Mic always on Fix For voodooHDA.pref

[macabuzer]

Ok so i recently updated to the S10 Enabler 1.1.16 and the mic WORKS! In order to gain control of the mic you need to install voodooHda.pref pane
The only problem with the mic working is that the mic is always on and feeding to the monitor. You may say, not my mic! But it is on. Grab a pair of headphones and you will hear the mic being monitored.
You can turn this off in the voodooHDA.pref pane in System Preferences , but the values do not get saved on wake or reboot!
This was very annoying going into the System preferences on every boot. So here is a trick to stop that hassle!
This is HOW-TO, but first remember...........
*DO NOT INSTALL ANY KEXT FILES*
*DO NOT INSTALL ANY KEXT FILES*
*DO NOT INSTALL ANY KEXT FILES*
*DO NOT INSTALL ANY KEXT FILES*

How to:
0. Install VoodooHDA.PrefPane
1. Open System Prefs and navigate to VoodooHDA pane....correct settings(iMix set to 0%) and (PCM set to 100%)
2. Download voodooHDA helper
3. Copy the application Voodoo HDA Helper to /Applications/Utilities/
4. Copy the folder VoodooHDA to Your_OS_X_disk/Library/
5. Add application Voodoo HDA Helper to list of login items in
System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items
I selected to hide @ Login

The mic changes will only take affect after Login takes place when the script loads ; so you will hear it as your computer boots until your desktop loads
enjoy!!!

nice Macabuzer... I might bite the bullet and update my 1.1.9(last properly functioning internal mic) to the new 1.1.14

Have you installed voodooHDA pref pane?
After installed - you need to adjust the setting in the preference pane.
The iMix setting must be turned to a value of 0%

Have you installed voodooHDA pref pane?

Now I understand. Just installing your "helper" IS NOT the solution.

I need the files from here also:
http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php?topic=1204.0

I will give the latest version a try...

[apex]

Now downloaded the last file listed in the thread above (from Slice).

"Put the voodoohdahelper in /usr/bin and install the prefPane for all users.."

installing the kext, no problem, but where is the prefpane???
In the folder BUILD/Release I found this files:

- VoodooHDA.kext
- VoodooHDAConfigLoader
- voodoohdahelper

Please HELP!

I know, I do not know what I do....

After installing VoodooHDA.kext, my system is crashing on start.

Tried to remove it, was successfully, but still crashing.

[apex]

I removed the installed VoodooHDA.kext. I found this manual here:
http://ihackintosh.blogspot.com/2008/10 ... c-osx.html

This did not help. Still screen of death.

Then I started the system via InstallHD, mount the S10Enabler Package and installed it via terminal using this manual:
viewtopic.php?f=33&t=4183&p=28850&hilit=terminal+Enabler.mpkg#p28850

But this seems not to regenerate the system, not it is booting very, very long and then I have again a screen of death.

-> nid 11 is input monitor

this is written in the left upper corner...

Ok, very strange and sad, but I killed the system totally! Even a new installation on the same partition did not helped.
I am to curious, but I learned very much about Terminal usage and package installation and so on.

What a nice conversation with myself.
