Realtek ALC655

[elHam]

Can you help me, to run this soundcard on Intel 945 motherboard with ICH7 in Mac OS X 10.4.6.

[Big_Dawg]

Same problem, Biostar 945G M7 mobo. Haven't seen an intelligent response yet.

I GOT IT!!!!!! This I fould a post that worked for me, but I can't find the link. The key is that no one seemed to have the correct device id for the ICH7 chipset - and the chipset, not the ALC655 is what matters. I had everything right except the Vendor/Device ID in the AppleAC97AudioIntelICH.kext, which I had properly rewritten to include ICH7 (Use VIID 0x27de8086, NOT 0x266e8086 or 0x26688086). Because I have 10.4.5. and I read that it was the AAAICH.kext was installed in/System/Library/Extensions rather than in /System/Library/Extensions/ AppleAC97Audio.kext/Contents/Plugins, I put it directly there. I used the instructions given on http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Audio to load the kext file and clean up, taking care to change the directories accordingly if you change the file location as I did. The rewritten Info.plist file in the AAAICH.kext is (with the rewritten part in color):

Well, yes this works, however sound is choppy at best and is intermittent . Any updates or fixes for this problem?

[noizehole]

I call B.S. - worked PERFECTLY on a ICH7 ALC655 Biostar 945P-A7A Ver 8.0 mobo !!

Unlimited love to Big_Dawg and of course http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Audio

 

LINE - S/PDIF out, MIC - CD - Line In - Stereo Mix - Mono Mix in.

Haven't tested extensively, but I'm enjoying rock solid, skip free music from iTunes via S/PDIF out.

 

Hey pal - do yourself a favor - buy a copy of 10.4, install the Developer Tools and edit the plist in mad style using the Property List Editor.app

 

P.S. All the information for making your hackintosh "work" is right here - spend your time searching wisely. Someone with the same problem/mobo/chipset/install/card/oddity has probably already posted a possible fix.

[cantik]

Horay.. i can hear the sound.. thanks..

i modify AppleAC97Audio kext...

 

My ALC655 work.. stereo, spdf work to...

great.. thanks..

 

my kext this

I'm sorry to wake this old thread up, but I can't figure out what my device-ID is. I have the Realtek ALC658C and the device does not appear in System Profiler, using ioreg -lxf i get tons of info and are having a hard time filtering them. First I have 4 devices (Color separated)which I don't recognize as something else(f.x. USB, Firewire, ATA, SATA and so on), and after that I have the stuff that mentions audio, but in the latter i can't find the VendorID/DeviceID as described on this page: http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.ph...r_and_Device_ID
