[BOOT-132] Legacy AppleHDA

nebuluz · October 20, 2008

Nice Work...

Working ok on my Laptop from EFI partition (883).

Only thing are those error:

Oct 21 00:30:01 nebuluz-aspire-9420 kernel[0]: Sound assertion "0 != result" failed in "/SourceCache/AppleHDA/AppleHDA-157.1.24/AppleHDA/AppleHDAWidget.cpp" at line 1341 goto handler

and sometimes i get some choppy bumps but not often, only when ive not been using anything that throws some sound for awhile.

Any progress with V5 for 883?

stickpin · October 20, 2008

About error nothing to do for now. I got 889(885) codec that is original for mac, with good codec verb still have this errors. Cant find how to get rid of them, but still searching.

Sorry for V5 delay.

Im busy with some project from work. Will finish soon and update other codecs.

btw, trying to fix this choppy bumps, will see if ill get progress in this one too.

ѕӎѳѳ₮ңӌ · October 22, 2008

ill give this a shot for the 268.... its whts in my dell mini 9, and tagura's (spell?) fix breaks shut down.

stickpin, is this method similar to what tagura does with his appleHDA fix?

macgirl · October 22, 2008

@stickpin I'm using a FAT32 small partition with Syslinux/Boot132 method to boot my Leo partition (on another disk), there is no booter on usb sticks/ Fat partitions, should or could be created there also?

The Raton · October 22, 2008

Just wanna report success on Asus P5LD2 with ALC882.

Thanks!

B612 · October 22, 2008

My problem is big, and it is called AD1986a.

Can you do something about it?

Here is the codec.

Taruga had found a solution, based on AppleHDA.kext and ALCinject.kext, but in this case volume doesn't work, I cannot see anything in System Profiler and anyway it wouldn't work from EFI partition.

Please let me know.

Hi,

Thank you your "Realtek ALC888 Address 0" driver works great for me with my munky EFI partition Boot-132 setup. I do get a pop before sounds if none have played in several minutes, and I get many many sound assertion errors in Console. I am looking forward to V5 in hopes that the issues may be addressed if possible.

Status Report for ALC889a on Gigabyte EP35-DS3

Running a Boot 132 from CD (!)

Using "BETA V4" System Profiler shows device IDs and available devices, but System Preferences / Sound reports "no output devices found"

Using "BETA V5" System Profiler shows device IDs but no available devices, and System Preferences / Sound reports "no output devices found"

=> no success yet.

willing to test. :wacko:

Not working with my Ep45-ds3. It would be nuts if you could get this to work.

ximekon · November 9, 2008

STICKPIN: Thanks for all your efforts. This is simply stganding work your doing here!!!

I am currently probing to get my Gigabyte EP35-DS3 to work ootb. So my boot 132 disk contains all the required drivers and it works, but no audio ootb. And I'd prefer to have everything running from the very beginning. Anyway the EP35-DS3 uses Realtec's ALC889a chipset. Two solutions exist for this chipset:

1. Stickpin's (your) great efforts

2. Taruga's pre-patched kexts

So for now:

Ad. 1) Stickpin, your solution does not work for me

Ad. 2) works if getting installed to the /System/Library/Extensions folder (though no correct recognition in System Profiler, but at least I can hear something ; - )

So I tried to get Taruga's kexts to work on the Boot 132 disk, changed the Info.plist to even start in Safe Boot, but it does not work. As I could read Munky's post here, he says it simply does not work. Can anybody explain why it does not?

Kudos, x!

Xenophage · November 10, 2008

Indeed - thanks a million. While Taruga is away, you seem to be the only one paying any attention to the 889a.

