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.

I’ve an intel iMac that can run 10.5.6 but without sound. The sound out is grayed out and the mute box checked. If I run the 10.5.8 combo update it fixes the sound but kernel panics occur at start up. After running your 10.5.8 update drivers, the kernel panics are gone but so again is the sound. Can you help? Thanks!

These drivers are for Hackbooks/Hackintoshes, not real Macs. Anyway, try upgrading to either 10.5.7 or Snow Leopard to solve your issue.

Hi: everyone, A little assistance is needed.
I have Dell Inspiron 1525, and I have installed 10.5.6 through iPC than updated to 10.5.7 then to 10.5.8. After that I installed Snow Leopard on this machine, Updated 10.6 to 10.6.1 then to 10.6.2 then to 10.6.3 and now I am running 10.6.4. Everything is working only few problem are there. Audio is one of them.
My audio is working through VoodooHDA, which has many limitations, I tried Apple HDA(as described here), but it Killed my Hackintosh. But through windows 7 and mac drive, i restored everything and no I am back.
Any suggestion for that, how can I get AppleHDA working. ANd one more question, whether the Audio patchs for 10.5.6 or 7 will work here in snow leopard or not?

ok then – awaiting guide … :(
June 9th, 2010 at 5:39 pm
could you PLEASE email me the required files at least – until now i got t working from the media buttons – Line IN and Line OUT – but NOTHING in the system profiler :( … so I’m at about 80% – i have sount but no software control over it … i used AppleHDA found a on torrentmac.org ISO installation – Snow 10.6.2 Universal
June 11th, 2010 at 12:34 pm
Until the guide is up, the included file will work just fine. The only change is the addition of support for Line-In and the audio continues to work after waking from sleep.

does THIS method work on SNOW LEO ?
June 9th, 2010 at 5:19 pm
No, this method is for Leopard only. I will be releasing a similar guide for Snow Leopard within the next week. I have found an improved kext and now just need to write the guide for it.

Sorry guys, I’ve been super busy lately. To anyone who still needs assistance: please repost your question (a simply copy and paste will suffice) and I will answer.

Do you know if this, your original post files, will work on an iDeneb 10.5.8 install? It’s am IBM R60 with an AC’ 97 sound card. How can I track responses on your blog?
April 24th, 2010 at 9:54 am
It is worth a shot as the AppleHDA is compatible with a variety of sound cards. If not, check out http://insanelymac.com for compatibility with your card.
