OS X Lion On asrock g41m vs3 rev 2.0 sound issue

[jack254718]

no sound at all. even under sound settings under system preferences there is no available sound card.

 

no sure what sound device is on the motherboard. ive checked the asrock sie for my motherboard and the specifications given are just plain useless.

 

can anyone help me at all.

[dude179]

You know the best way I found is to get a USB sound Card that supports ASIO driver Or It works on ASIO driver Such as Avid. It works great. All you have to do is plug it in install the dmg and there you have the sound. I'm Musician So it was just a coincident that I had Avid USB hardware. It works great. But before you buy make sure it does work on ASIO drivers.

ps yes the specs above are correct.

First-Go to S/L/Extensions-Delete AppleHDA.kext(This kext have conflict with VoodooHDA)

Two-Logout or Reboot

Three-Install VoodooHDA(May Be Try Another version like 2.7.{censored})one by them work for you :wink2:

Four-Rebuild kext cashes on Terminal with command:

sudo kextcache -v 1 -a i386 -a x86_64 -m /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/Extensions.mkext /System/Library/Extensions

Five-Reboot and follow step Six

Six-First boot is with flag-ignore cashes(Not get KP)

[Mrx33]

i have the same board this is the file you need

 

http://rapidshare.com/files/4127042117/VoodooHDA_Lion.kext.zip

 

tested with both lion and ml

 

it works perfect no kernel panic no ugly distortion sound

 

remember to remove applehda.kext from

 

system

 

library

 

extensions

 

all the others voodoohda sounds ugly

 

this is the special modified version for the motherboard

[jack254718]

File doesn't exist from the link u gave above.

[Mrx33]

here is the link

http://rapidshare.com/files/3717367450/VoodooHDA_Lion.kext.zip

rapidshare change some settings

i had to change folder from private to public

now is fixed

[jack254718]

Ok. Thank you, I'm new to OS X. So do I just delete apples file and use Kext utility to install the new Kext

[Mrx33]

yes if you have an old voodoohda installed

 

delete that one too before installing the new one

 

and yes install with kext utility

 

restart and try cristal clear audio sound

 

now you can watch movies and play games

 

as long you a good supported video card

 

i have also installed ml in that board

[jack254718]

Cool. Well I'm on iatkos ML. Ill give it a go soon as. But I have brought a little OS X compatible usb sound thing. All I want sound for OS X sounds and the odd few things. Not for movies and that.

 

[Mrx33]

are using lion or ml

i have iatkos lion and iatkos ml

the iatkos lion is easy but iatkos ml it has a little trick

1 bios setting has to be change and an update in bootloader to avoid the restart problem

after that then you can get to the installer screen and install

please tell me if the onboard audio kext worked for you

if you want ml in that board i can help you too

but you need to tell me if you have a video card or if you are using integrated onboard vga

i forgot to mentioned listen to music that's the audio really for

good luck

[jack254718]

Didn't work at tall. In ML Iatkos. Have to boot into ssfe mood as nor al boot won't work. Just get kernal panic due to graphics card issue. However safe mode is Absolutly fine. No audio though. Checked settings for sounds and no card or driver is found.

 

BMW it's GeForce 8500gt graphics card. Not using on board as dont work.

[Mrx33]

the kext i gave you is for the board audio

you must have done something wrong

you mentioned a usb audio adapter maybe a conflict in audio

i been installing mac in pc since tiger 10.4

i have tested double check triple check and i know the kext works

if i wasn't sure i wouldn't never have uploaded

maybe you tried to many diferent audio kexts and something else is causing kernel panic

if you a video kernel panic you selected an injector

don't select injectors

select graphics enabler

if you have the usb audio plugged

unpplugged

delete the drivers for the usb audio

go to system preference audio and select green output

maybe that the option you missing

but i think the best solution is to reinstall aitkos one last time don't select any audio during installation

after you login with a fresh system

try the kext i assure you it works

or better yet tell me what you selected during the iatkos installion

and tell you what's causing the problem or the kernel panic

don't worry i have time today but i have to prove to all g41mvgs3 r2.0 that the kext works

[jack254718]

The USB isn't arrived yet. And kernal panics due to graphics. Not a main problem. No other audio kexks were ever installed. Have installed iatkos with the default audio kexts. ML

 

No injectors have been used or selected during installation.

[Mrx33]

i not sure if you get audio in safe mode

maybe is installed correctly but since you are in safe mode that's why is not showing up or working

you need to login in normal mode

ok let' s try again

i'm going to tell you how to install ml aitkos in g41mvgs3 r2.0

go to bios f2 o delete

in bios screen press f9 bios default

just change memory execution to enable

press f10

save reboot

do the samething you always do to install ml

erase the drive

make a new partion

mbr

journaled 'i don't remember the exact name but is the first option'

click costumized

this is the only thing you have to uncheck

uncheck audio

uncheck ahci

 

this is the only thing you have to check

check legacy logo

check no achi intel sata ide 'the 3rd one i don't remeber the name but that is the descryption'

 

when you login to the new fresh ml drag and drop the voodoohda inside kext utility

 

reboot

 

i have tested 8600 gt with lion and it works

so i think 8500 should work too

 

if you remember doing a diference selection that was the problem

most likely this time the graphic card and audio should work

that's what i do and everything works 100%

try that and tell me the results

[jack254718]

Ok... I'm trying installation of my spare harddrive as I don't fancy reformatting my current installation just yet in case of the problem not being resolved, I take it with the infor given above that it will fix the boot up issue with the normal mode.

 

It's very good of you to help me like this at this hour. Lol. Thank you Again and I will infrm you as soon as the installtion is finished,

 

By the way

 

Intel core duo 2 2.93 ghz with ddr 3 4gb ram

 

nope/ still same issue. the grphics card issue is still there. on normal boot get KP for mecd or something

 

Audio doesn't wrk either.

[Mrx33]

this is to confirm the audio don't work in safe

i boot my computer in safeboot no audio

here are your options

do the exact samething i told before

but this time uncheck graphics enable

go to vga nvidia and check old cards

if that don't work

the problem is unsopported video card

you have to get a new card

or install lion

the kext works in lion and in ml too

you won't get audio untill you boot in normal mode

 

if you boot in normal remove applehda kext install voodoohda kext

reboot

 

the speakers looks gray

go to

system preference

sound

sound effects

select sound output device

headphones green front

 

output

headphones green front

 

now the speaker icon turns dark black

which it means audio is active and enable

 

try that i be back later today

[jack254718]

It's ok. I've sorted it this morning. Just unchecked sound and chosen system profile iMac 3.1 instead of 5.1

 

Now boots normally a and sound works.

 

Thank you ever so much for your help and input. Xx
