10.6.2 with VT1708B audio - not working
Hello, I have installed Mac OSX 10.6.2 and managed to figure out almost everything that I need.
My huge problem is how do I make the audio work. VodooHDA 0.2.2 doesn't work, not even kernel panic, AppleHDA does the same. Azalia is reported not to work with this chipset. and I found posts in which people say that with the exact mobo that I have VoodooHDA worked right out of the box. I'm clueless... I used the KEXT HELPER to install the kexts and it isn't working, I have the linux codec dump, I found a tutorial(very ambiguous) on how to convert the dump in hex and somehow build a new driver but the tutorial was very ambiguous and many things were missing. Can Someone point me in the right direction with this? Is the chipset supported? How can I build a driver from that dump, google is my friend and so far I haven't find a working method, maybe I don't search after the right keywords or smt, dunno. Thanks, ARTHUR. |
Try this kext.

Remove and backup applehda somewhere, then install the voodoohda from here.

I also have a windows 7 on my other hdd, and although I reseted to default all the BIOS settings, the audio won't work in windows 7 now... the only thing available in W7 is HMDI Audio.
So apparently I physically broke me external codec in all my attempts(if that's even possible), that is just great! |

External Codec only (VT1703B) Front Panel set to HD Audio (the other option is AC97) and it panics all the way, I am trying to use it in paraller with HDAenabler.kext, mayba iut'll work. I see that this version of VoodooHDA is 0.2.51, why that on Voodoo's page the last is since 2007 and it's 0.2.2? EDIT: regarding HDAEnabler now I see, "Inject audio Layouts in conjucntion with modded AppleHDA" I can't find on google a clear tutorial on how to mod AppleHDA with my codec dump. I turn my dump into HEX but I can't just drop it inside <strings> values like with apple.com.boot.plist. I saw in some AppleHDA's that the HEX code is very short, the hex code from my dump is extremely long. There is this tutorial : http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...owtopic=127227 Step 2 and 3 are completely ambiguous to me ... can't make anything of them, I read it like for 2 hours, what am I missing? |
