garageband --> add an input track --> monitor it

 

same thing, i can see it registering sound on the VU but no sound is output to my speakers (connected to the Audigy)

 

edit: i guess i was monitoring wrong before. finally saw the "monitore: on" in the bottom right, and now it does work. Thanks.

I lost the game to Snow Leo.... :D

 

No way to get the ALC888 working. So I downgraded to 10.5.8, with 9.8.0 kernel. Had lots of KP. Then just used cpus=1 to get rid of them.

 

Everything works fine now, except not getting both cores.

Hello to all!

 

I just confirmed that the new 1200 series driver activates the line-in finally. I can now use Garage Band with a Guitar cord natively. The only weird thing is that it seems to be mono but hey I'll take it for now until it can be made to work on stereo.

 

Thanks a million!

==================================================

 

 

Snow Leopard 10.6 and above ALC1200 audio kext:

ALC1200_106.zip

 

 

-----------

OLD STUFF ALC1200 driver for 10.5.x :

I think latest ALC1200_SLIM version could be considered "final", I'm running 10.5.6 and I'm working on this OSx version.

For previous OSx version you can try installing only the ALC1200fix and the HDAEnabler from ALC1200_1056LINEIN version and see if that works.

The other ALC1200 kext versions out on the forum are old and I think can even cause some shutdown/reboot issue.

This driver doesn't need any ALCinjector.

 

- SPDIF coaxial Digital Out working

- Headphone working

- Line in is working only in the slim and line-in version, read notes down this post

 

==================================================

Works on 10.5.7, just download and reinstall the driver.

Choose driver version, I think best choice is the slim version:

1. Update (4th june 2009) slim version from 10.5.7 applehda with: green line out, headphones, rear mic, line in and spdif out

I removed not needed verbs for multiple channel output (I don't need them)

ALC1200_1057_SLIM.zip 4th june 2009 10.5.7 version [latest]

 

----

ALC1200_SLIM.zip 19th april 2009 10.5.6 version (discontinued)

2. Normal version with no line-in, you can switch between front/rear mic without any trouble

ALC1200_1056.zip

post-404685-1239473986_thumb.pngpost-404685-1239473995_thumb.png

 

3. This is a beta version with all three input working, line-in, front mic and rear mic, front-mic has some trouble :P

This version works but if you switch between inputs, front mic stops working (only for that session obviously, if you reboot it works). This happens because ALC1200 has 1 digital mixer node for 2 channel (linein and front mic) instead of one, so if you come back from line-in input, to front mic, front mic stops working.

At the moment I would think this driver can't manage thing like this, so I don't know if we could have a better driver than this.

Anyway I wanted a working line in and if you select this and use it, that works, so if you need line-in you should use this version. :)

Update (14th april 2009) with RCA spdif in "about this mac"

 

Update (17th april 2009) removed ALC1200fix.kext from the pack

 

If you're updating your driver, in order to install this, remove ALC1200fix.kext from your extension folder, then install this with kexthelper.

Now in sound preference there's no (useless) "Internal speaker" "Built in" for input and output.

Howto install:

- choose and download kexts pack for ALC1200

- remove ALCinjector.kext AppleHDA.kext ALC1200fix.kext and his friends from /System/Library/Extensions

- remove /System/Library/Extension.mkext (not needed at all)

- unpack the zip file

- run kexthelper

- install kexts

- reboot

 

Obviously backup kexts you need.

 

==================================================

Thanks the whole forum, especially this thread, TheKing and Taruga :)

Removed verbs they're too large.

 

This is how looks like About this mac:

Fesco, did you modify latest Marionez's Alc1200_106 kexts to make ac3\dts passthru work? Or it works out-of-the-box?

If you have modified, can you share this?

-------

I have P5QL Pro. are you 100% sure it has alc888 and not ALC1200? 

Cause with your ALC1200_1056 and ALC_1057slim everything WORKS GREAAAT on Leo 10.5.8!! And Asus.com says this mobo has ALC1200..

 

Even SPDIF AC3/DTS passthru

 

To enable passthru i had to follow these steps:

1. install Perian 

2. in Terminal write: 

defaults write com.cod3r.a52codec attemptPassthrough 1 
defaults write org.perian.Perian attemptDTSPassthrough 1

3. install PLEX and in "preferences - system - audio" select digital interface, then "force detection" and mark DTS and Dolby Digital.

4. ENJOY!

I dont know why, but in VLC I have only PCM STEREO  :) Perhaps there are some specific settings.

BTW, AppleHDA edited by Fesco doesn't work for my mobo.

I hope this information is helpful for P5QL Pro owners and others, who have problems with 5.1 SPDIF!  ;)

 

I've tried ALL available kexts to get my audio work - and ALC1200_1057slim is THE BEST!

Great work, Marionez!

Hello Marionez! 

 

You always did a great job for us and I highly appreciate it. Unfortunately this time I could get the sound working properly on my P5Q3 Under the Snow Leopard (x64). I installed the kext for SL into /S/L/E, repaired permissions and rebooted. After that I expected at least to see something in my system profiler, but there was nothing at all.

 

I then tried to instal your kext (AppleHDA) in the Extra/Extensions on my hidden EFI partition. The same...

 

In case it matters, I use the Chameleon RC2 + PCI EFI 10.3 on Vanilla Snow Leo.

 

Can you please help me to find out what's the point for in my situation?

 

Thanks!

 

John

I've just tested ALC1200_106 kext on my P5QL PRO mobo in SL - SPDIF works! With AC3/DTS passthru!

Does this mean, that P5QL PRO has ALC1200, not ALC888?

Marionez, change info on this mobo in the first message of topic, plz!

Man excuse me, but there's an old post (somewhere) where a user says that P5QL PRO has ALC888, so that's good you have ALC1200 I'm going to edit first post

Yeah, i know.. I've read all thread and was very disappointed when heard about P5QL Pro has ALC888 :((

Here is that post: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php...t&p=1134930

I didn't make any dumps in Linux, but your driver works for my mobo, so i think this is the best proof that it has ALC1200 :))

Oh, btw official global Asus website says, that P5QL Pro has ALC1200 ;)http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=YYer...&templete=2

Thanks!
