Problem: kernel panic.

Solution 1: remove AppleHDA and restart the system before installing VoodooHDA.

Solution 2: edit Info.plist, replace the key IOPCIClassMatch by IOPCIPrimaryMatch and put the PCI ID of your audio card in string.

Before

<key>IOPCI[color="#FF0000"]Class[/color]Match</key>
<string>0x04030000&0xffff0000</string>

After

<key>IOPCI[color="#FF0000"]Primary[/color]Match</key>
<string>0x[color="#0000FF"]3b56[/color][color="#008000"]8086[/color]</string>

Problem: kext doesn't work (usually when there's more than one audio card or the video card has HDMI audio).

Solution: use solution 2 for kernel panic problem above. If you want to use both cards, create one entry for each card in IOKitPersonalities.

Problem: sound crackles.

Solution 1: change output format in Applications - Utilities - Audio MIDI Setup

Solution 2: check "Use SSE2" in VoodooHDA prefPane

You can also enable Vectorize in Info.plist

<key>Vectorize</key>
<[color="#FF0000"]true[/color]/>

Problem: volume control (slider) doesn't work.

Solution: enable VoodooHDAEnableVolumeChangeFix in Info.plist

<key>VoodooHDAEnableVolumeChangeFix</key>
<[color="#FF0000"]true[/color]/>

Problem: volume too low.

Solution: enable VoodooHDAEnableHalfVolumeFix in Info.plist

<key>VoodooHDAEnableHalfVolumeFix</key>
<[color="#FF0000"]true[/color]/>

Problem: audio feedback (Larsen effect), sound loop between input (microphone) and output (speakers).

Solution: mute iGain and increase iMix or Mic if microphone doesn't work

<key>iGain</key>
<string>[color="#FF0000"]0[/color]</string>

It can also be done in the prefPane. In some cases you may need to mute Monitor instead of iGain.

Problem: audio delay. If you change volume, for example, it takes 1 or 2 seconds to play the test sound.

Solution 1: delete com.apple.audio.DeviceSettings.plist and com.apple.audio.SystemSettings.plist from /Library/Preferences/Audio and reboot.

Solution 2: use SoundFlower.

Problem: inputs or outputs don't show in sound preferences.

Solution 1: look for a kext patched for your codec.

For VT1708S

For AD1988B

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=267898

Solution 2: add NodesToPatch basead on getDump output (download in official thread).

Example

<key>NodesToPatch</key>
<array>
<dict>
	<key>Codec</key>
	<integer>2</integer>
	<key>Config</key>
	<string>0x90a70120</string>
	<key>Node</key>
	<integer>12</integer>
</dict>
</array>

Config (PinDefault) is made up of the last 2 digits of each codec verb, but in the opposite order

0x[color="#FF0000"]01[/color][color="#008000"]01[/color][color="#0000FF"]44[/color][color="#8000FF"]10[/color] = 21471c[color="#8000FF"]10[/color] 21471d[color="#0000FF"]44[/color] 21471e[color="#008000"]01[/color] 21471f[color="#FF0000"]01[/color]

Info about codec verbs

Source: http://www.projectosx.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=465

For each input/output there is a sequence of 4 verbs.

   Jack   Color  Description				  Node	 PinDefault			 Original Verbs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1/8   Green  Line Out at Ext Rear		20 0x14   0x01014410   21471c10 21471d44 21471e01 21471f01

Its about NodeID(NID) 0x14 in hex, 20 in decimal.

The default verbs for it: 21471c10 21471d44 21471e01 21471f01

CAd (Codec Adress) NID (NodeID) Verb Command Verb Data

71cXY X=Default Association Y=Sequence

Default Association and Sequence are used together by software to group Pin Complexes (and therefore jacks) together into functional blocks to support multichannel operation. Software may assume that all jacks with the same association number are intended to be grouped together, for instance to provide six channel analog output. The Default Association can also be used by software to prioritize resource allocation in constrained situations. Lower Default Association values would be higher in priority for resources such as processing nodes or Input and Output Converters. Note that this is the default association only, and software can override this value if required, in particular if the user provides additional information about the particular system configuration. A value of 0000b is reserved and should not be used. Software may interpret this value to indicate that the Pin Configuration data has not been properly initialized. A value of 1111b is a special value indicating that the Association has the lowest priority. Multiple different Pin Complexes may share this value, and each is intended to be exposed as independent devices.

Sequence indicates the order of the jacks in the association group. The lowest numbered jack in the association group should be assigned the lowest numbered channels in the stream, etc. The numbers need not be sequential within the group, only the order matters. Sequence numbers within a set of Default Associations must be unique.

*My notes for this, if you look on the vanilla codec verb(no matter what codec) you will see that Sequence is always 0.

