus P5E be sure that you´ve got the sound card in the BLACK SLOT!

My P5E audio, SupremeFX II PCIE (0x174BAA08), is finally working. Thanks!!!!!!!!!

[Innova]

Can somebody share the kext? I've tried it on my P5E and can't get it working.

[thyago231]

please! does anyone have the kext still???

[oldnapalm]

Hello guys,

 

with this kext mic works and it detects when earphone is plugged in front port (also works on Snow Leopard).

It needs a DSDT patch (insert after USB6 under PCI0 device):

           Device (HDEF)
           {
               Name (_ADR, 0x001B0000)
               Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)
               {
                   Store (Package (0x08)
                       {
                           "codec-id", 
                           Buffer (0x04)
                           {
                               0x9B, 0x82, 0x43, 0x10
                           }, 

                           "layout-id", 
                           Buffer (0x04)
                           {
                               0x0C, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00
                           }, 

                           "device-type", 
                           Buffer (0x17)
                           {
                               "Analog Devices AD1988B"
                           }, 

                           "PinConfigurations", 
                           Buffer (0x24)
                           {
                               /* 0000 */    0x30, 0x40, 0x21, 0x01, 0x10, 0x40, 0x11, 0x01, 
                               /* 0008 */    0x40, 0x90, 0xA1, 0x01, 0x50, 0x30, 0x81, 0x01, 
                               /* 0010 */    0x60, 0x10, 0x01, 0x01, 0x20, 0x90, 0xA0, 0x90, 
                               /* 0018 */    0x80, 0xF1, 0x45, 0x01, 0x90, 0xF1, 0xC5, 0x01, 
                               /* 0020 */    0x70, 0x60, 0x01, 0x01
                           }
                       }, Local0)
                   DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0))
                   Return (Local0)
               }
           }

 

It needs method DTGP, so add if you don't have it yet:

   Method (DTGP, 5, NotSerialized)
   {
       If (LEqual (Arg0, Buffer (0x10)
               {
                   /* 0000 */    0xC6, 0xB7, 0xB5, 0xA0, 0x18, 0x13, 0x1C, 0x44, 
                   /* 0008 */    0xB0, 0xC9, 0xFE, 0x69, 0x5E, 0xAF, 0x94, 0x9B
               }))
       {
           If (LEqual (Arg1, One))
           {
               If (LEqual (Arg2, Zero))
               {
                   Store (Buffer (One)
                       {
                           0x03
                       }, Arg4)
                   Return (One)
               }

               If (LEqual (Arg2, One))
               {
                   Return (One)
               }
           }
       }
