I and AutumnRain rewrited VoodooHDA to get fully working driver.
The sources available at sourceforge


First of all read information from THeKiNG about correct Pin Config

Tricks
1. Set correct type for internal microphone
<string>0x90a70120</string> -- Internal Analog (red digit=7)
<string>0x90a6e140</string> -- Internal Digital (red digit=6)
2. Place all inputs in different groups - blue digit above. -- no needed for driver v2.5 and above
3. If you driver works then set Verbose to 0 to clean system.log.
Instruction what to do else will be followed...
4. If you have two sound cards, for example other one is HDMI output on Video card then made info.plist - Obsolete for 2.8.0

5. Trick by Trauma

6. If you hear output sound in input channel (ordinary for Realtek chips), named Larsen effect, you can make karaoke or exclude the effect by disabling input monitor. See discussion at post 490 and result in 496. -Obsolete for 2.8.0
7. About multichannel read post #586 and discussins around.
8. If you have delays with sound look post 990.
9. Some problem with sound quality may be caused by wrong busspeed or wrong speedstep. Use good bootloader!

Advantages vs AppleHDA
1. More easy to patch
2. More inputs/outputs working
3. VoodooHDA has no processing so sound is more native, more clear.

Hey, i am the maintainer of that project, what do you need to know exactly? Basically you can make any modifications to it and if they could be useful for all please consider sending me the patch so i can commit it to the Google code trunk.

Cheers

EDITED 28-08-2009
Information below is for previous version.

What the kext do?
It reads information from its info.plist to change widgets properties.
Only written properties will be changed, all others remains as is.
If I wrote

It means that for Node 14 I will to change [PinDefault] to 0x01811010 (LineIn), Type of the Node will be 4 = PinComplex, and the node has no next connections.
Node 15 will be LineOut with one connection to Node 5.
And so on.

With this driver I got my Sigmatel9228 working with all outputs but I still have no internal mic while I have it with AppleHDA.
Solved!
 getdump.zip ( 1.92K ) Number of downloads: 709

well,

it seems that it's don't work for me or my values are incorrect, the more I inject values the less port are found

some thing i want to know it is if all value are decimal, or some are hex ??

and if the pinconfig are a moded, just like for applehda or if they are the original from the codec dump ?

ps: can you give your codec dump, maybe this will help me to understand, thanks

OK!
Look
code2.dump is original Ubuntu dump of codec address 2.
HDAdump is original VoodooHDA dump
HDAdump8 is VoodooHDA dump after my corrections.
 CodecDumps.zip ( 10.65K ) Number of downloads: 488

I also introduce changing of Cap (pin.cap in sources) but still not used it.

Some strange observation.
In AppleHDA driver I got all output without nodes 16-4.
In VoodooHDA driver this chain give me new LineOut. It works!
Also AppleHDA maintains no more the 7 connectors in/out. VoodooHDA more!
You probably need to write good "conns" to make this driver working.

You are still lonely user with KP. I have no information to comment.

EDITED: Did you really try to use my NodesToPatche structure with your codec? Yes, it is wrong! My patches are reliable only for my codec.

I understand that the driver is very limited. It works only with LineOuts and External Microphones. No LineIn, no InternalMic, no HeadPhones.

Very bad. The program must be enhanced.
I need other devices


It is not warning. It is terrible.

Mine mistake... works

EDIT:
Well with no patching I get one output working (Headphones) on ALC888 EP35-DS3L

With patching:
If U don't add the Pin Config for every VHDevice U will start loose your inputs/outputs because driver is auto creating Config for other VHDevices and if two last digits are the same U will loose that two outputs/inputs. So last two digits in Config must be like in AppleHDA(so max 9 devices)

So for VHDevices I was not using I added Config=40f000f0 so that VHDevices got DISABLED (for others took from linux codec dump.)
Got: Headphones, 3 LIne Out ports/Line In, Mic all works
I have SPDIF Out listed but of course it is not working.

Could you show us your final info.plist?

