New Audio Edits: UD2 - Full 100% Audio outputs coming soon

[reksi]

Hi,
i have installed the fixed DSDT to enable Sleep. Everything works fine except Audio.
I have the BIOS F7 installed on my board p55m ud2. I flash my Bios Today to F8. Is there something i must consider? Save something?

If i install the newest LegacyHDA ALC 888b Six 3.5mm Audio Jacks and replace the DSDT, must i replaced the Fixed DSDT again or are the fixes in the MultiBeast´s DSDT.

Sorry for my bad english but i hope everybody understand me

Thanks

Ok, so this is the current state of affairs. I'm working on getting the LegacyHDAs updated for the next MultiBeast, enabling all ins.out.

We've got all of the ins/outs working except the front mic. Digital, etc... For the UD2, this means 8 ins/outs on the back and 2 on the front (for my case).

Will be updated soon, but use that LegacyHDA in MultiBeast for now. It will give you sound- then update when the new MultiBeast comes out.

Specs in signature please

Yeah- it's in Multibeast 0.9.9- just use the one there. You'll need the F8 version.

i have tested it right now and everything works fine. Thanks a lot!

Just checked back on this topic and looks like good progress has been made regarding S/PDIF output, many thanks to all involved.

Has anyone had any luck with enabling digital input as well as output? Would love to have a fully digital, fully working setup, as I'm sure others would.

Thanks again to everyone taking the time to work on this.

You'd need to have a separate S/PDIF input bracket, as the boards don't have S/PDIF input as standard.
It looks like this and has product code 12CR1-1SPDIN-01R

I'm actually building a hackintosh inside a Power Mac G5 case, and re-using the original G5 rear panel connectors, so will be soldering the appropriate pins to the motherboard S/PDIF-in header.

So does this mean that digital-in and -out are both working at present?

 

[thelostswede]

I'm not sure to be honest, and I don't think you can simply solder the headers on, but I could be wrong.

I guess you'll have to do some research about it, but soldering doesn't seem like a good idea, as the connectors won't be removable. If you want to solder, get an old CD-ROM audio cable and use that to interface with the motherboard and the other end you can solder to the connectors in the G5 case.

What I described is a relatively simple mod. I'll also be de-soldering and removing all the Gigabyte motherboard rear-panel I/O ports and soldering the relevant points to a trimmed piece of an original Power Mac G5 motherboard.

I hope this picture will explain better:

Apologies for swaying off topic and back to my original question; is there currently a way to fully enable S/PDIF input and output on the UD2?
