I write to you from newly restored SL.

My gfx string worked fine in SL without any extra kexts, every single time. Only after applying the new DSDT it freaked out.

I am not that confident I used the right AppleHDA with the info.plists you provided. I thought best to boot first to see changes, then try with correct AppleHDA. But when I simply copied the DSDT I didnt repair perms.

So, back to SL, will mod the vanilla AppleHDA, replace dsdt.aml you compiled and test.

I would really appreciate it if you were to fix my untouched dsdt.dsl and recompile it. I'm fear of having made a wrong entry that makes errors or something, and would feel more confident about it

But in the meantime I will try this one to check compatibility with a fresh vanilla boot.

thanksssssss :)

UPDATE:

Yay! I survived the reboot! :) - No audio, but at least Audio ID shows up as 12 and not zero. During verbose boot there is no indication of audio kext. I did mod applehda with your plists, will now try your 1.7.1a2 patched for alc889a from page 3

UPDATE 2: Nope, exactly the same. Still no audio devices in system preferences, no warning in verbose. Legacy kexts only contain plist inside right? Off to try vanilla HDA with legacy...

If you use tmongkol's legacy kexts, make sure to edit the plist and replace all occurrences of "LayoutID" to 12. You don't need the HDAenabler.

Sorry to be annoying... Back to Leo, tried another combo, but it KP'ed, and always panics if I try to repair - "repair package" thread. So I'm screwed. Tried with Kext Utilities, third boot round managed to finish without KP. But Snow is gone.

Back to format and restore. I did get all devices mapped! It seems when I manage to show mapped devices, snow kp's and dies.

I'm going to start again, I must be close, just to be sure, I should try your dsdt, legacy kext, no HDA Enabler, and vanilla AppleHDA. Is this right?

hi !
I also have GA-P35-DS3R

I've installed SL and everything works, but I have no sound. no audio input or output device :(

Could you please point me to the right direction to work this one out?

Sure, post number one of this very thread. Did you try the steps?

moremegil,

Re-installed fresh with your dsdt, vanillaHDA and legacyHDA kext. I can now see all devices

Intel High Definition Audio:

Device ID: 0x10250146
Audio ID: 12
Available Devices:
Internal Microphone:
Connection: Internal
Speaker:
Connection: Internal
External Microphone:
Connection: 1/8-Inch Jack

but still no audio. have same result without editing LayoutID.

Some of the LayoutID's were 889, do I change these to 12 too? I did do it.

Gurru, I've added a small guide so try again and post back with result. Go step by step and let me know if I need to adjust a thing or two.

Good luck lad!

Great stuff man!

Question: So you dont need Legacy kexts?

Off to review my dsdt again!

So you downloaded tmongkol's legacy kext. There should be a few in the package. Only choose one. Then, edit all LayoutID's from 889 or 885 to 12.

Yes, I have, I only tried the 3out2in HDA and analog for 889 and 885.

And yeah, one at the time, since they are all named the same

Once I tried all layouID's ( "0", "65647 something", and "889"'s)

In Snow's dsl he has two HDEF entires, I only have one.

Where he reads

I have;

The other entry is exactly the same

So should I copy this in and recomplie?

And should I try with or without legacy?

(In the donwloaded tutorial folder containing the legacy kext archives, there is an HDAenabler there...)
