Have you tried Taruga's sound patch? You can find it in the forums under OSX / The X Labs / Apple HDA

Cheers.

Yes, of course. I'm using it right know, but I don't remember what version smile.gif

I don't know if it worth, but I'm using digital out (SPDIF) connected with reciever and I'm getting only 2 chanells to work.

Cheers smile.gif


EDIT: I don't know how, but I got all 6 chanells working smile.gif Now I can enjoy in HD movies smile.gif

Cheers everyone.

I found a solution to my sleep problem. I used the 9.1.0 Vanilla kernel instead of the 9.1.0 ToH kernel. I really appreciate everyone's help here!

I'm already using the vanilla kernel, but no sleep here. Can you tell us wich configurations have you applied in your bios? thank you very much,

Do you guys have issues with disutility and/or ejecting your cd drives? My cd drives more often than not refuse to eject and the disk utility occasionally locks up. If you guys have any suggestions feel free to comment.

@kdm
I found my BIOS settings here: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=551664

@David86
I have not experienced any issues with disk utility or ejecting media.

***Update fixed it, i plugged the keyboard into the front port of my p5w and it woke up fine. It has something to do with the back usb ports. Will test more****

Hey Stronzo, I have had great success with my p5w running vanilla 10.5.1 on guid efi v8, but the only thing is my sleep only works with my power button, I can't get it to work with my usb keyboard. Wake works perfectly with power button but when I hit the usb keyboard or the mouse the screens stay black and the fire wire light on my sound card comes on then off. So it wants to wake up but something is stopping it.

*Update, I can put it to sleep and then insert a usb thumb drive and it wakes up! So I have no idea why the usb keyboard will not wake it up properly

I have tried every possible bios setting, so now I'm wondering if it's kext thang.

any ideas?

I have the same problem. I have a G15 gaming keyboard and the only way I can return from sleep is the power button. Anyone find a fix?

I also have the G15 keyboard plugged in to my HP w2207h display, wake from sleep works just fine.

how do you guys get sleep/wake to work? I use a PS/2 keyboard, i can wake up my system only with the power button, everything will show up, but it just freezed
By the way, here're my xbench result after i upgraded to 8gb ram and oc'ed my quad to 3.24ghz:

***edit I just realized you use a ps2 keyboard(duhh), I'll try and see if a bios setting will work, although I don't think mac programs their computers to wake from ps2****

I plugged my keyboard into the front usb and then it would wake up. I thought it would only wake up from the power button too, but then I would plug in a thumb drive in the front and it came on. I have no idea why the back usb ports aren't waking it

So what's the scoop on onboard wifi? Some people say they have it working flawlessly with the realtek 8187 drivers, others say it is very unreliable. I unfortunately tried out the realtek drivers to find out that my network would endlessly disconnect a few moments after i connect. Can anybody tell me or point me in the right direction to finally get my wifi working? Thanks in advance

Well I have been trying to get wireless working on P5W DH Deluxe. It is not easy. I really don't need it but I'm up for the challenge. I finally got signal showing in the realtek utility but no luck connecting to the internet or having it show up in my other network lists on my other macs. Here is a pick and I'm working with a friend on the irc. He'll help me tommorow.

I did what you said OneMansTrash and I plugged my G15 Keyboard to the front USB and low and behold, WAKING FROM SLEEP WORKED! I dont have a need to push the power button ever again! Thanks for your discovery!

Does anyone know how to get the 4th Master (The Orange SATA) to show up in Leopard? Thanks!

. . shut down & unplug from the mains; remove all jumpers controlling the 'EZ-Backup' IC.

Restart & the LH orange SATA works as the 4th ICH7-R port.

(the EZ-Backup' thingie is a Silicon Image 'Steelvine' SATA-splitter: removing the jumpers disables it)
2LMan
I did what you said and it still wont show up. Hmm...

does anyone else have the problem that the sata drives are recognized as external ones (orange icons). someone has a fix for that?
i am using leopard 10.5.1 with efi 5 patch


I have this same problem too. I believe the reason for it is because you are using a chipset driver that properly detects the ICH7-R. I remember installing Leopard on my machine with the Kalyway Bootable CD + the ToH RC2 DVD and didnt have this problem. Now I'm using the Kalyway 10.5.1 DVD and I have this problem. With ToH RC2, the SATA controller comes up as a 'Generic AHCI Controller' whereas with the Kalyway 10.5.1 it properly detects as an 'Intel ICH7-R' because there is an eSATA connector on board.

