Hi!

 

I got a Sony Vaio FE880E laptop, which has a Sigmatel STAC9872AK audio card.

 

I downloaded AppleHDAPatcher V1.16, got the codec dump under Linux, and dragged the codec dump to it, but it didn't work :lol:

After reboot, I still have no input nor output devices...

 

Is there anything that can be done to make it work?

 

Here's the codec dump:

http://67.15.66.48/STAC9872AK.txt

 

and here's what the patcher displayed:

http://67.15.66.48/patch_result.rtf

 

I'm running 10.4.9 with kernel 8.9.1 (Darwin Kernel Version 8.9.1: Thu Mar 15 20:55:00 PST 2007; netkas: 792.18.15~1/RELEASE_I386 i386 i386)

 

I found this but didn't work either:

Thanks in advance!

To be a god for one day... sounds nice :)

 

Well guys this is going to be quite a lot of work.

Node editing is exactly what Taruga's prog is doing so we can skip that.

The problem is deeper: the Conexant codec itself is very different from apple's HDA which is an Intel chip.

So we could conjure up a trick to dress the conexant up as an Intel HDA codec.

Right now I'm studying this document here how it all works , and yes, its from M$, since Vista gets the conexant working, there might be a clue in there.

Another possibility could be to modify the pinlayout coding in the source code of the apple driver for an IntelHDA.

 

So if you're stuck with a 5045-speakers-only-on-azalea you could help out:

by reading this doc here to figure out how it works:

http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/audio/PinConfig.mspx

download the xcode tools from apple (sign up as low level programmer)

get the darwin sourcecode for AppleHDA, edit it and compile it with the Xcode tools.

 

Maybe Taruga or some other Great Guru could step down from their throne for a moment to help us poor bastards crawling in the mud of code lines we do not really understand.. I really do not know wether I'm talking nonsense here or is this the way to go. Guru, be a Guru and help your ignorant disciples!

OK, OK! This is going downhill... We're starting to make this whole OSX business a religious thing...

Hi,

 

I've installed ALC882 Sound Fix v0.4b, my line in works, and normal output works. I know the line in works as I can see the input level jump when it should but it's not playing back what's being inputed. Is there any way I can set line in to playback?

 

Thanks

Maybe not a great guru but where can I download the sourcecode for AppleHDA? I would like to take a look at this in my free time.

Mentorek,

maybe you already took this steps and came to the same result as I did, hence your question:

  1. Go to http://developer.apple.com/products/ Sign up as an Online Apple Developer, choose the one possibility that's for free
  2. Download the Xcode tools (This package already contains sample code for writing a simple driver)
  3. Go to http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/ and log in with your apple developer id

I went to http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.4.8.x86/ and browsed around.

I could not find AppleHDA right there. Probably, this kext is closed source? Instead I found stuff like onboardaudio, really loads of stuff.

 

The universe of code lines opening up before me bedazzled me. This way writing and compiling a HDA driver for the #*@#$%# Conexant chip is going to take me months! Better do a C++ course first! This seems to go way further than getting a few numbers out of the Microsoft doc (see earlier post), pasting them in a darwin source document, compile and run.

 

I am quite desparate now. This is growing over my head here.

 

Besides, this Conexant chip is also driving windows vista users nuts (low output volumes, in vista very low input level on the built-in microphones on this laptop) There is no XP driver for this thing.

 

I browsed the ubuntu forums: also problems with conexant under feisty, mostly HP/Compaq owners. But there they manage to patch things up.

 

I am taking a break here. Have been puzzling for hours on end...

 

 

i shall definitely look in to this, thanks.

Yeah, also see sig.

You got the centrino model, is'nt it?

 

BTW, HP says on its website my v6314ea has the T2280, but the Intel CPU ID utility reports only T2250.

Do you have this dissimilarity?

I'll run CPUZ later tonite

the low volume on the mics drive me nuts too! and i even have bloody stereo mics on mine! i was soo happy when i bought it thinking i could use it with vista's speech recognition, but the damn thing doesn't hear a thing i say! (unless i yell lol). btw are u aware of any workaround for this by any chance?

mines a T7200 (centrino - core 2 duo). no problem like that on mine though? have u tried updating your BIOS?

Does anyone have a luck with alc862 + ICH7? The patcher from Taruga doesn't help. Even Azalia doesn't work for me - it is loaded, it shows output and i can control volume - no output on my Lenovo c200 with I945GM 82801G. If someone can give me a hint... this is my code0 dump under linux.

same problem & same machine (lenovo c200).

 

This is my dumb file, doesn't work with the patcher -> "detected unsupported realtek codec" :(

Presently ALC 861 is not supported. Not by Azalia, nor by Taruga's HDA Patcher.

Sorry. I have the same problem

ALC 861 is at a dead end, for now

 

Do u know if anyboydy is working on it???

 

Serjudo,

 

No. ALC 861 is not a priority because it is not a very common sound chip. For the moment, the efforts are all turned to the ALC 88x family.

There are some efforts to make a sound driver for all ALC family. And that's it.

nothing for audio conexant? I have installed driver the Conexant_HD_Audio.pkg and recognizes the output, but the audio is much bottom and succeeds to feel it single with an amplifier to the maximum… as I can resolve? thanks

 

use the azalia audio package found in this forum, audio output works fine with normal volume levels. no headset/mic support though.

Hi my sound device is sigmatel 9200

 

I downloaded 1.15 patcher and di did drag and drop the dump text file over the patcher icon

 

then the system was frozen.

 

I could not do anything even the mouse pointer was not moving

 

Fortunately, after reboot it was ok

 

Is there any way to install manually?

I keep getting a kernel panic right after entering my password.

 

OS X: JaS 10.4.8

Kernel: 8.8.1

Codec: SigmaTel STAC9200

Vendor Id: 0x83847690

Subsystem Id: 0x102801cd

Revision Id: 0x102201

 

First tried by downloading a codec that matched the codec used on my Windows partition.

I have a friend/co-worker with a laptop identical to mine (they were bought with the same PO), and he's running SuSE 10.x with a working codec. So I had him dump his codec for me and I tried it too. Still crashed.

 

Is there anything that's supposed to be done before drag-n-dropping the codec on to the patcher?

I have a Dell Inspiron E1405 with Sigmatel 9200 sound card. I've patched it once before using v.1.15 and Sigmatel9200.txt. It works. I got sounds coming out of speakers and headphones port (via headphones of course). However, even at the lowest volume, there's still sound coming out of both.

 

I saw that 1.16 is out and was wondering if I can re-patch using the new version (and possibly my own dump using Ubuntu Live CD). Basically, can I patch twice?
