MacUser2525 Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 All these boards (Gigabyte P45) use pretty much the same chipsets and this is what matters along with OSX's support for those chipsets on the boards. Now sometimes they have different audio chips on them vs the higher end board as you have the lower end one there support can be hit and miss personally I use the NX driver for a SB Audigy works great. Everything thing else should just work except Bonjour/Time machine for the NIC for Bonjour you would need the R1000.kext you can get from Psystar web site and Time Machine a patched IONetworkingFamily.

Beerkex'd Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 There's a retail installation guide for the Gigabyte GA-EP45 UD3 (non-L), you should be able to follow that with minor modifications. You, and anyone else with a "will my motherboard work" type question, just type your motherboard make and model into the search box. Unless it's a really obscure or old motherboard, you will find something useful.

josh007 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 ......personally I use the NX driver for a SB Audigy works great. .... Hello, I have the Gigabyte EP45-UD3L running 10.5.6 All the sound drivers I have tried so far for this board,( ALC1200 Slim, 888 address 2.. etc.. etc...), "pop" once before playing an initial sound. So, are you saying that you have a similar motherboard and You use the "NX driver for a SB Audigy" with the stock on-board sound card ? Or, are you saying that you bought a SB Audigy Card and put it in your computer? I am Desperately trying to find a sound driver for the EP45-UD3L that does not "pop". (Someone else already mentioned to me that ALC1200 Slim, and others, should work IF I use the original AppleSMbios. But I am forced to use a modified AppleSmbios to keep my hackintosh running correctely. What to do ??? Good Day.

Josh I also have a Griffin FireWave and iMic both work without any problems for the sound although you need working firewire for the FireWave the iMic just uses USB so would work for anyone got it dirt cheap refurbished on Ebay, you may want to consider any of these options to save the hassle of the on-board sound problems.

Jaavros Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Built-in sound works excellent on this motherboard. It goes up to 24bit, 96KHz (latency of 9.2ms) and is rock stable for use in Logic, software synths, etc. The rear-panel output (green) and front-panel headphones both work. You can use the VoodooHDA driver. There is no popping sound. http://forum.voodooprojects.org/index.php?topic=139.0 Otherwise, you can use 2 kexts to enable the sound: AppleHDA.kext and HDAEnabler.kext. (with a slight pop at boot.) To install OSX with this motherboard, you can use Retail Leopard installer Disk (with the boot132 disk), and update to 10.5.8 with software-update. UInstaller does everything else to get it working. This is a very compatible motherboard for OSX. The distros should also work, but I haven't tried them.

You need to burn the file in the pack named "EP45-UD3.iso".

zondaf Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Any luck with sleep working properly? My system is rock solid and everything except for sleep works. Frustrating to be so close yet have this not working right... Hi There, I know it's been a while since you posted this comment. But, if I'm lucky; you'll respond. I started my install with an [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] CD & MAC OSX Leopard 10.6 DVD; all went smooth. I too feel I'm lucky, my system is up and running SOLID with all the updates and that's without messing with any kext files or any of that! One thing though, I use the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] CD to boot my clone PC and every time my system needs to do some thinking, you can hear the CD-ROM spin reading the files, instead of the hard drive. My signature has my hardware configuration. I attempted several sites here and elsewhere to resolve this issue, including this one: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=187906 But no luck. Do you have any idea where I can begin to look to attempt to resolve this? Any hint would be very helpful.
