Hello fogel!
First of all thank you for sharing this modded kext. Unfortunately I have to report that for me it does not work properly. I have a Gigabyte Z68XP-UD4 motherboard with BIOS F6, Core i7 2600k processor and an ASUS GTX560Ti graphics card. Running Mac OS X 10.8.2.
I have everything working perfectly now except for the soundcard (Audiophile 2496).
What happens is I install the kext using KextHelper which reports successful. then I restart the computer and it proceeds to boot. Noticeably slower boot with "pauses" when the kext is installed. Then finally it gets to the login screen only to find that keyboard and mouse is completely dead. Could it be some fix in Multibeast or something that I applied which conflicts with it? I have no idea what to do... if it is something that can be fixed.
I only require proper sound playback at 16bit 44Khz/48Khz for my hackintosh to be happy. Looking at buying an ESI Juli@ Xt soundcard (PCIe variant) to replace the Audiophile unless I can get it running (the official driver for Windows also has bugs and issues so have been considering upgrading for a long time regardless... just it would be nice if I could use this card that I have somehow...
UPDATE: Tried an entirely clean installation (started over from scratch) when I booted with -v I found that the driver reports the following:
Envy24 card found, but the sub vendor ID is something ffffffffff and thus not fully supported, and then it starts spewing "Waiting for I2C Failed!"... keyboard and mouse completely locks up too. Is there anything that can be done to fix this? If there is and someone can point me in the right direction I would be very thankful...
Kindest regards,
doskungen.
Doesn't seem to me that there is any problems to be had just by having it sitting in the PCI slot. Though I find it incredibly annoying that it doesn't want to work for me (as it seems many others here have had much better luck) so now my only option seem to be to get the ESI Juli@ XTe which has drivers that should work in OSX (from the manufacturer).... but that's some $150 to spend too...
Thanks Fogel for this mod.
It is unfortunate that with
- Envy24_SL.0.22.mon.dmg we have a good monitoring with no latency, but in mono
- Envy24_SL.0.22.dmg we have no monitoring at all, but in stereo
- With Fogel's version, we have monitoring with latency, and stereo.
Is there any way to improve this?
Thank again
I did further investigations with the source code and the Envy24 (ICE1712) specifications.
