10.6.2 with VT1708B audio - not working

[m3s_4ev3r]

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.

Remove and backup applehda somewhere, then install the voodoohda from here. (http://www.box.net/shared/j2a6arm60b)

Just tryed the VoodooHDA from your link, it doesn't give any input, with the one from my link you'll have Mic-input.

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!

Try this (http://www.infinitemac.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=864&d=1256801192) kext.

I am using it with the following BIOS Settings:

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/index.php?showtopic=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?
