helmi1234 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Hello Sirs, I am new to the Mac scene but I'm trying to catch up as fast as I can. Today I have managed to get Lion working on my PC. However, what I have noticed is that after the very first boot into the fresh system my Soundblaster XFi Titanium PCI-E works perfectly out of the box. But here is my Problem: After applying [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url], rebuilding cache and fixing permissions, XFi disappears. I can get it to work again with voodooHDA but it sounds horrible. I have tried switching between 32 and 64 bit Kernel, furthermore I have deleted my Extra Folder to install only hand picked Packages instead of [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] which basically was: Chimera Bootloader FakeSMC EVOReboot NullPUPowermanagement and that kext for preventing cmos reset on reboot (forgot the name) -> same result.. Maybe you can help on this.. Here's my Setup: MSI P67A GD65 8GB DDR3 Soundblaster XFi titanium GTX 580 Btw I've also tried the more complex way with DSDT patching my .aml file using DSDT Auto Patcher. Something must be wrong with the patching because I keep getting ApplePowermanagement Kernel Panics this way. I'm still a noob obviously. regards Dominik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helmi1234 Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 Hello again, I have solved my problem. It seems that I have misunderstood a few things.. Refering to the sound card working on the first boot, I just came across the fact that [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] (which I used for my first startup) loads voodooHDA 0.2.1 during boot. Now make a guess which voodooHDA version is seemingly the only one which works flawlessly for my XFi card. Yes. -> Deleted AppleHDA und installed voodooHDA 0.2.1 (64bit recompiled). Of course this is my first experience with a mac but everything runs really really smooth now. Thanks to this forum, it holds a lot of knowledge..
