NEW 888b LegacyHDA - Digital/Analog/Headphone

[MacMan]

Can you list the contents of /Extra/Extensions ?

I did #1, like you said, and here's what I get in console if I search for the term "HDA"

HDAEnabler: Copyright (c) 2008 by Kabyl...

Sound assertion "0 != createAudioEngines ( fPathMap_aDriverInstance )" failed...
> Indicates that irrespective of what you see in SystemProfiler, the driver failed to fully set everything up and create the Audio Engine, so you don't see any audio Inputs or Outputs in AMS & Audio Preferences

** These items kind of points to your /Extra folder, having perhaps got a bit mixed up!**

That'd be why it's very useful to do as MacMan suggests and list out your /Extra/Extensions folder.
You are probably going to have to delete items from it, perhaps also add/update items.

It may be easier ultimately to just delete the whole /Extra folder and re-run Multibeast selecting Gigbeast/UD2+SystemUtilities to get to a good known state (which should get you analog working given you have AppleHDA10.6.2 installed), from which you could re-apply the new DSDT and LegacyHDA from this thread to get analog+digital.

Hi Y'all. The contents of Extra/Extensions is:

fakesmc.kext
JMicron36xATA.kext
JMicron36xeSATA.kext
LegacyHDA.kext

The current LegacyHDA is the one that gives me a few analog outs. I have tried other, more current versions as well as the Legacy888bHDA and different DSDT's. I did as you said with deleting E/E and reinstalling with GigaBeast, but to no avail. I just can't seem to get that digital out to function at all. Thanks for all the help!

Then it sounds like you are using a version of MultiBeast <1.1.0. Any version of MultiBeast prior to 1.1.0 the DSDT will only work with LegacyHDA. MultiBeast 1.1.0 DSDT for you motherboard will only work with Legacy888bHDA.

You can delete LegacyHDA.kext and run MultiBeast 1.1.0 with the following options:

GigaBeast -> GA-P55M-UD2
System Utilities
Advanced Options -> Kexts -> Audio -> LegacyHDA -> Legacy888bHDA

That should do the trick.

You need to be using BIOS F8 or greater for Digital Audio to work.

I really wish I could say that worked, but it didn't... it's weird, I know! I've tried most every combination I could think of and these are my results. I do appreciate the help very much. Maybe I'm just stuck with this!

What's funny is that HDAEnabler is not installed in either E/E or S/L/E. Where else could it be? Is it important in this instance?

Did you rebuild caches using MultiBeast -> System Utilities after deleting?

When deleting a .kext you MUST update caches or the delete kext will still load.

You better believe I did! I am as perplexed as you guys. I've tried all the basics and some more advanced measures, like editing my own DSDT. I just don't see it and am not sure what it is. I see that the sound driver failing to load, I just can't figure out why. I don't have any HDAEnabler and have searched my system for it, but it doesn't turn up, though the console shows it loading on startup. Y'all are great for helping me, but don't feel like it's your problem to fix... I was hoping someone had the same problem and was able to fix it. Thanks.

Download and run this tool http://pagesperso-orange.fr/joel.barriere/dl/106/Maintenance.dmg

When you run it make sure you check delete all caches and reboot.

Dang, I was really hoping that would work. Here's my console now after running Maintenance:

I found the reference to HDAEnabler that console is showing – it's a kext inside AppleHDA.kext in S/L/E (it's in the PlugIns folder). Hoboy!
