ALC888 100% in Snow Leopard x64

[luaduck]

Hey peeps, audio is pretty much the only problem I have right now:

 

I'm on 10.6 with the Test7 AMD kernel, and AppleHDA refuses to load at runtime. Here's the log:

Any ideas? Mobo is a Gigabyte GA-MA770-UD3P.

[AlieN_RUS]

After 10.6.3 update from 10.6.2 sound dissappear:

Motherboard: gigabyte-p31-d3sl

 

[ileikcaek]

You can reinstall it after 10.6.3 update.

 

I haven't had much luck now though... I repaired my disk permissions as there were loads of bad ones... after that these kexts give a KP so I had to boot with -v -x and remove them... I've tried everything but the only thing I have now is VoodooHDA.kext working on my ALC888S chip - I have tried reinstalling these drivers over and over but it won't have it any more. I hope there will be an update for these kexts.

[GUTTERbOY]

No luck with this. Haven't been able to get sound up at all. VoodooHDA invariably triggered KP on boot; after adding these two kexts, the audio device shows up in System Profiler, but no dice in System Preferences. I do see a few AppleHDA glitches during boot:

Any ideas?

 

Setup is Gigabyte GA-965P-S3 running 10.6.

[jenna12]

Welcome.

Help me, I can not get sound to work.

 

ALC888 is the sounds, and the motherboard is ms-7501, OS is snow 10.6.2

Many kekst I arrived, nothing works.

 

PS: This is the google translation of a machine, text can be confusing,

sorry pollen

 

Big thanks in advance

[AzarN]

With all the DSDT editing and whatnot floating around i desperately sought after a simpler solution. This method uses HDEFEnabler, a x64 version of HDAEnabler from Taruga, and a patched AppleHDA of unknown origins (if you know it belongs to you let me know and i will add your name for credit).

These cant be installed to an efi partition, and have to go in /S/L/E, but if it saves me time and confusion from editing the dsdt i really dont care.

 

I just installed them using KextHelper which surprisingly works well in 10.6. It will back up your original AppleHDA to /Backup Extensions, so if you need it back you can find it there.

 

This may also work with other codecs but all i have around here are 888 so i cant test anything else.

 

The kexts are attached, please report if this worked or not along with your motherboard model. I havent tested this extensively, but as far as i can tell it gives me 5.1 surround on my GA-EP45T-UD3LR

Hey man,

 

I was really hoping to make use of your solution because I too hate the DSDT angle of things and have had no luck with it so far.

 

I tried your solution however to no avail.

 

Has there been any progress on this?

 

I'm running:

 

10.6.3

Gigabyte GA G41M-ES2L

ASUS GTX 285

2 GIGs of generic Ram

 

Installing these kexts did not give me volume control or list my devices in the sound options, although the system profiler DOES now say:

 

Intel High Definition Audio:

 

Device ID: 0x1458A002

Audio ID: 12

Available Devices:

Line Out:

Connection: 1/8-Inch Jack

External Microphone:

External Microphone:

Connection: 1/8-Inch Jack

Headphone:

S/P-DIF Out:

Connection: Combo

S/P-DIF In:

Any ideas would be MAJORLY appreciated.

[derrick.bowles]

EP45UD3L

10.6.4

 

THANKS

 

you got this working on 10.6.4? i can't get it to do anything in 64-bit. i get devices in sound preferences, but there is no audio coming out.

[workersss]

I got audio working with these , iAtkos S3 v2 (-v busratio=20 to install) and not selecting any audio on the disc during install, then install these with kext helper.

Now all I need is vid. I'm too afraid to try and update to 6.4 since I have working audio now with 6.3.

thanks.

[gengstapo]

Just to share, I found this 2 kext(works with 32 & 64 bit) working charm with my ALC888. Previously, my audio bass was like been boost

 

PS: I didnt try the headphone thou..

 

Credit belongs to the orig. creator of kext

Thank you for the link

This 2 kexts are working charm for my GA-X58-UD5 rev.1 ALC889a

Headphone sounds good, but a bit quietly

[JACKALACKK]

Not sure if this has been mentioned but I installed this on my first Hazard SL 10.6 install, worked fine, I had to reinstall and it doesn't make the sound work, the only thing I did differently this time is choose ACL888a kexts in the Customize menu while installing, and system profiler sees it :@

 

cheers in advance

[SykD]

The kext loads for me, but there are no output or input devices. AppleAzaliaAudio Works for my green output, but that's it. VoodooHDA works for some of my ports but they are mixed and very distorted.

 

Specs:

AMD

10.6.4 (10A432)

GA-MA770T-UD3P

ALC888

Modbin's mach_kernel.test7

[motionworks]

Thanks a lot!

 

I confirm that it works on Tyan S5396 Motherboard wit Mic Support !

Snow 10.6.4

[over.ukraine]

GA-P45-UD3LR on 10.6.4 works fine.

Thanks a lot.

THAANKKK YOUUUUUUUU T_____T Ive spent over 16hrs on this stupid audio issue. I installed your kexts thinking it was just another failed attempt, but upon restart I had all my outputs activated ^___^ I cant thank you enough Now if only you could fix my constant kernel panics >.< It keeps panicking over anythingggg, dock, safari, kextcache, each of those have caused a panic in the past 45min T__T

[anointed]

Man I just wanted to say a big Thank you for helping me get my hack together. Up all night until I found this article. The Nightmare is over. GA EP41 UD3L Board is running 100% audio.

[tsenecal]

just wanted everyone to know that having bought a zotac Mag a week ago, i have been slamming my head against a wall trying to get audio working. this thread has gotten me to the point where at least the headphone jack works, i haven't tested anything else.

 

i started with this thread, and got the machine booting, but with no sound and no wifi.

now i get to try to get wifi working.

 

thanks all

Hello,

I've got the GA EP41 UD3L and I have installed the two kexts in Snow Leopard 10.6.4. The sound works and but i've got a lot of kernell panics went starts. When i Start in verbose mode usually goes well. I do the installation whith Myhack installer.

1) Do you have the same problem?

2) What program use for install the two ketx, kext helper or Kext Utility?

3) When are the kext, in S/L/E or E/E?

4) Do you install the two kexts (AppleHDA HDAenabler) or only AppleHDA?

Thank you and sorry for my english!!

[bellbottom]

Some news for 10.6.5 ???

 

I can't make audio work.

 

Cheers.
