Won't work... about carillon HOT 24 CLOSED

Now, it is sometimes working, and sometimes not :) Weird... :s

from carillon.

Thanks, I'm glad you like the idea! :) I was very unhappy with other solutions, so I decided to make my own.

My best guess is that the audio kext hasn't been loaded yet when it tries to play the sound. In v1.1b, it attempts to load AppleHDA.kext before playing the sound. Are you using this kext to get the sound working on your machine, or are you using something else? Like HDAEnabler or something similar?

Can you install v1.1b and check the log after booting? (no need to uninstall first)
https://github.com/nicoSWD/Carillon/releases/tag/v1.1b

It should either say "Error loading AppleHDA.kext" or "Loaded AppleHDA.kext".

Thank you for your time and report!

from carillon.

Yes, I am using Tolade's HDAEnabler1.kext…

I released a version specifically for HDAEnabler.kext. Please give it a try.

https://github.com/nicoSWD/Carillon/releases/tag/v1.3b

from carillon.

If it doesn't work, please post the log. :)

from carillon.

THANKS!!! now testing... :)

from carillon.

It's sometimes (1 out of 5 like) working and most of the time it's not...

I even changed the kext name (was HDA Enabler1.kext) to HDAEnabler.kext - re-inject it - repair permissions... but no chance...

now trying to boot with HDAEnabler=Yes in my boot.plist...

from carillon.

Weird...

Can you open Console.app and search for errors containing Carillon? Does it say the kext is loaded or not?

Thanks again for your time! Finally someone willing to help me with this. :)

from carillon.

The name of the kext isn't that important, since the system uses the identifier, which is com.kext.HDAEnabler.

What may be important is the location, though. Is it in your /Extra folder, or in /S/L/E/?

from carillon.

It's in S/L/E...

And the console says : 10/3/13 6:51:56.696 PM Carillon[72]: HALDefaultDevice::GetDefaultDevice: server returned 0 for the default device, so picking one locally

from carillon.

And it's not working again...

from carillon.

4 restarts : first two working, the other two are not :) ?

from carillon.

This is crazy haha. The times when it actually works, does the log show "Loaded HDAEnabler1.kext"?

from carillon.

I released a debug version here:

https://github.com/nicoSWD/Carillon/releases/tag/v1.4b

Can you try this and post all related log entries from the Console?

Thank you! :)

from carillon.

Hello There, I was out...

from carillon.

So this is the output after the debug version (installed and restart - working now) - i will try another restart after writing this message...

10/3/13 7:05:34.734 PM Carillon[72]: HALDefaultDevice::GetDefaultDevice: server returned 0 for the default device, so picking one locally

10/4/13 3:04:57.921 PM sudo[485]: root : TTY=unknown ; PWD=/private/tmp/PKInstallSandbox.RhrSvq/Scripts/com.nicoswd.carillon.com.nicoswd.Carillon.pkg.uuJd6C ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/sbin/chown root:wheel /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.nicoswd.Carillon.plist

and after the restart :

not working, and same entries after the restart... :(

from carillon.

I have one suggestion : I have changed some timeouts for faster shutdown and reboot, is it maybe causing this?

Here are the terminal commands I used for faster shutdown :

sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.coreservices.appleevents ExitTimeOut -int 1

sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.securityd ExitTimeOut -int 1

sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder ExitTimeOut -int 1

sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.diskarbitrationd ExitTimeOut -int 1

sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.coreservices.appleid.authentication ExitTimeOut -int 1

sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.SystemStarter ExitTimeOut -int 1

sudo defaults write /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.SystemStarter ExitTimeOut -int 1

Hi There...

from carillon.

Any Solutions for me? :)

from carillon.

Heya!

Sorry, I haven't forgotten about it. I'm still working on another release at the moment, but don't have much time unfortunately.

I don't think your timeout changes have to do with it, but I'm not 100% sure.

from carillon.

here is the latest console output :

10/12/13 7:27:30.989 PM Carillon[72]: HALDefaultDevice::GetDefaultDevice: server returned 0 for the default device, so picking one locally

from carillon.

Hey There, just FYI, it started working on Mavericks, every time I reboot :)

from carillon.

Awesome! Not sure I can explain why, but I'm glad it works.

Thank you!
