ASUS F45C - weird graphics and sound problem


13 posts in this topic

Recommended Posts

After a bit of time, finally installed it on my notebook - ASUS F45C VX009H.

 

However, I'm having a really weird behaviour: I only get video if I boot from Clover USB, not from the installed system. Also, the sound output is making a very weird noise. I'm using VoodooHDA 2.8.6. Is this normal? On windows I would just download Realtek HD Audio drivers and everything worked pretty fine. There is any kext for this?

 

Thanks!

The weird noise, I think, it's caused by that input gain so you are hearing your microphone you should set it to 0 in VoodooHDA settings and if you want to stick with voodoohda then you have to change iGain to 0 in the info.plist of voodoohda.kext so at every boot it will be set to 0 automatically. You should use a patched AppleHDA instead.

Did you copy your config.plist and DSDT from USB to your EFI partition so the same configurations are loaded at boot? Maybe that's why that you are only able to boot from USB.

There was no DSDT on my USB! I'm back on Windows for a while (my wifi card isn't supported on Mac OS X - a damn cheap Ralink-based card), so I'll extract everything needed while I don't get a new one.

 

I recommend patching AppleHDA for good quality sound though

Tried it, but it didn't worked. Said it needed the vanilla AppleHDA kext. Maybe it was because I had VoodooHDA? (I installed it and removed it because of the noise)

Just copying the config.plist from the USB solved the problem (for graphics). For audio I'm still waiting another solution.

The new problem is: now I can boot without Clover USB drive plugged in, however my system doesn't lasts 5 minutes running until it crashes and restart (by itself). No kernel-panic messages are shown, it just hangs for a second or two and reboots. Extracting the DSDT and using it can solve it? I'm back on WIndows while I don't get a new wifi card, so it is worth extracting it and trying later, isn't?

What version of Clover is installed on your HDD? And for audio have you tried to set the Input Gain to zero?

The latest avaliable at Sourceforge > http://sourceforge.net/projects/cloverefiboot/files/Installer/ maybe its the r818, I don't recall. I had to return to windows (I need this computer, is the only one I have :P)

 

How do I set this? I was thinking on patching AppleHDA, seems a more suitable solution, since my audio chipset (Realtek HD Audio ALC270) has kext patches (I just need to know which one to use, since there are 5 or 6 ALC270 patches avaliable within Hackintosh Vietnam Tool).

You can consider yourself lucky. :)))) I have ALC270 too. Do you still have OS X on your computer?

Not until I get a replacement to my wifi card, but you can tell me what I need to do, so I start to learn about it before I actually try.

You need clover bootloader, a dummyHDA.kext and Clover Configurator to configure the patching of the AppleHDA on the fly. Which means you can update without losing sound. Yosemite needs a corrected dummyHDA because the version numbers are changed so we need to adapt to it, but that's a piece of cake.

I'll not use Yosemite, so the steps are the same for Mavericks?

Install this dummyHDA.kext then open Clover Configurator, mount you EFI partition then select your Config.plist from the main menu. Go to Kernel and Kext Patches and add these: 

"Name            Find                   Replace"

 AppleHDA     8419D411          7002EC10

 AppleHDA     8408EC10          00000000

 

Make sure you rebuild cache and repair permissions. Best tool for installing a kext is Kext Utility. Will do all the job for you. :D

Good luck.

Gonna try this soon! Just ordered a new WiFi card, but should take a while to arrive. Meanwhile, I'll look a bit more into all of the stuff I need to know. Thanks!