Why that, and why for us on our codec verbs is different? Simple b/c Apple dosen't have multichannel analog out! so you must change it to 0.

*About Default Association, Keep the default one, in order, and on those that are the same replace them with new one that dosen't exist already in the dump... the values you can use are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, a, b, c, d and f.(see what does verbit if you still don't understand)

71dXY X=Color Y=Misc

Color indicates the color of the physical jack for use by software.

Unknown 0 
Black 1 
Grey 2
Blue 3 
Green 4
Red 5
Orange 6
Yellow 7
Purple 8
Pink 9
Reserved A-D
White E
Other F

Misc is a bit field used to indicate other information about the jack. Currently, only bit 0 is defined. If bit 0 is set, it indicates that the jack has no presence detect capability, so even if a Pin Complex indicates that the codec hardware supports the presence detect functionality on the jack, the external circuitry is not capable of supporting the functionality.

Reserved 3

Reserved 2

Reserved 1

Jack Detect Override 0

*Use 0 for Jack Detect - External Device(e.g. Headphones Mic etc)

Use 1 for Jack Detect Disabled - Internal Device(e.g. Internal speakers, Internal mic)

71eXY X=Default Device Y=Connection Type

Default Device indicates the intended use of the jack or device. This can indicate either the label on the jack or the device that is hardwired to the port, as with integrated speakers and the like.

Line Out 0
Speaker  1
HP Out 2
CD 3
SPDIF Out 4
Digital Other Out 5
Modem Line Side 6
Modem Handset Side 7
Line In 8
AUX 9
Mic In A
Telephony B
SPDIF In C
Digital Other In D
Reserved E
Other F

Connection Type indicates the type of physical connection, such as a 1/8-inch stereo jack or an optical digital connector, etc. Software can use this information to provide helpful user interface descriptions to the user or to modify reported codec capabilities based on the capabilities of the physical transport external to the codec.

Unknown 0 
1/8" stereo/mono 1
1/4" stereo/mono 2
ATAPI internal 3
RCA 4
Optical 5
Other Digital 6
Other Analog 7
Multichannel Analog (DIN) 8
XLR/Professional 9
RJ-11 (Modem) A
Combination B 
Other F

71fXY X=Port Connectivity Y=Location

Port Connectivity indicates the external connectivity of the Pin Complex. Software can use this value to know what Pin Complexes are connected to jacks, internal devices, or not connected at all.

00b - The Port Complex is connected to a jack (1/8", ATAPI, etc.).

01b - No physical connection for Port.

10b - A fixed function device (integrated speaker, integrated mic, etc.) is attached.

11b - Both a jack and an internal device are attached. The Information provided in all other fields refers to the integrated device. The PD pin will reflect the status of the jack; the user will need to be queried to figure out what it is.

Location indicates the physical location of the jack or device to which the pin complex is connected. This allows software to indicate, for instance, that the device is the “Front Panel Headphone Jack” as opposed to rear panel connections.

*Details:

Convert the 2 digit hex number to binary.

Pad the front with zero's to make it 8 dgits.

Example:

0x02 = binary 10 = 00000010 8 digit binary

Reading the bits from left to right:

Port Connectivity bits 7:6 
-----------------------------------------------------------
00 - Port is connected to a Jack
01 - No External Port -or- No physical connection for Port

Thanks so much for this! I'll try some of these.

BTW, some of the lingo probably passed over my head, but do you know how to get surround sound working?

oldnapalm · October 12, 2011

Usually (at least in the codecs I tested) all line-out have the same default association, only the sequence changes. You have to set a different default association for each line-out and set sequence as zero.

Once you have 3 or 4 line-out working, create an aggregate device, configure the speakers and select it in sound output.

Check this example

http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=267898

*About Default Association, Keep the default one, in order, and on those that are the same replace them with new one that dosen't exist already in the dump... the values you can use are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, a, b, c, d and f.(see what does verbit if you still don't understand)

Thanks Crosx86

Thanks to this guide the audio works, but not perfectly. I hear a little background noise (like crackling noises).

I got my codec_dump codec_dump.txt

and that's what I get with verbit:

Help

Crosx86 · October 13, 2011

@buoo

the problem in this edition of the nodes, I think.simple patch your dsdt and install the voodooHDA 2.7.2.pkg and edit the info.plist of the kext:

<key>IOMatchCategory</key>
		<string>VoodooHDADevice</string>
		<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>
		<string>0x27d88086</string>
		<key>IOProviderClass</key>
		<string>IOPCIDevice</string>

you're right the sound still works perfectly, more now.works best.with codec dump I did not succeed, controls lit up, but without sound.

oldnapalm · October 13, 2011

You have to specify the Codec key in each node patch.

