Here's my modified AppleHDA.kext as reference

Can you / or anyone else upload this AppleHDA.kext again ?
I tried to unzip it on 4 machines ( 3 macs , pc ) and all of them failed :(

Well at least someone tell me how to re-map microphone input to the regular red mic-in port?

Can't help you there m8, I'm not using mic, sorry.

Got the same problem. Was very happy about finally getting sound to work, but noticed my microphone didn't work. Found a solution just today that it actually works (although I have no idea why this works for my mic, it sounds like it shouldn't), if I plug it in on the other side of green "entry" which is a lightblue I think (not at home atm), then I plug it back into the pink/red for microphone and it works.

I accidentally found it out as I thought I should try to use microphone in all other entries and see if it for some odd reason works (I am no sound guru, those who are probably are laughing at me now as I suppose its impossible :D ).

However this is not a solution Im happy about, replug the mic to lightblue then back where it should be each time I turn on my comp.... Also, this "replugging" for some odd reason messes up the volume, so when I speak it just gets louder and louder until the other person on skype throws his/her headset of :)

Still searching for the magical solution.

After trying several unzip programs, Stuffit Expander was the one that successfully extracted the kext for me.

the link above works with the default unzip program in Mac

I got an error in safari after downloaded, saying something about not able to extract Stuffit archive. I too had to install Stuffit. But no big deal, theres a trial :)

Got microphone working and with reported perfect sound from several people I forced to talk to me through Skype ;)

            }

Found this one at: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/lof...p/t181509.html
Replaced my Device HDEF with this code, then used kexttool to once again try a kext from the package:
http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...=post&id=53274
Which I found on:
http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/ind...&#entry1121902

I used the kext called "3out2in HDA headphone" in the subfolder "series of LegacyHDA 888 (ALC888)". I have not tried the others but have no need as its fully working for me now :)

Still had mormegils AppleHDA and not the default SL AppleHDA (as I threw it away when mormegils worked for sound atleast). So no idea if osx AppleHDA works, but this one does.

Now it looks like:

Internal Microphone---|---Built-in Microphone
Line In--------------|---Built-in Line input
Digital In------------|--- Built-in Digital Input

I also got a new checkbox which I didn't have in Leopard, saying "Use ambient noise reduction" and it was checked by default.

Finally finished hunting.

Woops, I thought you asked if someone could upload "his" AppleHDA.kext :)

I upped mine so it will be for ALC889a specific. Sorry about that.

Wow thanks man :D i'll try it when i'm home tonight. Just to make sure, this should be done in dsdt.aml right?? Just to make sure you know :P
