ATI Radeon HD 3200 and Integrated 5.1 Channel Sound (iAtkos v7)

[tprankd]

iAtkos v7 installed pretty much perfect, without many problems. My sound does work, however it's very raspy and doesn't sound too great. OSX also does not detect my microphone.

 

I'm using a Dell Inspiron 546 for this setup. Also, on the "About this Mac" it shows an Intel prossessor, however I'm using an AMD Sempron series. Why would that happen?

 

I'm wondering about the HD 3200 as I want to increase my screen resolution, but it's stuck on 1024x768.

 

Thanks for any help!

Sorry about double posting, but I would really like a solution. I don't want to stick with Winblows, but if I'm using OSX it would be nice for good performance. I fixed the resolution problem, but the performance was still pretty bad and it looked stretched.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

 

[edit 1] - I assume that it recognizes the graphics card, but the performance is not too great.

Based on how many cores your CPU has, the Voodoo Kernel automatically injects a CPU type that matches with one Apple uses. This improves compatibility.

 

My Pentium 4 651 (see sig) shows as an Intel Core Solo CPU.

Thanks for the reply! Ahh I see, that's pretty nice then. What about the other issue in my post? About the screen resolution. Could that possibly be the graphics card or what else could be causing the low resolution?

It's an issue with the way OS X talks to your video card.

 

PC video cards don't speak the same language as Mac video cards, so (even if you have a video card model that Apple uses) we must employ an "injection method" to inject the information that OS X wants to read from the video card.

 

If you're using a recent version of Chameleon 2.0 you can try adding GraphicsEnabler = y to /Extra/com.apple.Boot.plist.

If not, you can try installing Netkas' injector, ATY_Init.kext. Visit Netkas' blog (google it) for more info - there's tons of info on ATI video cards over there.

 

Besides an injection method, some people (everybody? No idea really) with ATI cards need a patched 'framebuffer' too.

 

I'm an nvidia person so that's all I know about ATI video cards in Hackintoshes.

 

From what I've seen, sound crackling is caused by timing problems and/or IRQ conflicts. IIRC there are some special kernel flags for AMD users with timing problems, check the voodoo kernel .pdf manual for more info (google it). Resolving IRQ conflicts requires DSDT editing. There are threads about this around here and at the ProjectOSX forum.

 

Good Luck.

Thanks again for the reply! I think I'll try that again. I went ahead and installed Winblows because OSX wasn't working quite as well as I wanted to, but I'll try this again. I'll partition and hopefully will be able to get everything working well.

It should be known that the ATI Radeon HD 3200 card has almost no hope for any kext. I am using that card on my laptop, and it was VERY difficult to find a solution. The only way you can get a native resolution is to use Dong's framebuffer kext. Even if you use that, you won't get QE/CI, but it's good enough.

I downloaded RadeonHD.kext.lebidou.zip from Post #115 here used Kext Helper to install driver, restarted & changed my resolution.

I hope this works for other people it sure worked for me! I tried everything... it would be nice to get CI/QE working but from what I hear it's not possible. I only wanted to maximize my resolution so the desktop looks decent.
