Working fine on GA-Z68X-UD5-B3 with DSDT-GA-Z68X-UD5-B3-F7.aml.
No problem after sleeping. Thanks so much.

Only problem is output device and pin configuration.
4 output devices are found in Sound control panel; Internal Speakers, Headphones, Line Out, and Digital Out.

I can hear sound, when I select Internal Speakers as Output device,
through only Line Out (Green) pin at the back panel.
Headphone pin at the front panel does not work.

Headphones and Line Out do not work. I did not try Digital Out.

blueknight611jp,
Great details. Thanks for testing.
I updated first post with v2 of this kext. More PINs are now working on my board.
Give it a try and let me know.
Thanks
 
Re: ALC889 AppleHDA.kext (10.7.1 Lion)

FYI,
In addition to v2 I also got Rear Speaker Out Jack (Black) working but seeing the following:

Code:
Sep  2 12:32:50 localhost kernel[0]: Sound assertion "-1 == streamIOType" failed in AppleHDAController at line 5427 goto Exit
Sep  2 12:32:50 localhost kernel[0]: Sound assertion "0 != result" failed in AppleHDAController at line 5112 goto Exit
Sep  2 12:32:50 localhost kernel[0]: Sound assertion "0 != fHDAStream->activateStream ( fStreamDataMode )" failed in AppleHDAEngine at line 8826 goto Exit

Can somebody help me understand why?

Still no progress on front Mic.
Thanks
 
Re: ALC889 AppleHDA.kext (10.7.1 Lion)

Hello, I have tested the v2 version, and it doesn't work on my MSI X58 Pro-E. The system shows the right information, but I can't hear nothing at all. Could anybody help me?
 
Re: ALC889 AppleHDA.kext (10.7.1 Lion)

I was wrong. Line In Jack (Blue) actually works with v2. I just tested it again.

Attached is my patched 10.7.1 AppleHDA.kext (2.1.1f12) for ALC889.
Works on GA-P55A-UD4P rev 2.0

It requires the following DSDT mod:

Code:
            Device (HDEF)
            {
                Name (_ADR, 0x001B0000)
                Method (_PRW, 0, NotSerialized)
                {
                    Return (Package (0x02)
                    {
                        0x0D, 
                        0x05
                    })
                }

                Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)
                {
                    Store (Package (0x04)
                        {
                            "layout-id", 
                            Buffer (0x04)
                            {
                                0x79, 0x03, 0x00, 0x00
                            }, 

                            "PinConfigurations", 
                            Buffer (Zero) {}
                        }, Local0)
                    DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0))
                    Return (Local0)
                }
            }

Could anybody help us, please?? :( :cry:
 
Re: ALC889 AppleHDA.kext (10.7.1 Lion)

Big thanks, @nozyczek!

I have working audio with your modified next. My MOBO is GA-H67M-D2-B3 rev. 1.1 with ALC889. I haven't tested front jacks, but rear output is working fine, and that is better than nothing!
 
Re: ALC889 AppleHDA.kext (10.7.1 Lion)

i had read somewhere that the popping is in fact the audio 'waking up' from an energy saving feature. i made mine go away by changing my model back to MacPro3,1 from iMac12,1.

i am on GA-P67-UD4-B3.
 
Re: ALC889 AppleHDA.kext (10.7.1 Lion)

Yea, tehkaga, that works but you most likely lost speedstep in the way (higher temps and no throttling). Waiting for a hybrid solution or perhaps a DSDT mod to prevent the sound system from sleeping.
