davy jones2 Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Hi, I am new to the mac world and have just stumbled my way through installing Snow Leopard on my Asus P5Q Pro. I cannot get the Atheros AR8121/8113/8114 Ethernet Controller to work, or the Realtek ALC1200 hd audio either (24 hours solid). Could some kind person talk me through it, gently,like a 2 year old. My knowledge is very basic,but am eager to learn. I have searched for a solution,but finding it hard to get beginners language as most of the information seems to be steered towards experienced programmers. Any help would be gratefully received. I installed it straight from the dvd with a couple of minor adjustments in the bios, I have read some tutorials saying to use several pieces of software to install it,so maybe I have to install something else also?. Many thanks. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/194788-lan-and-sound-problem-asus-p5q-pro/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

davy jones2 Posted November 6, 2009 Author Share Posted November 6, 2009 Hi! Check http://www.kexts.com/ Many thanks Watcher for your help. I visited kexts.com and found quite a few that should work with my system (but did not) . For anyone with an Asus P5Q Pro m/b and nVidia 1gb HD PCI-E these are the kexts that worked for me (and I tried many) Atheros Gigabit.kext for Lan Card (AttansicL1Ethernet)(there are a few different Attansic all with L1 as a reference so try each). NVEnabler 64.kext for graphics. VoodooHDA-1.kext (make sure to trash ALCinject.kext & HDAENABLER.kext from system/library/extensions first) All work perfect !. Hope this helps others from hurting their heads and damaging the wall. The only problem I have now is getting my Snow Leopard Retail to dual boot with Windows 7 without having to boot from the Empire EFI disc.