OK...
 plists.zip ( 3.21K ) Number of downloads: 904

 ALC888_codecdump.txt ( 10.72K ) Number of downloads: 558

 Voodoo_NIDS.txt ( 2.38K ) Number of downloads: 558


Inside the zip U have two Info.plist files

1. with ConfigData for devices like in linux codec dump:
that gave me 3 Line Out/SPDIF Out - Mic/Line In (Other devices I disabled with Config=0x40f000f0)

2. with mine modifications for naming that 3 Line Out ports, so now I have
Headphones/Speaker/Line Out/SPDIF Out - Mic/Line In

I did a modification to Line Out so I can easily see a diff when using one of them in Sound Pref

Modification for naming is done pretty simply:
Config=0x01(0)14430 -> Line Out
Config=0x01(2)14430 -> Headphones

Numbers by Devices are:
0 - Line Out
1 - Speaker
2 - Headphones
4 - SPDIF Out
8 - Line In
9 - AUX
A - Mic In
C - SPDIF In
D - Digital Other In
F - Other

Now mine VoodooHDA has the same outputs like patched AppleHDA just SPDIF is not working.

VoodooHDA is connecting nodes just like ALSA, and that is good for Laptops because U have auto switching of Headphones/Speaker

Config=0x011144(30) -> Speaker
Config=0x012144(31) -> Headphones

but for Desktops on Rear Panel is good to have them separately coz U can use agregate devices and make 5.1 or any other sound config, and Config for Desktops should be:

Config=0x011144(30) -> Speaker
Config=0x012144(40) -> Headphones

Witch gives us max 9 devices in OS X
P.S: U can look inside VoodooNIDS.txt file to know what I am talking about

Auto switching for desktops is useful when it is added for External Front devices (onboard pins) if your PC case have them.
So If U look inside mine ALC888 codec dump from Linux U can see Node 0x1b with Pin Default 0x02214c20
This is an External front HeadPhones We can find on motherboard pins

For Rear Headphones I made Config: 0x01214430
so we change two last digits to 0x02214c(31), and we have switching from Rear Headphones to Front Headphones

If it is final result you can change

to zero to have no debug messages in system.log

I am not sure that it is mistake

It must be 0x014B6160 - eight digits. Your SPDIF doesn't work?

Yea... mistake. I will test when I came home. Thx for debug info.

And one thing, basically auto switching for desktops is useful when it is added for External Front devices (onboard pins) if your PC case have them :-)

The topic updated. Now I have fully working VoodoHDA with my Sigmatel 9228.

This is my info.plist

Thus I have two internal microphones
node 19 - 0x90a60150 - Internal Digital at group 5 (stereo)
node 12 - 0x90a79140 - Internal Analog at group 4 (mono)
The digital has low sensitivity but it also works.

Thanks to your modified Voodoo kext, I've managed to get audio output working on my AD2000B. But audio input is a mess. On any audio input device (front/rear mic, or line-in) I'm basically getting what sounds like digital noise. The labels match the codec dump, and I've taken the liberty of disabling all device nodes that aren't the ones I need, so I'm not sure what's going on as it should be working. Would you have any useful insight on the matter?

The info.plist I'm trying to use:

Please make a VoodooHDA dump
getdump >AD2000dump.txt
It contains more information then Linux dump.
As I see you make all Mics in different groups. It is good but CDin at node 24 sits also in group 2.
I want to look chains in your dump.
Don't need to disable outputs if you test microphones.

Thanks slice. I have tried this on my wind. Codec: Realtek ALC1200, Vendor Id: 0x10ec0888 (I am not sure what is up with that but my comprehension of audio is vague at best). I lost headphone/speaker auto-switching so I tried patching the plist. Currently working mic, speaker and headphones, manual switching, under "unknown" in my sound prefs. When I enable my line-in I loose mic. I provided a voodooHDA dump below.

 ALC888_ALC1200__dump.txt ( 44.86K ) Number of downloads: 196

At the current version of VoodooHDA (I think it is not final) we have no input source autodetect.
As you have internal microphone and jack at the same group it is a problem for the driver.

Try to make nid 24 and 25 to be in different group. But I don't know what to do with mixer nid 11. Disable mic connections?
<key>conns</key>
<integer>29</integer>
Not sure.

This is your dump

Look updated topic

Thanks Slice, I'll check this out l8r when I am home and report back.

@slice: a "small" help?
I used to have a patched AppleHDA from 10.5.6 which had an altogether different pinconfig than from the dump i got from linux or vista. but, it used to work and so i did not do much research.
but now in snow, i tried this voodooHDA as applehda always panic.
attached is my dump using the getdump utility along with the plist i made.

Now my problem: the internal mic does not show up (and no mute. this is ok)
I have 2 items in sound output pref panel: Speakers (which switch with the headfone jack) and Digital out
I only have one input: External Mic.

i tried pin config from the dump (0x95a6912e), manually found one (0xb7a6912e) from the pin config guides and also from the old patched AppleHDA (0x90a60370). they are all not working. the int mic never show up. any help?
