Oh god ALC889

[AutumnJazz]

So I have tried almost everything and anything to get this goddamned audio working. Multiple, different, DSDT patches or find and replaces. Multiple, different, binary-patched AppleHDA.kext files. I tried using this guide. VoodooHDA.kext. No dice with anything.

 

Sorry for being a bit over dramatic...but I have everything else that is important working.

 

I feel like VoodooHDA.kext would be the best route for me, but I cannot get the freaking prefpane working. I have tried installing it before I install the kext, while I install the kext, after installing the kext and rebooting, etc. etc. I've tried installing it for only my user, or for all users. Ever single time, I get the "Can't get registry-path" error. No matter what I do.

 

I just want audio without having to buy a firewire audio interface right now. I don't really have the money for one, even a cheap one.

 

I have the DFI X58-t3eh8 board. I used (use) Digital Dreamer's script.

 

Someone, please tell me what to do. I am so lost. ;_;

Try this guide. It was one of the first to get Audio on X58

 

You, can try kext.com to try varies kext's

 

 

Here's what Im using,

 

What I use on my EVGA, works great

 

AppleHDA.kext.zip

 

Put in S/L/E

 

Legacy889HDA.kext.zip

 

Put in E/E

 

Might want to use the kext Utility do its thing HERE

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

I was finally able to try this, and I didn't work. I tried using Digital Dreamer's hackinstaller utility (which can be used to install kexts), I tried installing via dragging/dropping and command line stuff, and finally I tried the Kext Utlity. Nothing.

 

Does anyone have any damn idea what I'm doing wrong? Or why this just doesn't work?

Try using KEXT HELPER does the terminal work for you

 

Look through kext.com in the audio see if you find the a kext that enables with no DSDT patch for audio. It does exist.

 

In my BIOS i have it set to HDaudio not AC97 don't know if that can help or not.

Well, I got regular audio working with 2.7.1 VoodooHDA, but not SPDIF.
