Bikerbob Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 This is my hardware Gateway GT4024 computer MSI 7428r motherboard http://www.ascendtec...at4001071r.aspx (BOARD SPECS) 2 gb ram NVIDIA pci e card 8600GT Altheros wifi PS2 keyboard USB wireless mouse First issue I am trying to solve is the audio. VoodooHDA could get some sound - but it was nasty crackling etc.. this is my id 1002(ATI):437b(Alza ACL861) I found this. http://www.hackintoshosx.com/files/file/2964-alc861-working-kexts/ Tried to use Kext Wizard to install them (3 kexts in the zip) I removed the VOODOOHDA manually and I can boot, but no sound It is only showing 1 of the 3 kexts installed (contoller card) sound and IOfamily does not install. Also ViaATA did get the HD found and working.. but it shows up as a SATA bus.. is this an issue? THe 8600GT seems to be in fine, how do I know if I get accelleration etc.. QC or whatever? Safari crashes freq, saying the FLASH plugin crashed.. ? Thanks James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnDeaDAmP Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I use Kext Utility instead, as it clears the caches and refreshes them and such. Try that. As for the sound, do you know the codec? InsanelyDeepak made an audio solution package. https://insanelydeepak.wordpress.com/2015/03/23/complete-guide-to-patch-applehda-for-your-hda-codec/ https://insanelydeepak.wordpress.com/2015/03/13/high-definition-audio-codec-installer-hackintosh/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikerbob Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 HOly jezz.. im hoping I dont have to go that route.. that looks like a LOT OF WORK. I will try out Kext Utility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uzmi Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 ...I found this. http://www.hackintoshosx.com/files/file/2964-alc861-working-kexts/ Tried to use Kext Wizard to install them (3 kexts in the zip) I removed the VOODOOHDA manually and I can boot, but no sound...

Bikerbob Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 Was DisableHDA kext (or similar ) removed also? No.. I manually removed VoodooHDA.. because it gave me a kernel panic on reboot. SO I need to remove that as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uzmi Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Yes, you have to remove it and try again. http://www.hackintoshosx.com/files/file/2964-alc861-working-kexts/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikerbob Posted April 17, 2015 Author Share Posted April 17, 2015 what is a good tool to add.. remove.. update kexts permissions etc.. with iatkos sl3 v2.. which is what I installed. There was nothing that contained HDA in the extensions dir when the system was up and running. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikerbob Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 Im guessing there are just not that many people still on here playing with old hardware. I have tried to get this posted on the iatkos forum as well, but there I have to get a post approved before it will be put up.. and it would seem nothing in the SL forum get approved. This is from the dmesg log. This is the area that concerns the audio Kext com.apple.driver.AppleAzaliaAudio - library kext com.apple.iokit.IOAudioFamily not found. Can't load kext com.apple.driver.AppleAzaliaAudio - failed to resolve library dependencies. Kext com.apple.driver.AppleAzaliaAudio failed to load (0xdc00800e). Failed to load kext com.apple.driver.AppleAzaliaAudio (error 0xdc00800e). Couldn't alloc class "AppleAzaliaAudioCodecGeneric" ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whaka Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 First issue I am trying to solve is the audio. VoodooHDA could get some sound - but it was nasty crackling etc.. as you have a pentium dual core, you can try booting with the flag cpus=1. if your audio problem is gone with this flag, then install a VoodooTSCsync.kext compatible with SL. and reboot without the flag. i'm pretty sure your issue is a TSC (time stamp counter, you can google it if you don't know what is this beast ) issue.

Well i can try this, but every hackintosh I have found with an ALC861 needs specific drivers, no Voodoo was able to work. Actually come to think of it, I think I had that 1 cpus flag set for the install. Worth a shot I guess.. James update - Voodoo does not work with this ALC861 period.. no adjustment or changes helped.

Bikerbob Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 Still hoping to get some help on the audio on this. I am sure its a matter of getting the above kext package properly installed. Also this missing library kext. Is there a way to test the video driver if its supporting hardware accel? Any tinkerers like me out there?? James update - maybe I will just go to USB audio.. plug and play and I can get one to work for $10. That solves the audio. How do I test if video is complete? Also how do I update ???
