[How To] Pinconfig for Linux users � Realtek ALC883 example

Hi,

very interesting, thank you for your job!!!!

But i have a problem.

With your HOW TO and my dump from Linux i have:

01471c10 01471d01 01471e13 01471f99

01e71c20 01e71d01 01e71e43 01e71f99

From windows vista :

01471c10 01471d01 01471e13 01471f99

01571cf0 01571d11 01571e11 01571f41

01e71c20 01e71d01 01e71e43 01e71f99

It's a bit different. (3f and 1f)

I can see speaker hearphones volume control and mic

But i haven't sound

Alc660VD and alc861vd are similar sound card.

So with 861vd (find on the web) i have

0023B000 00237000 00237100 0033B000

00337000 00337100 00E37000 00E37100

00E3B000 00E70100 00F37000 01037000

01470740 015707C0 01670740 01870724

01970724 01A70720 01C70720 01D70720

0143B080 0153B080 0163B080 0183B080

0193B080 01A3B080 01C3B080 01D37000

02337000 02337100 02337200 02337300

02437000 02437100 02437200 02437300

01470C02 01570C02 014707C0 01570740

01470884

With this i have sound hearphones spdif (i'm working on the mic)

Where is my error???

The 861vd pin is so strange but work! Why????

I'm now figuring out AppleHDA solution for myself now, I this guide is really great, one of the best and clearest out there. Kudos to Master Chief!

Unfortunately it is abandoned and missing the essential information about how to insert prepared nodes chains into Legacy Info.plist, setting Amplifiers and Boosts on various nodes, etc. This is the part I'm now struggling with, and there's no consolidated information about it anywhere. If I'm mistaken, please point me in the right direction.

Yeah, it is hard to edit amplifier & boosts setting without proper understanding. If we set it too much the sound maybe have too much bass or too much "deep". The best way right now is just use the legacy kext (compatible with SL) which available in this forum. I forgot who made it but it works just fine.

If you want to learn more, there is a couple documentation about Intel HDA sound which you might want to read.

I've progressed quite a lot with AD1981HD, and I can now have sound, but it only works after Sleep.

Another problem is that I have mute-only amplifier on a node connecting to Microphone, and I cannot find right settings to enable this node in AppleHDA. I can send direct verb command to the node, but it will be reset after Sleep.

I just noticed that you post additional info here and here which I will copy and paste into my reply (before it is gone since you post in the wrong place):

HDA Codec #0: Realtek ALC662

HDA Codec ID: 0x10ec0662

Vendor: 0x10ec

Device: 0x0662

Revision: 0x01

Stepping: 0x01

PCI Subvendor: 0x837f1043

And because of this missing info I can now tell you at least something. That you need to patch AppleHDA in order to get it going (below the terminal command):

sudo perl -pi -e 's|\x85\x08\xec\x10|\x62\x06\xec\x10|g' /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext/Contents/MacOS/AppleHDA

But you'll still need to complete the pin configuration with the info found in the first post. Additionally you may want to read my hunt for sound here (posts #3, 4 and 5 only) but please, please do NOT comment there about your ALC662 problems.

Thank you & good luck getting your audio to work

Hi,

thanks you very much for this detailed tutorial!

2 questions :

1) i didn't understand so much how to create a custom legacy kext ... and how to convert configdata in such format . Is it possible to do it manually or is there a software for converting it?

2) Is it possible to patch everything in applehda without having any other additional legacy kext?

Thanks!

Mal

updated: works now, it's an ALC889, not 885, succesfully patched,

codec dump from ubuntu 11.04 attached.

BTW this can't be converted with verbit cause it shows:

ERROR: This doesn't appear to be an alsa codec dump file

Codec: Realtek ALC889

Address: 2

AFG Function Id: 0x1 (unsol 1)

maybe it's a better idea to dump it with ubuntu 9.10 ; )

Verbs from Win7 x64 SP1 converted with diabolic's HDA verb converter:

Hello and thanks for your guide,

I own a Gigabyte P67A-UD4-B3 Board with the ALC889a/885 chip, read a lot of howto's but with 10.6.7 + 10.8.0 kernel I can't get my audio to work. It's told often, that this ALC885 should be working out-of-the-box but it doesn't with the latest releases of Snow Leopard.

First of all: thanks for your excellent guide!

I've been using it for my Abit IX38 Quad GT (ALC888) and my Asus P5Q3 (ALC1200) and your howto worked flawlessly for me fixing the DSDT.

Even altough the HDEF_Gigabyte.app exits I'm not able to fix the DSDT for the ALC885. What I did now: dumped the codec in Ubuntu (dump attached below), extracted the PinConfig in Windows7, converted with the online converter you suggested, and saved the output. Now I'm hanging at the IORegistryExplorer step cause the device is not showing als "built-in" HDA and some other required info is missing.

Maybe you have any clue how to continue with this chip. I attached all output I have. Your help would be appreciated cause a.f.a.i.k there exists now python fix for the ALC885.

thanks + regards
