            }

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.

Yes, dsdt.aml. Its for ALC888. Good luck and hope it works just as good for you as it worked on my computer.

megavolkan · #3 09-15-2009, 06:55 PM

Hey, i've tried to insert the code into my dsdt but i cannot compile dsdt.dsl file with iaslme

it always gives error:

Code:

/Users/volkan/Desktop/Hackintosh/dsdt.dsl  5584: 
Error    4063 -

and something followed like:

Code:

 Object does not exist ^  (\_SB.MEM._CRS._Y0E._BAS)

i even tried the windows version iasl.exe gave the same errors.

Any ideas? I've attached the dsl and the log file.
Thanks

Trograin · #4 09-16-2009, 06:45 AM

Not sure tbh.

I tried iaslme with my dsdt.dsl and it worked, then tried yours and it didn't work. Have never used iaslme before to compile but using Macloader_SL. I tried to compile your dsdt.dsl in that one and it did generate me an dsdt.aml. Wether its working I can't say.

Attaching the dsdt.aml I compiled out of your dsdt.dsl, and also attaching my own dsdt.dsl if you want to look at it.

megavolkan · #5 09-16-2009, 07:12 AM

Thanks a lot man, i'll try it as soon as i can

lemn · #6 09-16-2009, 09:37 AM

could anyone help me for adi1988 card? this guide is for alc soundcard, and since i have a different on i can't find the relevant sections in my dsdt.dsl file. thanks.

Trograin · #7 09-16-2009, 07:05 PM

Sorry, not me. I don't have one of those cards. The dsdt info is specific to the card you got, so might be good to see if you can find a thread with people having same card, as they can test etc. Or maybe someone here got one of those too.... not me though

monsieur.d · #8 09-18-2009, 09:34 AM

I followed the steps as described in the first post and got sound working (don't need 5.1). Also, everything shows just fine on System Profiler.

The problem is that although "Headphones" shows in System Profiler, I can't choose it as output.

My motherboard is a Gigabyte P35C-DS3R, using Snow Leopard 10.6.1 (the same thing happened in 10.6)

I don't need a pre-made solution. If someone could at least point me to where I should edit (DSDT, plist, etc), it would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

System profiler is just cosmetics. What you see in Sound Preferences is all that matters.

Thanks. Any hint of what I have to edit to get headphones to work?
