Near Perfect Audio With Latest AppleHDA

Volume Error

So there have been many updates to the audio since the 1525_codec and the AppleHDAPatcher that were included in the ever-so-popular drivers pack. Since then the Internal Microphone has been enabled as well as the External Microphone, switching to both the left and right headphone jacks for headphone use (just not both at the same time…yet), the sliders for the Internal Mic and External Mic which allows for less background noise when using the Microphone, and all while the Internal Speaker works beautifully. But of course you can’t get these updates with the previous codec dump so it is time for a long awaited update to the site.

To get the new audio kext working, you will need Kext Helper and AppleHDA.kext which can be found here. Just delete ALCinject.kext and AppleAzalia.kext beforehand and then load the new AppleHDA.kext with Kexhelper and restart. Upon restarting, you should find everything working great.

    Hey Thomas,
    Any chance you could give me some hints on how to get the following audio card working?

    00:1b.0 Audio device [0403]: Intel Corporation 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller [8086:293e] (rev 03)

    I have tried virtually every kext i can think of and have several active threads over on InsanelyMac forum on this issue. It seems like it should be trivial to get it working but for some reason it is not.

    My current guesse is that I am missing the com.apple.driver.AppleHDAController. Any idea where I can find this?

    Additional info is here:
    http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=97201&st=180&start=180

    Last post in that thread.

    Best regards,
    Gasher

    To which two files are you referring? And if by hot keys you mean media keys then it should not effect audio playback as they are controlled by two totally different kexts.

  4. dlvndr Says:

    i tried to find these 2 files but i didnt find them firstly my sound is working well but when i istall the hot keys then it went to mute ..any help?

  5. Nick Says:

    Yes, i have a sigmatel 9205, but for some reason nothings working. i followed all the instructions i could find step by step carefully. Nothing.

  6. Thomas Says:

    This guide was for the Inspiron 1525 with the Sigmatel 9205 Codec. If your Inspiron 1521 does not use Sigmatel 9205 then this fix will not work.

  7. Nick Says:

    Hey, i just tried richards method and STILL nothing. i’ve been at this for days. i’m using iatkos v7 and a Dell Inspiron 1521. ive tried so many different kext files and guides i’ve lost track. Nothing will work for me.
    please help
    thank you in advance.
