[SOLVED] PrefPane "Can't map Memory" error
« on: April 27, 2009, 05:34:02 PM »
Hi!
I got VoodooHDA.kext to load on my Asus P5B deluxe (AD1988). Inputs and outputs display almost correctly in Sound preferences.

However when I'm trying to open VoodooHDA preferences pane I get an error "Can't map Memory" and there is a "ERROR" under preference pane title. When I try to chage any of the sliders I get "Can't connect to StructMethod to send commands" error. When I'm trying to exit the preference pane my whole System Preferences crashes.
solved: Use kext supplied with prefpane.

Furthermore, when trying to launch voodoohdahelper I get the following messages:
Code: [Select]
Found a device of class VoodooHDADevice: IOService:/AppleACPIPlatformExpert/PCI0@0/AppleACPIPCI/pci8086,284b@1B/VoodooHDADevice

settings file path: /Volumes/Widget??/Library/Preferences/VoodooHDA.settings
error: couldn't find settings file
error: can't read settings

I find it strange, because my home dir is "/Volumes/Widget/" not "/Volumes/Widget??/".
solved: run as root

Any help would be appreciated...

You need to install the kext that is included with the prefpane. If you think you've installed it, you haven't  ;)
