I recently managed to install Mavericks 10.9.5 on my Asus S56CM-DH71-CA  http://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/S56CM/specifications/

 

Graphics cards:

- GeForce GT 635M

- Intel HD 4000

 

 

Wifi-cards:

- Atheros AR9485 (Original card)

- Atheros AR5B195 (AR9285) - Card I replaced it with.

 

Audio-card:

- Realtek ALC270

 

Chipset & CPU:

- Intel HM76 Express

- Intel I7-3517U

 

Motherboard Ver:

 - K56CM

 

 

In order to get it out of safe-mode, I deleted all the ATI, AMD, GeForce, IntelHD (except the 4000), Nvidia, kexts. I also deleted the turbo boost kext and the apple ps2 controller + élan touchpad kext.

 

I installed a kext for the mouse and keyboard and it works. I extracted my DSDT (clean) below. Anyone have any patches for it or can help me patch it? I found some DSDTs online for Mountain Lion and the K56CM model and I used those and parts of it work (Audio did not, Wifi did not). Wifi doesn't work out of the box but works with the DSDTs I found online. Audio works with Voodoo HDA but it doesn't detect when I plug the earphones in so I have to manually switch the output from speakers to earphones. I'd prefer to have DSDTs for my model and mono.

 

Anyone can help me? I'm really new but I read that DSTDs will help me.

Reply with IOReg copy.

 

I applied your DSDT, rebooted, opened IORegExplorer and then clicked save. Hopefully I did that right. I had to remove the DSDT after and replace it with the old one to be able to post this (because wifi).

Try it...

 

Okay. I used only this dsdt.aml file. I didn't use the SSDT files or anything else.

 

 

It works a bit. The wifi works with this, the audio still works (still using VoodooHDA). The brightness stopped (it's at max now). The volume keys work.

Check if your nvidia graphics is disabled (System info).

 

Yup. Disabled. My previous post was wrong. I was pressing the wrong button for brightness (I'm a noob.. Can't get used to the Apple keyboard layout yet). I did some checking and it detects the wifi card as AR9300 instead of AR9285 but no biggie, it perfectly fine.

The keyboard works perfectly.

The touchpad works (though a bit glitch as before.. still have 3 & 4 finger recognition and scrolling so that's good).

It detects all 6GB of ram.

Detects the right CPU speed.

It uses the IntelHD4000.

 

Everything is right.. The only problem is the audio. I am using the VoodooHDA kext. Audio AND speakers work but it never detects whenever I plug in the earphones. I have to go to system preferences and switch to the headphones under the output section.

 

Any ideas?

Good, now you have to patch your AppleHDA and remove the crappy VoodooHDA, refer to Mirone's guide for that.

Hey. I patched the Audio. Can you tell me how you patched my wifi and all the other stuff? What code did you use? It works but I want to know how and why. I try to do myself but it didn't work. I extract SSDT's from Windows and move them to mac and try to compile and they give errors. How did you do it? Is there a way for me to compare stuff like this?

 

I want to know because I want to try and patch Sleep and wake which doesn't work for some reason.

That is where I uploaded all the patch files for this specific laptop. That ALC270 AppleHDA Kext should work for Yosemite. I have not tried Sierra as the laptop that I had died a year ago.

 

 

Are you using the same laptop? What MacOS or OSX version are you using?
