el_gringo Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Hi all, hoping you can help me get my audio up and working on my hackintosh. I have a ga-ex58-ud5 mobo that I just flashed to the latest F12 bios in order to resolve sleep issues. Those are resolved fine, but now I don't have any audio. I have the HDAEnabler.kext installed in /Extra/AdditionalExtensions, and have tried LegacyHDA.kext, put them in System/Library/Extensions, and tried some other things like that, but no luck. I still have no sound, and in system preferences I get the messages: 'no output devices found' and 'no input devices found' despite the fact that I have output devices plugged in (tried headphones, speakers, etc. so not an issue with those). Can somebody point me in the right direction as to exactly which kexts I should have installed where, which ones I should be sure are NOT installed in certain locations, etc? Thanks a ton in advance!

kup Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Rip the DSDT from the new bios and upload here along with the old one so we can compare differences? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_gringo Posted August 26, 2010 Author Share Posted August 26, 2010 Thanks for the reply kup, and you'll have to excuse my ignorance, but what do you mean by 'rip the DSDT from the new BIO'. Just upload a copy of the DSDT file in the /Extra directory, or something else? Also, where would the 'old' one be found, just a backup of said file from before I flashed the bios?

zoob Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Try using d00d's DSDT and put LegacyHDA.kext in /Extra/Extensions That setup works great for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_gringo Posted August 31, 2010 Author Share Posted August 31, 2010 Hmm, I'm trying d00d's DSDT (the one for the 930 processor) and the LegacyHDA he links to in audio option D (for my mobo), but no luck. any other thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_gringo Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 Bump, anybody have any other ideas on this? I'm using d00d's DSDT (the one for the 930 i7) and here's a picture of what's in my /Extra folder: Any kexts there that are conflicting in a way that would cause the lack of sound? Any missing kexts that should be there? Also, does it matter that the folder is titled 'AdditionalExtensions' instead of just 'Extensions'? I get kernel panics when I change the name of the folder and have to rename it back in single user mode...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dradis Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 sounds like you need to make a new dsdt file. I used koala's acpi patcher to make mine. you'll need a windows computer to run the app, and i copy of your bios file. it doesnt have to be done on the same computer you are trying to patch. I've got a guide telling exactly how to use it. I think its for my board, but should done by the same method for yours. Since i cant find the guide again on this site, i'll post it here tomorrow. for now, here's koala's page about the patcher. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=142434 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dradis Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Here's that guide I used to make my DSDT file. It should be pretty similar to making one for your board. I think I found this guide somewhere on this forum; if anyone knows where, please post a link to the OP. If you dont have IORegistryEditer install the developer tools from your OSX DVD.

el_gringo Posted September 3, 2010 Author Share Posted September 3, 2010 thanks for the guide dradis, I'll give it a shot and see what happens. i feel like d00d's DSDT should work fine, but it gives me kernel panics (even when using the correct one for my mobo/cpu). UPDATE: No dice. I followed the guide as closely as possible (making some adjustments for my different hardware of course) and I still didn't have any audio. It also screwed with my CMOS and screen resolution, but that's neither here nor there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huzzah! Thanks for everyone's help anyways, I appreciate the input. What audio ports are working? I have the same board, although BIOS v6, and I can only get the front headphone jack working. I would like to use the digital coax output. thanks, c-mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my speakers plugged into the pink and green ones on the back mobo panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