I used your kexts by simply dropping them into my iDeneb 1.3 install. Not optimal, I admit, and not the way you intended them to be used. One of these days I'll dive into the whole vanilla install scene, but not yet. In the meantime, however, your kexts are working brilliantly on my GA-EP35-DS4 Rev. 2.1 (F5 BIOS). I had four ins and four outs working nicely before with a Taruga-style patch, but nothing useful in the System Profiler. Now there is fairly accurate info there. Coaxial SPDIF works wonderfully for two-channel sound. Not sure if it's even supposed to be able to output more channels via coax. Optical digital output doesn't do anything, which is a shame - I used it all the time with my G5.

Still, this is a very nice step forward. I am, as we all are, in your debt. Thanks again.

ximekon · November 11, 2008

Also reporting problems with 889a on Gigabyte P35-DS3. The Mic in actually works, but the input volume seems to be very low it hardly records my voice (and I'm screaming .).

The line out works, but it makes some strange noises, specially if you do not reproduce any sounds for a while...

I think, I got the same Mobo. would you please answer me some questions:

1. are you referring to the Gigabyte EP35-DS3 board (not DS3L or DS3R!!)

2. did you install with Boot 132 CD and retail?

3. which version of Leopard are you currently running (i.e. 10.5.1 or 10.5.5 or anything else)

Thanks in advance, x!

Xenophage · November 12, 2008

Well, I spoke too soon. While all was working perfectly this morning, just as I described it above, this evening I installed Little Snitch for the first time on this machine. That broke everything. No trace of any sound. I went back to my previous solution (a patch made with Taruga's patcher, along with ALCInject) and all is well. Just to be sure, I switched things back to the stickpin method - no sound, back to tarugapatch - everything works (as well as it did before, at least.)

Very strange indeed.

Big Kahuna · November 12, 2008

889a with Gigabyte ep35-ds3r

get sound with the posted file, no mic-in.

trying to use the king's guide.. but running into problems.

krrr · November 15, 2008

wow this rocks Stickpin, Thanks for your efforts.

I got Gigabyte 945 GCMX S2 motherboard ALC 888 with normal iAtkos v4i installed, Can i simply try to load this kext and use it? (without doing boot132 etc) ?

waiting reply.

Big Kahuna · November 17, 2008

bump.

still having Mic problems, unsure if it's MY mic causing it..

also to get 5.1, do I have to configure aggregate device?

ximekon · November 24, 2008

after weeks of digging into that AppleHDA thing:

current status from what I understood sofar:

Get yourself another hobby, AppleHDA kexts destroy your family life
dig a hole from europe to australia, you'll be finished a lot sooner than understanding AppleHDA configurations
the Gigabyte GA EP35-DS3 and the GA35-DS3R seem not be compatible in meaning of getting sound
I modified Stickpin's Legacy files and I am getting closer, now with a little success
it is possible to have an unpatched clean /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext and applying the LegacyApple thing
and it plays sound well.
there is only one tiny little issue ;-) currently my output is only mapped to the microphone-ext
Don't tell me things I don't know: yes this mapping is still PITA
and yes: I am gonna re-read King's tutorial on that matter and try to fix it. But that's it for now. Drink or die.

I provide my kexts for testing only. I would really appreciate to get any feedback from the GA EP35-DS3 guys out there (like mes amis francais!!).

Throw them into the /Volumes/EFI/Extensions folder
rebuild the EFI Extensions.mkext
restore original AppleHDA.kext to /S/L/E/ (change permissions ect.)
rebuild the native /S/L/Extensions.mkext
reboot
plug your output to the microphone-ext
tell us if you can hear something
read King's tutorial and finish my dilettantish experiments ;-)
dig a hole from australia to europe

Thanks, x!

No EFI here, on MBR, from what I gather, I would:

Install kexts normally, repairing permissions

then delete extensions.mkext

Boot with -f flag

Is this correct?

Secondly, I've always used ALCinject and appleHDA kexts for audio and worked great up until the other day when I mysteriously lost sound after updating to the latest iTunes. Do I delete these 2 extensions? Or do I keep appleHDA.kext? I don't think it's a vanilla/original appleHDA.kext.
