Mic always on Fix For voodooHDA.pref

[macabuzer]

When I try to install VooDooHDA.prefPane I get the following error "could not install (null) preferences pane

I did not get that error. I installed with the option for all Users. This is the file I used

VoodooHDA.prefPane.zip

Your welcome. There are more controls in the voodooHDA pane to increase volume(PCM) and for mic and line in levels.

Hello macabuzer,
it is now working here, but very low loudness... I set everything to maximum. Using FN +, inside prefpane, inside application... is there another possibility?

If I use your linked prefpane, I have no button to activate more options. They are greyed out, only PCM is working.
If I use the prefpane that I have linked, I have this button, but it seems that only PCM is saved...

There is no Button labeled "More Options" in the pref I provided. the only sliders available are iMix and PCM....set iMix to a value of 0% and PCM to a value of 100%
ONLY USE THE FILES I PROVIDED. THIS HAS A 100% WORKING HISTORY FOR ALL S10 USERS WHO FOLLOW THE GUIDE!

This seems like a great fix but I can't seem to get the helper app working ... mic is still on after reboots and wakeups. I tried running the script in /Library/VoodooHDA directly and got the following result:

Code: Select all

joe$ /Library/VoodooHDA/voodoohdahelper | more
Found a device of class VoodooHDADevice: IOService:/AppleACPIPlatformExpert/PCI0@0/AppleACPIPCI/HDEF@1B/VoodooHDADevice

settings file path: /Users/joe^P/Library/Preferences/VoodooHDA.settings
error: couldn't find settings file
error: can't read settings


I should mention that my settings file is in my Library/Preferences folder, but my user name is joe, not joe^P. Can't figure out where that ^P came from ... did I install something wrong?

EDIT: I tried the command again without piping the output into more and the ^P disappeared, could be a red herring. Turned on all permissions so anyone could read that file, still no dice.

Dont forget to adjust the settings in the voodooHDA pref pane under System Preference...set iMix to 0% and PCM to 100% values
Scripts do not run after wake...
also do not forget to auto start the helper at login option
