LightWarrior Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 in the meantime, I'm going to give voodooHDA a shot... What threw me off with voodoohda was that in addition to the voodoohda.kext there is also a VoodooHDA.prefPane, VoodooHdaSettingsLoader.app and perhaps some other files... what do I do with extra files? So to recap is all I need to do?: 1. Install voodooHDA.kext and applehdadisabler.kext to extra/extensions... 2. then run myfix and reboot? 3. Potentially edit a .plist if i get funky sound... is that it? Is there a specific source you would recommend to download voodooHDA and applehdadisabler.kext? there is a lot of conflicting info out there so I want to weed out any confusion. Thanks!

Administrators Hervé Posted August 21, 2014 Administrators Share Posted August 21, 2014 That's it for the installation, assuming you have a myHack build... Download sections of this very site or Hackintoshosx.com are usually good places and, of course, the VoodooHDA repository on sourceforge. But it doesn't matter where you get Voodoo audio kext from, what matters is that you get and test different versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightWarrior Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 So the other files like "prefane" and "settings loader" are irrelevant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted August 21, 2014 Administrators Share Posted August 21, 2014 Not necessary. Now, will you get on with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightWarrior Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 K, progress is being made... I just chose a random VoodooHDA from searching Hackintoshosx.com it's 2.8.0... here is the source: http://www.hackintoshosx.com/files/file/144-for-alc888-voodoohdaa2-8-0/ Says its for ALC888, curious are there a bunch of hacked versions of Voodoohda out there for specific hardware? is this not an official voodoohda? I think I'm about to try one from sourcefourge... here is the status: 1. Installed Voodoohda.kext and applehdadisabler.kext into extra/extensions 2. Ran MyFix with MyHack ( yes this as MyHack install of OSX) 3. Reboot System Info now displays this under audio: But still no output from the line out, I tested with a speakers and headphones. The interesting thing that also is happening is that whhn I play Video or audio files, its unable to play them... with youtube videos they start to play (with no sound) but the video hiccups immediately and is unable to play it. The files on the hard disk wont play at all, Not soundwise, but not one bit, the file just sits at 0:00 This thing here appeared in the taskbar, but you cannot turn the dial up or down with the mouse pointer. Here is an example of the audio files not playing in Quicktime or Itunes in addition to the frozen youtube video. Now that I installed Applehdadisabler.kext I assume the next step is just continue installing/running myfix/reboot a bunch of different versions of voodoohda.kext until one works. any thoughts?

I LOVE THIS FORUM! ----------------------------------- Download VoodooHDA_V286_MAV.pkg.zip Thats the one that worked for me I've tested the outputs and inputs... green front and back output work... but only the pink (microphone in) on the front works... the back does not... any thoughts on a fix for that?