Where did you get the "default" NodesToPatch?

Post your VoodooHDA getDump.

About the crackling sound, see here

Thanks guys

I'm using voodoohda 2.7.2, I only added my PCI ID.

<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>
<string>0x27d88086</string>

With "default" I mean the nodes that I found in the unpatched 2.7.2's plist.

Oldnapalm, Should be these the right nodes to use?

20 0x01014010

26 0x0181304f

29 0x4004c601

30 0x01456130

This is the getdump

getdump.rtf

oldnapalm · October 13, 2011

Unpatched plist should have no nodes to patch

<key>NodesToPatch</key>
<array/>

I think you just need

<dict>
<key>Codec</key>
<integer>0</integer>
<key>Config</key>
<string>0x01813060</string>
<key>Node</key>
<integer>26</integer>

You can try this to get headphones auto-detect

<dict>
<key>Codec</key>

<key>Config</key>
<string>0x02214c1f</string>
<key>Node</key>

buoo · October 14, 2011

The audio works, but there are 2 problems:

the audio delay

the voodooprefpan reset at the reboot

Mission Complete!

The audio works very god LoL using VoodooHDA2.2 + my PCI ID

<key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>
<string>0x27d88086</string>

buoo · October 23, 2011

Hi man, I don't understand the portuguese but I want to try it xD

1 minute...

Wow! This is the first VoodooHDA 2.7.2 that doesn't give me noice.

But It gives me too much audio delay and the mic doesn't work.

Crosx86, do you know how to eliminate the audio delay?

Crosx86 · October 23, 2011

@buoo

Hey buoo,for me works perfect...you can check in prefpane:

Your get dump is the same as mine?

put your device id and your vendor ID in the plist kext if it is already there, delete all nodes and run vooodoo get dump and compare.

buoo · October 23, 2011

Our chips are different :\

I'was looking your codec_dump, however ...do you know how to eliminate the audio delay?

Thanks

Edit: It is the same 0x27d88086

but the nodes are differents

Could you take a look here?

codec.txt.zip

getdump.zip

..If you could help me, this audio chip is killing me.

Crosx86 · October 23, 2011

EDIT: the get dump with this voodoo with nodes, remove all repair permissions reboot and run get dump

put your device id and your vendor ID in the plist kext if it is already there, delete all nodes and run vooodoo get dump and compare.

Is this the right configuration? The mic doesn't work and I got audio delay (2 seconds)

Just install SoundFlower and the delay should be gone.

http://code.google.com/p/soundflower/downloads/list

You just need to add in NodesToPatch the nodes you want to patch, the ones that are fine with the default Config you don't need to add.

You just need

nid 26 0x01813060

If you want to turn pink and blue rear into line-out (for 5.1 audio)

nid 24 0x01019840
nid 26 0x01013060

You need put it line-out,use this string:0x01013060 in node 26

oldnapalm · October 24, 2011

Please see my post above

You just need to add in NodesToPatch the nodes you want to patch, the ones that are fine with the default Config you don't need to add.

The error is using default association 4 for node 26, it's already used in node 24.

The mic works but I hear it in the speakers and I'm not able to decrease the volume(of the mic).

oldnapalm · October 24, 2011

The mic works but I hear it in the speakers

Problem: audio feedback (Larsen effect), sound loop between input (microphone) and output (speakers).
Solution: mute iGain and increase iMix or Mic if microphone doesn't work
<key>iGain</key>
<string>[color="#FF0000"]0[/color]</string>
It can also be done in the prefPane. In some cases you may need to mute Monitor instead of iGain.

I'm not able to decrease the volume(of the mic)

Try to do it in VoodooHDA prefPane, once you find a good value you can set in Info.plist (MixerValues), but the value set in prefPane will be restored after reboot if you use voodoohdahelper (installed by the pkg).

oldnapalm · October 26, 2011

I found another solution to the delay problem (worked for me): delete com.apple.audio.DeviceSettings.plist and com.apple.audio.SystemSettings.plist from /Library/Preferences/Audio and reboot.

jazzyguy · October 26, 2011

Can you help me to enable HDMI audio with my graphics card? I have my speakers working fine, but I can't figure out my audio. This is my codec dump, which I think is what is needed.

oldnapalm · October 26, 2011

Looks like a Linux codec dump, post a getDump (VoodooHDA).

jazzyguy · October 27, 2011

Alright, here you go.

oldnapalm · October 27, 2011

This is IDT codec dump. To use HDMI audio set the device and vendor ID in Info.plist, create one entry for each card in IOKitPersonalities.

See trick from official topic

4. If you have two sound cards, for example other one is HDMI output on Video card then made info.plist

Right, but I believe they both come from the same device 8086 1c20. So what do I do?
