Hi All,

Front headphones/mic
Line out - Green
3 Linouts for 5.1 Analogue sound
Digital out
Mic and Linein
Digital In

TEST and let me know, I will work on a vanilla legacyhda after i get through my study, You need my DSDT edit.

Thanks for the work but another user here posted one already that works and doesn't require the DSDT edit.

that's an old kext v1.7.4, i created the newest version kext, improved, the 1.7.4 kext and my kext are different trust me. You choose upto you. I don't discredit him, I created a new thread for my work so i don't interrupt his post.

Atleet,

Am sure it works for 888 users. I have not tried as 887 codec.

However, figure may try to mod yours with my verbs and codec...thing that is confusing me is that the layout IDs are not "aligned" - DSDT uses 888 (0x378) , HDAEnabler uses 12 (0x0C), and .plist inside HDA is saying 0 (h/w config)and 12 (platform driver).

I figure then that the section in DSDT "layout-id" is don't care (could be removed?); but am bit confused about what's going on in the HDA Plugins. Can you explain?

Hang on, think I get it now...h/w config LayoutID=0 references platform driver Layout key0 which uses LayoutID=12... Is that right? Might be where I've been going wrong up to now!

Cheers,
Humph.

Did you add the front panel mic to your Layout and PathMap?
Where did you get the pin configuration you are using? Trying to find the correct PinConfiguration for the 885/889a.
Do all 3 Line Outs work? I have gotten either all 3 Line Outs and No Digital Out or 2 Line Outs (No Gray) and Digital.

Thanks.

I want people to test my file, I dont have a 5.1 system, I know Front headphones, Back audio out for green works, Just test and report back i will work on a legacyHDA for 10.6.3.

 

[chico_stang]

I tried this. its gives me correct info in System Profiler and System Preferences but there is no sound at all. The volume icon is grayed out. However I only installed AppleHDA kext. Do I also need HDAEnabler and the DSDT edit?

@atleeit
Why you are using HDAEnabler? I tough it is alternative to DSDT edit...

DSDT Injects Intel HDA Audio Controller
HDAEnabler Injects Layout ID 12
AppleHDA Has the pathmaps and codec verbs

After 10.6.3 and even Feb 09 Audio update. DSDT and AppleHDA stopped working, I couldn't figure it out but that's why i came up with this solution.

alc889a users dont need hdaenabler because alc889a can be recognised by macosx as alc885 with legacyhda and dsdt. ALC888 cannot. Very fidgety process.

Anyway i'm rebuilding a version, system.log giving out sound insertion errors, try to remove all errors.
