jaymack Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 My Audigy2 ZS the system detect, but there is no output sound. How to fix it? P.S. Sorry for my English. I have the same problem. The card is detected, I select it from System Preferences sound, but when I try to play sound the computer freezes. This has been the case since Yosemite. I have tried all the KX drivers. I am now using High Sierra. I have also tried 4 different Audigy 2 ZS cards with the same result. All cards work in Windows 10. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITzTravelInTime Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 Do you want to know the funny thing? on my own audigy 2 zs sb0350, it just works fine, on my testing machines (2 of them are based on the socket 775), but have you tried the installer pack for the driver? I have seen in some cases some kext injection problems with clover the installer pack will let the driver to work in any case To help me to find the problem, can you send to me your clover config.plist?

ITzTravelInTime Posted June 19, 2017 Author Share Posted June 19, 2017 i see a lot of things that could be improved in your config, first of all for this driver is better to use the kext-dev-mode=1 boot arg, since it isn't a signed kext, and then to properly configure the smbios and the rt variables, and in devices try to use reset hda and to put your layout id, but the main issue could be the missing kext-dev-mode=1 boot arg, so try that stuff, as reference for some modifications I leave to you the config.plist I use in one of my working systems, tested with an audigy 2 and an audigy rx i have also created a modified version of your config.plist (the second one is the modded version of your config) config.plist.zip config.plist.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My config is configured correctly. The problem is not in it. For example, with custom dsdt no changes. P.S. Key kext-dev-mode=1 for 10.11.x-10.12.x is no longer relevant. This key for 10.10.x.!

This key for 10.10.x.! yes, i know abut that, but since it isn't a signed kext you should use it, for example, if you install it in the s/l/e or l/e directories, for the smbios, the mods i have done to your config in the smbios and rt variables, they should also let iMessage and Face Time to work if you are lucky, they works on my machine with that settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzylogic Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Kx audio driver After trying with my gigabyte g1 sniper and creative onboard chip, which gives me two chanel output with a blistering bit rate of 32 normally I only get 24 bit not sure how this came about but using chris voodoo had 889 which installs to the clover efi partition gave good two chanel results. I also own an Asus 97A 892 sound, and wish to ask you about the kx audio driver installed is the soundblaster live pci card using this card with the kx drivers (not your own version) I am only able to get 48 hz but no mention of the bit rate also that the black speaker out doesn't produce sound, I get front right front left, center and base. The card is 5.1 and I downloaded a five point one test video. something I would like to ask and try to understand, the kx audio driver can the 48 hz be increased to say 96 or even 192? how are the sound channels mapped out? and what of the bit rate ? I appreciate that macs natively put out 48 hz and that it is tied to the quicktime player? ================= would love to learn more about mapping the sound outputs and also why it is that we know that hackintosh can put out higher bit rates 16,24,32 so not sure why the limit on the kx audio drivers, interested to learn about it though regards osxone Asus z97 A usb 3.1 gigabyte g1 sniper creative soundblaster 5.1 pci card Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITzTravelInTime Posted June 21, 2017 Author Share Posted June 21, 2017 the sound channels are mapped, you have to use the midi configuration app that you find built in mac os to set the speakers in 5.1 mode, for the frequency the code in the driver is designed to handle only 48 khz sample rates (the cards itself can go up in sample rate, for exapmle the live cards can go up to 96 khz, the audigy up to 192 khz), for the bitrate the sound blaster live cards are limited to 16 bits, to get the 32 bits you have to use an audigy card, you can also try my driver, it has some fixes for the audio quality, and also proper support for the newer mac os versions and a new naming system for the sound cards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITzTravelInTime Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 for the audigy se guy, i have checked the pci ids and your audigy se can't work with this driver since the chip is not supported by this driver, there is also a check point inside the driver that allows only devices compatible with it to work, so no hope for the audigy se with this driver Thanks for the informative answer. I ordered a $1 usb dongle for now but I'll check if the audigy rx is available around my area for a permanent solution. you can easily find online the audigy rx, i got mine on eBay, new from a shop in UK, for half the price (they used it as display item for some time, that's why it was so cheap), so you can find this kind of deals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
