Siftah Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 All, This forum has been a very helpful resource to me in my past endeavours with Leopard on the Gigabyte EP45T-UD3LR but it doesn't seem like too many people have this exact revision of the board - I thought I'd post my experiences here in order that it may help others. Install I used the excellent install guide at LifeHacker to get the installation up and running: http://lifehacker.com/5360150/install-snow...acking-required What I liked about that method is that it didn't require a SATA optical drive and I happened to have a big enough USB memory stick laying around. I followed the install to the letter and it went smoothly. Sound I'm having to use my Griffin iMic as a USB sound card - which sucks as the quality doesn't seem that great through my speakers at the moment. This didn't work in Leopard either. It's strange because I can see the entry for the sound in the System Profiler, but there's no option to select it in the System Preferences. I've tried a few different kexts so far but to no avail - any help on this would be appreciated and I'll update this post if I get a working solution. FireWire Sorry, this board doesn't have FireWire AFAIK anyway so I can't say if it works - it doesn't show up in my system profiler anyway and I can't remember ever having seen FireWire on the board itself. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Sleep/Wake All works fine, can occasionally take a few seconds for the USB Mouse to be picked up again but it's nothing major. Certainly works well and it never worked in Leopard for me. CPU/RAM They're mis-reported as DDR2 which I believe is the fault of the LifeHacker install, it certainly doesn't seem detrimental as the machine is reporting a faster GeekBench score than when it reported DDR3 under Leopard. (This particular model of the EP45 board does have DDR3) GeekBench Results Leopard results: http://browse.geekbench.ca/geekbench2/view/133309 Snow Leopard results: http://browse.geekbench.ca/geekbench2/view/176165 As you can see it's a bit quicker under Snow Leopard, which is nice and it also seems to work fine with TimeMachine which is much better than the situation I had with Leopard !

theorie Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I used the same board for 2 builds. Here are my builds: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=185550 Anyway, I am also having a problem with the audio. No matter what kexts I use, no audio... Did you find a solution? Has anyone? Cheers.

theo2076 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Doing the same build myself, no luck with the audio either. I was able to use an external Soundblaster USB out of the box, which works, but would rather find a way to use the internal sound.

thetoolman Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 For anyone interested: I have got my GA-EP45T-UD3LR working with audio. I used the kakewalk install at puru.se, got rid of a few kexts that I have tried before: S/L/E/appleHDA.kext ACLinject.kext etc. added the latest voodooHDA with kextutility and rebooted. using -x32 (needed for fuse-ext2) so can't confirm x64.
