VoodooHDA - common problems

[Zambo27]

nothing changed

[Cassio]

Do you have audio before muting iGain? Try to mute Monitor instead of iGain.

[Zambo27]

i can move only gain, mix and pcm, the others are blocked to 0

edit: maybe i founded the problem, with systeminfo i can see there is a thing don't working, it is intel chipset HECI controller, a part of intel chipset PCH (it include alc269), now i'm trying to find a kext for it

Hi.

I have a HP Pavilion DV7-6140eo with IDT 92HD81B1X

Sound work well with voodoohda 2.7.3.

But I use a external sound system that is connected with headphones jack. And here is the problem. When I switch on notebook, there is no sound through headphones jack. When I unplug the jack, sound is well through internal notebook's speaker, and if I plug in jack there is no sound on headphones.

And I need to reboot several occasions to appeare the sound on headphone

Is the way to resolve thise problem?

[Cassio]

If the headphones jack is configured as auto-detect, try changing its default association, maybe it solves your problem.

Can you explain me how to do it?

[Cassio]

It's explained in the OP of this topic and there's a link to a more detailed example http://Olarila.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=604

For example, if your config is

nid 17 0x022140[b]1f[/b] as  3 seq  0	Headphones  Jack jack  1 loc  2 color   Green misc 0
nid 18 0x010140[b]10[/b] as  1 seq  0	  Line-out  Jack jack  1 loc  1 color   Green misc 0

 

change to

nid 17 0x022140[b]50[/b] as  3 seq  0	Headphones  Jack jack  1 loc  2 color   Green misc 0
nid 18 0x01014010 as  1 seq  0	  Line-out  Jack jack  1 loc  1 color   Green misc 0

(default association 5 must not be used by other node, use first unused number)

[nikitosina]

I'll try it. Thx

When i use the (latest) VoodooHDA in this topic my laptop (Asus N53SV-SZ404V) my speakers looks like they gonna explode. A very hard noise. So i have to shutdown the laptop immediatly.

I also used a older version of VoodooHDA but i didn't had a prefpane with that one. The sound was not working with this older one so i want to try the prefpane settings in first post. That's why i want to try this version.

Do i have to patch my DSDT.aml for the sound? Or do i have to use an older VoodooHDA with prefpane? I patched my DSDT with DTGP, EHCI and IRQS.

Read about audio feedback in the first post.

[mderksen]

Read about audio feedback in the first post.

 

You mean:

Problem: audio feedback (Larsen effect), sound loop between input (microphone) and output (speakers).

Solution: mute iGain and increase iMix or Mic if microphone doesn't work

 

It's a very loud sound so could it be the larsen effect? If yes, edit this in Info.plist right? I have to reinstall Lion or can i boot without starting the VoodooHDA.kext?

[Cassio]

Yes, that's it (I guess).

Boot in single user mode, remove kext, then install the edited kext.

Boot with -s

mount -uw /
rm -r /System/Library/Extensions/VoodooHDA.kext
reboot

 

You can also play with iGain/iMix values in the prefPane.

[mderksen]

Thank you! It fixed the sound.

[lasVegasMac]

i tryed to edit my info plist and it says that it cant be saved

what can i do

thanks

all working bot audio not completely ok

[Cassio]

Run editor with sudo or copy kext to desktop, edit and install it again.

Remember to repair permissions and update cache (or use a tool like Kext Wizard to install).

Hello vorei ask for your help for a friend to run HDMI output.

hardware:

Intel Quad9400

Motherboard Asus P5Q Pro Turbo

I had seen but this piece of code is copied to the plist VoodaHDA

[Cassio]

You have to edit the parts in red (IOPCIPrimaryMatch) with the IDs of your audio cards.

[iFabio]

You Mean: IOPCIPrimaryMatch

0x284b8086 -- place here deviceID of your sound card (Chipset HDA device, not a codecID!)

IOPCIPrimaryMatch

0x033f1002 -- place here deviceID of your HDMI device on video card

But the other part of the code must not be inserted.

How do I find the ID of the Audio tab I state that wants to go HDMI Audio.

[Cassio]

You have to use your brain, a part of the code is already there, you just need to copy the HDMI part and edit the ID in both. If you want only HDMI audio, just put its ID in the existing part.

How to find the IDs is explained in the first post.

[iFabio]

You're right though I understand little of this is why I asked for help.

The piece of code to be copied for HDMI:

 

 <key>HDMI</key>
  <dict>
     <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>
     <string>org.voodoo.driver.VoodooHDA</string>
     <key>IOClass</key>
     <string>VoodooHDADevice</string>
     <key>IOMatchCategory</key>
     <string>VoodooHDADevice</string>
     <key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>
     <string>????</string>  
     <key>IOProviderClass</key>
     <string>IOPCIDevice</string>
     <key>IOUserClientClass</key>
     <string>VoodooHDAUserClient</string>
     <key>NodesToPatch</key>
     <array/>
     <key>VoodooHDAVerboseLevel</key>
     <integer>1</integer>
  </dict>
</dict>

 

I have to replace ID: place here deviceID of your sound card (Chipset HDA device, not a codecID!)

place here deviceID of your HDMI device on video card

[Cassio]

Man, we are stuck in a loop here. You don't need to paste the same code over and over again, I already know it. Just put you device ID there. If you can't find it, post a System Info screenshot.

[iFabio]

We'll pass the info system
