Popeto Posted August 8, 2011 Author Posted August 8, 2011 Did you try the files in my previous post?You should look for an ALC888 kext. Hi, I've been out for a while and didn't have the opportunity to try anything, but before doing whatsoever, I would like to be quite sure what I do You are talking about "files", but the only one I've got from you is "AppleHDA.kext-10.6.8-ALC888-Acer_Aspire_5920", right? So this is one AppleHDA kext that I shoud install in /L/S/E, I believe. Then you said I have to patch DSDT (probably that one I got from MaLd0n based on my hardware information??) Is there anything else ? Thank you very much, indeed ! Popeto
oldnapalm Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 A patched DSDT and AppleHDA should be enough. Check the attached file, it's Maldon's DSDT + HDEF patch. -Guides and Tutorials HERE -Hackintosh Tutorial Database - HERE -The largest EFI folder collection for Hackintosh HERE -Support Olarila Vanilla Hackintosh by making a donation HERE -Professional Consulting for macOS Hackintosh since 2006 HERE

Popeto Posted August 8, 2011 Author Posted August 8, 2011 Attached to this posthttp://Olarila.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=269&start=10#p2410 OK, but just to confirm : this DSDT doesn't come from my computer/hardware, shouldn't I better use my own DSDT patched with the necessary info ??? Popeto
oldnapalm Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 As I said, I took the file patched by Maldon and added HDEF patch. If it's not from your computer, don't use it, patch your original DSDT. -Guides and Tutorials HERE -Hackintosh Tutorial Database - HERE -The largest EFI folder collection for Hackintosh HERE -Support Olarila Vanilla Hackintosh by making a donation HERE -Professional Consulting for macOS Hackintosh since 2006 HERE

OOps, sorry, I opened DSDT, it's mine ... I couldn't find the patch, but anyway, I will put it in /E right now and ... cross fingers Thanks ! BTW I don't know why, this (and only this kext) appears on the desktop as RED colored. Last week, I've been trying such a kext and OS panicked a couple of times, so I had to delete it ... So to install it in /E or /S/L/E ? Popeto
Popeto Posted August 8, 2011 Author Posted August 8, 2011 OK, installed AppleHDA in /S/L/S and DSDT in /E and rebooted - NO SOUND, the icon is grey ... Popeto
oldnapalm Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 Then you need to find another ALC888 AppleHDA, or patch it yourself.

Popeto Posted August 8, 2011 Author Posted August 8, 2011 I found somewhere next : have to edit AppleHDA binary and replace 8508EC10 by 8808EC10 (to cover ALC888 instead 885) ... do you think it works, and in what module in AppleHDA to find the string ? Popeto
oldnapalm Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 Only binary editing isn't enough, you have to edit also the xml (plist) files, as explained in that topic. The kext you tested (ALC888 Acer Aspire 5920) is already patched for ALC888 (binary) but didn't work probably because the verbs (ConfigData) is different. -Guides and Tutorials HERE -Hackintosh Tutorial Database - HERE -The largest EFI folder collection for Hackintosh HERE -Support Olarila Vanilla Hackintosh by making a donation HERE -Professional Consulting for macOS Hackintosh since 2006 HERE

My Acer Aspire Am7720 Realtek ALC888/1200 is on ICH10, maybe some difference could make a glitch, if Aspire 5920 is different ? I'm looking right now here : http://Olarila.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=212 I'm probably dumb, but not too much I guess , I cannot get some maybe things - Mald0n says "Copy the keys CommonPeripheralDSP and PathMaps from LegacyHDA to AppleHDA.kext" ....but witch one is the LegacyHDA ? It could be something I should already know, but I don't Pls ... Popeto
oldnapalm Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 I think the difference is in the codec verbs, the chipset doesn't matter. Maldon't topic assumes you have a working LegacyHDA from Snow Leopard (created using projectosx topic instructions), it's only to port it to Lion (or Snow 10.6.8) AppleHDA, because legacy kexts don't work anymore in these versions. -Guides and Tutorials HERE -Hackintosh Tutorial Database - HERE -The largest EFI folder collection for Hackintosh HERE -Support Olarila Vanilla Hackintosh by making a donation HERE -Professional Consulting for macOS Hackintosh since 2006 HERE

I'm looking on my working (with sound!) SL10.6.7 version, witch was updated from 10.6.0 to 10.6.2. 10.6.5, 10.6.6 to 10.6.7, and in /S/L/E I don't have neither AppleHDA, nor LegacyHDA (matter of fact - I had AppleHDA that I deleted last week to test witch kext is responsible for the sound). Nothing special in /E/E. The only 'sound' kexts is VoodooHDA.kext in S/L/E (attached here for your info). So my question is - why couldn't I use it, and if I have to do any changes in it (if possible) - do you have any idea what to do ? Appreciated ! P.S. as soon as I did load Voodo.kext, sound icon is available, but I don't have sound ... VoodooHDA.kext.zip Edited August 8, 2011 by Guest Popeto
oldnapalm Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 LegacyHDA doesn't come with Snow Leopard, if you had one you would know. I really don't know why the same VoodooHDA which works in Snow doesn't work in Lion, I use the same kext in Snow and Lion and it works fine in both (VoodooHDA 2.7.2). Does it load but doesn't work, or it doesn't even load?

oldnapalm Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 Use AppleHDA OR VoodooHDA, never both at the same time. If you are using VoodooHDA, just remove AppleHDA, you don't need both kexts. Actually they may conflict. -Guides and Tutorials HERE -Hackintosh Tutorial Database - HERE -The largest EFI folder collection for Hackintosh HERE -Support Olarila Vanilla Hackintosh by making a donation HERE -Professional Consulting for macOS Hackintosh since 2006 HERE
Popeto Posted August 8, 2011 Author Posted August 8, 2011 Use AppleHDA OR VoodooHDA, never both at the same time. Yeah, that's probably the reason I see two lines with 'digital out'in System Preferences/Sound/output Tab. Let me get out AppleHDA and reboot first Popeto
Popeto Posted August 8, 2011 Author Posted August 8, 2011 Use AppleHDA OR VoodooHDA, never both at the same time. Exactly, as I did test it already lst week, now I see two lines in Output Tab - one with lineOut (three times) + Headphones, and one with SPDIF Out. But no sound I could try a newer Voodoo ... VoodooHDA.kext_v272_Snow - is that one you're using ?? Popeto
