Doraemon Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I can't seem to get sound working despite having tried various kext packages for the ACL889 chipset. Any advice? Thanks in advance!

rhoadesenator Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 I also have this board and would like to find the proper kext for my build. I currently use the VoodooHDA.kekt with the PrefPane and it "works" but it is too quiet. Plus, I also want to use a jumper from the SPDIF out on the motherboard to run sound through the HDMI port on my 9500gt graphics card. Not sure if the Voodoo kext will support that or not (haven't tried it.) If you find the solution, I'd love to hear it! Other than that, this board has been a breeze to set up and is super stable and compatible for a hackintosh.

HibariYa Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 I can't seem to get sound working despite having tried various kext packages for the ACL889 chipset. Any advice? Thanks in advance! Maybe you should try to remove audio wire from front panel and plug jumpers as default. HD-Audio's layout is similar to AC'97 but not the same. Is this a problem? YES!!! IT IS REALLY A BIG PROBLEM!!!

AgentSchmidt Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 I can't seem to get sound working despite having tried various kext packages for the ACL889 chipset. Any advice? Thanks in advance! It works with the VoodooHDA that was released on October 4, 2010. Just put that in your System Extensions folder and repair permissions. It won't show up in system profiler as an integrated sound chip, but you can go to settings and select the inputs/outputs. this is for the GA-EP45T-USB3P Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/232204-ga-ep45t-usb3p/#findComment-1561325 Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinlayers Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 I finally got sound working on my GA-EP45T-USB3P! Verified working on 10.6.5! Be sure to use KextUtility or something similar to install the kexts with. Note: I'm using Cartri's MacBIOS firmware, but this should work for all EP45T-USB3P boards. 1. Download Gigabyte_ALC889_P55.zip: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?z01fznwnumn 2. Download ALC-UniFix for 10.6.4+: http://cartri.net/downloads/ALC-UniFix.pkg 3. Unzip Gigabyte_ALC889_P55.zip 4. Install "HDAEnabler_for_Snow/HDAEnabler.kext" to /System/Library/Extensions/ and Install "ALC889_LayoutID_12/4outs2ins HDA headphone/LegacyHDA.kext" to /Extra/Extensions/ Note: Pick the 4outs layout in "ALC889_LayoutID_12" that matches your front panel (HDA or AC'97/regular). 5. Install ALC-UniFix 6. Repair permissions with Disk Utility 7. Reboot! You can then make an aggregate sound device in Audio/MIDI Setup if you want 5.1. Play your DVDs in VLC and enjoy the surround sound. skinlayers Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/232204-ga-ep45t-usb3p/#findComment-1589560 Share on other sites More sharing options...
