NEW VoodooHDA Intel High Definition Audio Driver

[mitchellkza]

This was first posted at Uphuck forum by Pere. i tried this last night and my Intel High Definition Audio worked immediately after installing the kext and removing the AppleAzaliaAudio.kext, I did not even need to reboot my HAC after installing the kext.

Here is download link of compiled kext:

Install to System/Library/Extensions and erase ALCinject or HDAenabler if you have it. Nothing else.
Move out from your extensions folder the driver Appleazaliaaudio.kext so you know the patched Azalia audio driver is not interfering.

Unfortunetely there are still some distortion issues with some HDEF audio controllers...
For example my ATI SB450 audio card (0x437b1002) doesn't work so great with it...
I'm sure with some work this will be the best HDEF audio driver available though...

It works great for me.

[andyvand]

It works great for me.
You're lucky... severe distortion and sometimes even echo on ALC861-VD...
I've checked the source and I haven't found a clue on fixing that...
My solution was thus self-patched AppleHDA...

[erick2red]

Works perfectly, even update to 0.2.2 version, with prefpane.

This is the only way to have sound working on my Toshiba X205-SLI6 laptop with ALC 268
0.2.2 w/ prefpane works nice.

I am having the same problem on my ALC268.

For now, I think I will just stick with AppleHDA.kext and HDAEnabler.kext

[Drizzt_Kueh]

It works ok on my Conexant cx20549 (Venice) without any complications!
Awesome!

I installed the VoodooHDA kext last night, and I now have sound in 10.5.7 on my ADI AD2000b (the sound codec on the Asus P5Q-E motherboard). I'm not sure if surround is working, but I am getting sound now, however, some things are not working like they did in 10.5.6. When I use the volume wheel on my keyboard, the system sound doesn't make the little sound when the volume goes up and down, and the volume wheel doesn't actually lower or raise the volume. I went through all the selections in Input and Output in the sound settings and I couldn't figure out what to do. Sound works, but the only way I can raise or lower it is from the sound panel (the icon in the task bar doesn't work either).

Thank you for this.
Now all of the soundcard is working on my P5B-Plus. It is ADI1988.
Digital Out works also that's good for my digital monitor speakers.

[WinLinMac01]

Umm....will this finally enable audio output on a AD1984 audio chipset?

[SportsGuy]

I have Vanilla, and these are my two sound things in device manager:

High Definition Audio Device
Realtek High Definition Audio

so... would this work for me?

[ludacrisvp]

Most likely to the above 2 posters

[macwars]

Someone there who testet it with Gigabyte GA-965-DS3 (ALC888) ?

I installed mac OS Retail 10.5 yesterday and updated it to 10.5.7
Everything works fine but there is no Sound now.
The ALC888Audio.mpk works till 10.5.6 but not on 10.5.7 so what can i do now?

[demigod]

ALC880: line-in,line-out and mic working.. first time line-in working..awesome work.

keep up good work Voodoo Team and thanks for notification

[E.C.H.O]

i have very very funny(for you guys) and irritating (for me) problem....i have 2 sound cards ALC888 (onboard on intel DG31PR) and
Creative sound-blaster live!

I also have a dual boot with Vista...in Vista, only the Creative soundblaster works, but on OS X, ONLY ON 10.5.2 theCreative works..BUT NO MATTER WHAT version of OS X i have, the onboard just DOESN'T work..will this make my ALC888 start functioning...

[charlie56]

Thank You. This has got my sound on the HP nx6310 working 100%. Microphone, headphones and speaker. This laptop is now for my purposes 100% functional and fast - running 10.5.7.

[msingh]

The mic and line in do not work.

I have inputs showing up. Volume is turned up to max. Nothing gets recorded.

I am using the frontpanel ports on a Dell Optiplex 745.

I'm having some issues with my AD1984. I get crackling/distortion when listening to music in itunes or songbird.. but its not constant. Usually happens at the beginning of a song, but it won't happen again after the first time. I can play a song once, then when I go to play it again there is no crackling.

I did install this new Voodoohda.kext but it doesn't seem to have fixed anything.

Edit: after reinstalling Voodoohda.kext using kexthelper all is well on the sound front. :]