I would like to stop my system from detecting the SATA disks as external too, but I don't want to get away from using the Kalyway 10.5.1 DVD either.

Does anyone know if the EZBackup or other RAID options work? How would I set them up? Which is better?

Edit: Ok, so I setup my drives on the EZBackup cuz I had no idea where to start with the ICH7R. Here are my XBench scores for both tests:




Are these scores good? How could I improve my setup further?

Alright, I have one more issue. I have my 2 drives setup in a raid, but the IDE Configuration settings are set to Standard IDE. Whenever I change it to AHCI, I get this screen:


Does anyone know how to get AHCI working on the EZBackup? Should I switch to ICH7R? What ports control the ICH7R Raid?

Alexlyc: your score without Disktest is amazing. Very nice. But there must be something wrong with your disk config because it slow it down very much.
Your diskscore is 56 which is not very fast...

NVM, I just decided to keep it the way it is.

I never had any trouble to use the EZ backup ports in raid mode - ahci or ide didnīt matter.
two raptorīs on the EZ Backup gave me only 80 points in xbench.
meanwhile Iīm booting from a raid0 with a sil3132 card with a xbench of 120 in tiger and unfortunately only 105 in leo (only disk)

Just a quick note, I didn't see any mention of it earlier in the thread:
Makes sure Execute Disable function is ENABLED in BIOS, if you want to boot the vanilla kernel. I've seen guides on the 'net saying to disable it, but it only works for me with

EIST: Disabled
C1E: Disabled
Hyper Path: Disabled
XD function: Enabled.

Just download the driver and gui at http://www.realtek.com.tw and search for 8187L software.
That will enable your onboard WiFi.

Did you go to System Preferences -> Network?
It should says it found a new network interface and should then be on in the list. Its not called wifi there, just Ethernet (en1 or 2 or 3 etc).
Don't forget to APPLY it.

Hi, I'm just wondering what exactly your wifi settings are like. Are the settings in Network Prefrences on Automatic? Are you connecting to a network with WEP? Everytime i try to connect it only stays connected for about a minute, and then disconnects (until i restart my computer). I am using the 8187L driver from the realtek site and have enabled the connection correctly in network prefs. Thanks.

I've been having problems waking up from sleep in osx lately. Think i'm going to downgrade bios to see if it solves it.



Hmm went back to BIOS 2004 and still problems. Should be running vanilla kernel that's included with the kalyway release so idk what the problem is. Anyone else have this?

Hi, I'm trying to make my Wifi Card work (Mobo ASUS P5W DH Deluxe, Processor Intel Core2Duo 5500 2.33Ghz, Video Geforce 7300GT Dual monitor working, 2 Western Digital 160 Gb. HD. System OSX86 10.4.10, Koolkal update from JAS 10.4.8. Runs great!). I'v allready installed the realtek driver (MacOS10.4_Universal_Driver_1.4.5_UI1.4.7.zip) and the utility runs smoothly, but in "Link Status" my card appears as "disconnected" (there's no green light also in the back panel).
Am I missing some configuration? do I have to make some tweaks on the BIOS? or is just that there's no wifi network around?
Anyway i would like to use my hackintosh as an Acces Point, so i can connect my laptop wirelessly, is that possible yet?
Thanks!

Works great. I already updated to 10.5.2 by following this guide: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=87078

Note: You need to backup your existing AppleSMBIOS.kext, ALCinject.kext & AppleHDA.kext before installing the update.
Time machine is still working after the update.

Have not yet tried the Graphics Update, though. smile.gif

Question:

Using Kalyway. I select the RealTek wireless from the customize.. but when I install using this option, I lose all of the onboard NIC on the P5W... When I don't install with RealTek it works fine. Anyone know what is going on?

Skip

**Update** I guess when you select the realtek driver from the customize it probably doesn't install the on board NIC driver in the P5W.

Installing 10.5.2 atm, wish me luck. I am going to try the Graphics update as well and see if my FPS in WOW goes up from 30fps to 50fps like in Windows.



Update went smoothly following the above guide! I'm now at 10.5.2 with the Leopard Graphics Update installed as well! Gotta love this motherboard!

Edit:
WOW is running at 40fps as opposed to 25fps! New drivers are awesome!
