msi k9a2-cf audio (alc888)
I was wondering if anybody has had any luck getting sound on a msi k9a2-cf (alc888) in snow leopard. I have been trying for days without success. I have searched all over and I can't find any threads about anyone trying to get audio in snow leopard on the k9a2-cf. I have attempted patching applehda using the leopard version, patching dsdt, using the azalia kext, and using legacyhda. I got sound with voodoohda but it is so extremely distorted that it is unusable even before sleep. Everything else is working perfect if I could just get sound. If anyone has a solution or even suggestions I would highly appreciate it.
Specs: OS:Snow Leopard 10.6.2 Modbin Kernel CPU:AMD Phenom x4 9850 Black Edition MB:MSI K9A2-CF RAM: 4 GB HDD:500 GB Graphics:ATI Radeon HD 4850 Audio:Realtek ALC888 Thanks in advance! |
I've tried to install osx on the same motherboard + cpu for a month with no sucesss, what distro do you use and with what kexts?
|
Aziala
Probe it with Azalia Audio

Hello,
Forget trying to get it working with AppleHDA. I never read that someone with a amd got it working. So the only way to get it working is to install VoodooHDA or Azalia kext. Here is a VoodooHDA to get it working: http://www.kexts.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=423 Donīt forget to delete the AppleHDA, also any enabler or something like that. @ BJ_14 There is no way to install Lion on a amd in the moment because there is no kernel which is working. |
you could also try tonymac's multibeast for a more vanilla approach. Here's more info: http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2010/...ard-audio.html

so u might got lucky and u are on a nvidia chipset board (on Ati chipsets we are doomed)
and the delay infront of the sound refers to wrong bootloader /kernel combination since it is realated to the FSB detection wich was just corrected couple days ago |
wow, i'm impressed :eek: i really do have an nforce chipset, so i guess that's why. thanks about the info on the delay too, my only fix was to use that pointless boom app. i'll give voodooohda another try, because i don't really like the sound assertion errors i get with applehda :p

if it is really the problem i was thinking
update your bootloader to the latest version and go for anvs Latest legacy kernel V8 R2 and the lags should be gone also check if AMC C1E is disabled in bios |
ya i did that yesterday and i was happy because it didnt have that delay anymore. But this morning it came back... i think it had something to do with the fact that yesterday i unloaded applehda, and loaded voodoohda without restarting. Once i saw that the delay was gone i removed all the enablers and the applehda and switched to voodoohda then rebuilded caches, etc. Then this morning, delay again... Oh and about that option in the bios, i have a locked oem bios, i can only turn on or off a couple of things and AMC C1E is not one of them :(
