This is confusing to me (with or without the imac9,1 patch for the imac) there is still entries in /proc/asound

but when I do: sudo /usr/sbin/alsactl store /usr/sbin/alsactl: save_state:1502: No soundcards found...

Check /dev/snd/* files.

Thank you. I ended up missing an entry in /etc/ude/rules.d/alsa-* (the devices were present,but in /dev/* instead of /dev/snd/*

I this a software issue, or is this because the kernel is missing something important in patch_realtek.c ?

I've moved different things around in patch_realtek.c but still no speaker sound or headphone, not even the sound during boot when the module is being loaded.

Then it sounds like a different problem.

yeah devices in the wrong location(hopefully just this simple)

Also what is the best way to find PCI SSID?

lspci -nv

00:08.0 0403: 10de:0ac0 (rev b1)        Subsystem: 10de:cb79        Flags: bus master, 66MHz, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 17        Memory at d3480000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]        Capabilities: <access denied>        Kernel driver in use: HDA Intel        Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel

under codec#0:(I have)

Codec: Realtek ALC889A Address: 0 Vendor Id: 0x10ec0885 Subsystem Id: 0x106b4900 Revision Id: 0x100103 No Modem Function Group found

but with lspci -nnv

the subsystem is 10de:cb79 but is Subsystem Id: 0x106b4900

The former is PCI SSID and the latter is the codec SSID. They are often different.

Now that i've realized udev was not creating the device, everything has changed(back to the beginning with this one) so hopefully, by the end of the day one option in there will work. I'll let you know if I find anything interesting(hopefully).

Alright after configuring udev, sound is finally working internal speakers and headphones here's the diff(no mac 9,1 patch)

I'll try imac 24, and then add the imac 91 patch to see the differences.

As for quality damn this sh^t is loud, when plugging in headphones you need to change to channel 2 for internal speakers to mute and transition to headphones.

O.K. after changing different options in patch_realtek.c (mp3 option imac24 imac9,1)

every option works,except imac24 configuration(no sound at all) mbp3 works good(especially if imac9,1 is not patched into the kernel yet) imac9,1 work's perfectly = its loud, plugging headphones(mutes internal speakers), microphone(don't know) I don't have any apps yet to test.(still need to build them)

As for the main issue: besides being an impatient drunk I didnt follow the instructions at http://cblfs.cross-lfs.org/index.php/ALSA_Utilities for 15-alsa.rules which was putting all of the created devices in /dev/* instead of /dev/snd/*

Overall mbp3 options is good for now, (this way people can enjoy there machines) but the imac91.patch works perfectly.

Thank you for helping me out.
