YouDoMeIDoYou Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Audigy 2 ZS with Lion: frequent crackles. No solution here :'( I am running 10.7.1 using a SBLive! soundcard with 10k2 chip i guess I had endless crackles until i activated speedstepping via chameleon P-States. Previously my system ran at maximum voltage and my kxaudio device crackled horribly. Maybe this helps. I checked working speedstepping with this nice tiny app VoodooMonitor. Install VoodooMonitor.kext in S/L/E (best with kextwizard) and run VoodooMonitor app. Here you can see changing voltages according to your cpu use. I do use DSDT but with no native speedstepping mod added - only via chameleon. VoodooMonitor.zip Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In org.chameleon.Boot i can see: <key>GenerateCStates</key> <string>Yes</string> <key>GeneratePStates</key> <string>Yes</string> How can i learn information about DSDT and his configuration?

YouDoMeIDoYou Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I don't use any dsdt.aml on this machine Try this patching app DSDT_Patcher_Linux_Mac_Win.zip running windows (if you have it installed). Run "DSDT Auto-Patcher.jar". Do following steps: Extract DSDT from System (yes) - left dropdown (Generic) - Apply. Now you must have a very basic dsdt.aml (maybe in same path as .jar but I don't remember). Save that dsdt.aml to your E/E folder in OSX and edit your org.chameleon.Boot.plist with <key>DSDT</key> <string>/Extra/dsdt.aml</string> restart and tell me what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michaelcard Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 update!!! copied kext on /System/library/extension chmod -R 755 kXAudioDriver.kext/ chown -R root:wheel kXAudioDriver.kext/ kextload kXAudioDriver.kext/ Work on my system!!! Hi all I have my Audigy 2 ZS PCI working in Lion. But one question about the post quoted above... What the heck does "copied kext on /S/L/E mean? Is it supposed to say "Copy kext TO S/L/E?" (the kext was already at this location after I ran the installer package in my case...) I want to clarify in case somebody else is confused with it... (I did not need to do this step btw... it worked fine right after the package install.) Thx Edit... I just realized that I don't have any input options... Has anybody figured this out?

nycbjr Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Without reading 40 pages, anyone know if this enabled digital out on these? I want to hook one of these to my receiver either through optical, or the coax digital input. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostooooo Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Hello guys, I`ve done all the steps,, but didn`t work with Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 7.1 Sb0570 Lion 10.7.1 Is there any chance to find driver for this ??

Logicpro9_user Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Hi Guys! I use the EMU 0404 Card, I have done for since Leopard 10.5. Its a great card! Ok so I know that every time you restart you have no sound! Until you type in edspctrl into the terminal. This is a real pain! In order to upload FPGA firmware after reboot, open Terminal and type 'edspctrl' Here is a small LaunchAgents script to get round this problem! No more typing into the terminal on reboot, or sleep! Just download the attached file and drop it in /System/Library/LaunchAgents and reboot! (NOT /Users/YOUNAME/Library/LaunchAgents) Now you have sound after reboot and sleep WITHOUT typing edspctrl into the terminal all the time! Works in Leopard, Snow Leopard, and Lion. edspctrl.plist.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

litania72 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Hi All, thanks for this; Audigy 2 ZS working in 'output' but unfortunately no 'input' and so no microphone......anybody has any idea why? thanks in advance for your hard work Forgot to mention that I have installed the lot by using the dmg file; it installed kxmanager and kxac97 but both are not working....open and close.. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baxbaxbax Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Hey Guys! kX works well with Audigy 1 24/48, but i use 96k files as well. Is there any support for 24/96 playback with Audigy 2? It would be the cheapest and most common card to use. If the Audigy 2 does not support 24/96 please suggest a card from the list. thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3square Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Hello, all. my dell xps 420 hackintosh been running great. i was using voodoo HDA to get the audio working. I would like to use the optical out so i can get 5.1 sound. i tried using the kX Driver for OS X 1.11b0 and 1.3b0. both of which doesn't even show up under audio in preference. my dell configuration listed the integrated audio as "Integrated Sound Blaster Audigy HD Software Edition", i'm not sure which it is audigy 2? any help on this would gladly appreciated. i'm on lion 10.7.2 btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimiko Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 This driver is incomplete and has not input enabled. Anybody knows how to get the mic working?

It will not work with this driver. sorry. Also (on a side note), This driver works on Mt Lion 10.8 DP1 the same as it does in 10.7.2 and 10.7.3.

Svetolik Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 kX CT4870 10k1 [e880] Have worked in snow leo. Now it won't work with ML 10.8.4. Is there someone that have to work it out? After instaling KX driver and edspctrl.plist.zip I can see KX signature under system report/hardware but no sound. If some one also could provide steps for enabling audio in ML 10.8.4 it would be of great help. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ameris_cyning Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 TBH I think its dead. You could get a cheap USB sound for input and keep your Audigy 2 being the output Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
