jontah Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Hi! I have a new soundcard installed into my Hackintosh (its RME HDSPe AES PCIe soundcard) so it's a PCIe one.I contaced RME since it worked fine the first 2-3 days, then suddenly the audio just dropped out and when restarting the computer the computer doesn't recognize the soundcard at all. sO here I am without audio now. (I'm into music production btw).RME tells me I need to disable ASPM (PCIe power saving in BIOS). Where do I do this in UEFI BIOS? I can't find it anywhere!Also: do you know whatelse it could be that makes this occur? I've spent sooooo much money on this soundcard and all of the gear I connect it to, just to make it work. But now this happens, really going nuts here.Please, any answers is highly appreciated. I want to make this work. Also; after asking the same question on tonymacx86, I got the answer I needed to edit my boot.plist to: arch=i386 since my soundcard only worked in 32bit appearantly. After doing so and restarting the computer I am not STUCK at the bootloader, so I can't get into my OSX at all anymore. Can someone please help me with this? I've tried all sorts of bootflags to get into my OSX again, but I just can't get in at all. I know tonymacx86 and this site really isnt friends, but here u got the full conversation: http://www.tonymacx86.com/bios-uefi/135482-soundcard-not-recognized-need-disable-aspm.html#post831722 I would sincerely appreciate answers and help with fixing this, REALLY FRUSTRATING to not get in to my computer at ALL anymore! Thanks. Best,J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aphex6b Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 ok i have no experience with that card in itself, but usually, in general, with mac os audio and RME, it either works or not. So if it is supported in a post-Snow Leopard system (64 bit) driver-wise and your system is configured ok overall in general, i do not see what can be the issue. Do the mixing or routing features work ok? Do u use other cards in addition (like AppleHDA) did u checked the usual like Audio/midi Utility settings for configuring the rest that is not already configured in the RME specific utils? ASPM power saving is that the feature that you can configure on windows-based system what can have affect on performance in games when u run a dual graphics card setup ?PCI Link express bandwith power saving i believe it's called..., don't think u can set it in BIOS/UEFI but perhaps some additional pci voltage does help. BTW by audio dropping out u mean the card does just completely dissapear from everything? because that seems more hw-related to me. i discovered some cool older Xcode based app when messing around with AUnetSend some days ago, called HAL lab. It might be of additional help if u cannot seem to find out enough debug info for diagnosing audio related issues in mac os. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
