gazfocus Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 My fiance has just put together a hackintosh build and could really do with some advice. The specs are as follows: Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3P Motherboard Intel Pentium Dual Core E6700 3.2GHz 6GB DDR2 Ram (3 x 2GB) 64GB SSD Pioneer SATA DVDRW nVidia 8800GT 512MB Graphics We are trying to install Snow Leopard and have got a Snow Leopard 10.6.3 DVD and we're using this installation method. The install went smoothly and even the sound on the motherboard worked but once we installed the 10.6.4 combo update, the sound stopped working. Additionally, the graphics card doesn't get recognized and we've tried changing the two NVDAxxx kexts for ones from 10.6.0 but that didn't work either. Has anyone got any advice on how we can get the 8800GT graphics card and ALC889A Audio working in 10.6.4? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacUser2525 Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Has anyone got any advice on how we can get the 8800GT graphics card and ALC889A Audio working in 10.6.4? Thanks Try the EFI string in the com.apple.Boot.plist I posted in this thread some time ago I still had my Gigabyte P35 based board back then so it should just work for you as the bus routing should be the same. For the sound you just need to replace the .kext(s) that were overwritten when you updated the AppleHDA is one if my memory serves me well not sure of the others, if you really want a good long term no messing around solution then get an old SB Audigy card and use the kX driver that can be found on the site here it works great. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=122019 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derty Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 change this kext. nvdanv50hal.kext in s/l/e (for 10.6.4) add in your com.apple.boot.plist use lizard for edit and add: http://darwinx86.net/applications/utilitai...-pour-chameleon <key>Graphics Mode</key> <string>1680x1050x32</string> "your resolution monitor" <key>GraphicsEnabler</key> <string>Yes</string> and autoselect your pci root.... 0 or 1 repair your permissions. restart alc889a work whith voodoo hda, delete applehda.kext NVDANV50Hal.kext.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
