No OnBoard Audio After Wake From Sleep?

[shilohh]

Here is a workaround app I made for you to use until the real problem gets solved by someone smarter than me. It's a applescript app that unloads and reloads the AppleHDA.kext via shell script.

Works brilliantly, thanks!

...I wonder if there's a way to set an "open on wake" similar to "open at login"... to the Google-bot!

Is there a way to prevent this app from asking for a password every time you launch it?

You could possibly edit the app's source AppleScript and hard-code your admin username and pw. I haven't looked into that.

Not sure if it will work but you can try replacing the main scripts content with this:

[FONT=Verdana][B]property[/B] [COLOR=#4f8f00]userpassword[/COLOR] : ""[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana][B]set[/B] [COLOR=#4f8f00]theFinderPID[/COLOR] [B]to[/B] [COLOR=#012fbe][B]do shell script[/B][/COLOR] "ps -axww | /usr/bin/grep '[/]Finder'| awk '{print $1}' | head -1"[/FONT]
[COLOR=#012FBE][FONT=Verdana][B]do shell script[/B][COLOR=#000000] "renice 1 " & [/COLOR][COLOR=#4f8f00]theFinderPID[/COLOR][COLOR=#5730be]password[/COLOR][COLOR=#4f8f00]userpassword[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000] [B]with[/B] [/COLOR]administrator privileges[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#012FBE][FONT=Verdana][B]do shell script[/B][COLOR=#000000] "renice 0 " & [/COLOR][COLOR=#4f8f00]theFinderPID[/COLOR][COLOR=#5730be]password[/COLOR][COLOR=#4f8f00]userpassword[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000] [B]with[/B] [/COLOR]administrator privileges[/FONT][/COLOR]
[FONT=Verdana][COLOR=#012fbe][B]do shell script[/B][/COLOR] "sudo kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext && sudo kextload /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext" [B]with[/B] [COLOR=#012fbe]administrator privileges[/COLOR][/FONT]

In the top line put your case sensitive password between the quotation marks. IE:

[B]property[/B][COLOR=#4F8F00][FONT=Verdana]userpassword[/FONT][/COLOR][FONT=Verdana] : "YourPassword"[/FONT]

nice work! Haven't tested yet...

So I am trying to rebuild this in Automator and cannot seem to get it working. This is considered running a shell script right?

ACTUALLY I think I may have a near-perfect solution. It requires a bit of setup, but should work noiselessly in the background forever after. (Full disclosure: I haven't tested this on my Hackintosh yet. However, it's based entirely on a working setup I have for something else.) EDIT: Works exactly as expected on my Hackintosh. Machine wakes from sleep, sound doesn't work for a second or two, sound starts working again. No password input needed.

What we're going to do is turn shilohh's AppleScript code (which is just a wrapper for some BASH commands anyway) into a BASH script, then make a launch daemon that runs this script every time the machine wakes.

The script is very simple: create /Library/Scripts/HDAreload.sh (or whatever you would like to call it) with this code:

#!/bin/bash
[FONT=Verdana]kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext
kextload /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext
kextload /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHDA.kext    # not sure why this is here twice, but  that's how it was in the original. Maybe a pause is needed instead?[/FONT][FONT=Verdana]
[/FONT]exit 0

Now we need to set up the daemon. This is accomplished with a separate function, Bernhard Baehr's sleepwatcher. Download from his website and install as described in the readme. (He wants you to install to /usr/local/sbin, but I just put it in /usr/bin like I usually do. Not sure if that's best-practice or not.) Now create the file /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/de.bernhard-baehr.sleepwatcher.plist as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>Label</key>
    <string>de.bernhard-baehr.sleepwatcher</string>
    <key>ProgramArguments</key>
    <array>
        <string>/usr/local/sbin/sleepwatcher</string> <!-- path to exec -->
        <string>-w /Scripts/Library/HDAreload.sh</string> <!-- your script path -->
    </array>
    <key>RunAtLoad</key>
    <true/>
    <key>KeepAlive</key>
    <true/>
    <key>UserName</key>
    <string>root</string>  <!-- allows file to run w/o needing admin pw -->
</dict>
</plist>

Almost done—just run

sudo launchctl load -wF /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/de.bernhard-baehr.sleepwatcher.plist

in Terminal and you should be good!

I think you nailed it, of course AppleHDA from MB 6.1.0 (from 10.9.1 or something) is also working.

Is that working for you in yosemite?
