Grav3Mind Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 If you have ALC889a audio and can't get it to work we have a simple package for you! Download and unzip the file, and then follow the instructions Side notes:The board that this was tested and confirmed working on was a GA-X38-D24 "Disclaimers: We don't take responsibility for the kexts or files provided, we did not write them, only consolidated them and wrote instructions to setup ALC889a audio only."

Katratsi Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 1 I believe it’s ls8 instead of lc82 what is new in those kexts, I mean, do they better manage the power management compares with the old one ( or maybe they are the same.) Thanks anyway fred You're right its ls8 atleast I corrected it in the readme As for number 2... Well we didn't write the kexts, we've done really nothing except grab the right files from ls8's package and put them together with instructions on how to install them. Grav was having problems getting his ALC889a audio working and couldn't find out how to enable just that. ls8's package was for a GA-P35-DS4 motherboard and a certain setup, (he has nvidia kexts etc in his patches), so we just removed the bits that were needed to get the audio working. Since we couldn't find anything on how to do this, we released what we did for those who might be having problems.

consolation Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Will this package give me 5.1 sound? One more time.... 5.1 is independent of your audio codec, i.e. there is NO specific 5.1 driver. You need to create an aggregate device and use it, it works on any combination of outputs (eg. if you are only getting stereo out, you can buy a couple of $5 USB sound sticks and aggregate them to get 6 channels).
