tepaks Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 @ Zaledar Nice job! what was the reason to roll back AppleACPIPlatform.kext? @ other readers: it's not wise to use an smbios.plist other than one you made yourself. This file contains "unique" serial number that if duplicated can confuse some programs like TeamViewer. Also it's much better to make own DSDT and SSDT unless you have identical configuration to the last detail like same expansion card in same slot etc. Use files provided by Zaledar for reference, testing etc but make your own asap.

Eddyv321 Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 After 10.8.2 or 10.8.3 update, system doesn't boot without any message during boot. So you have to roll back with 10.8.1 AppleACPIPlatform.kext. Well-known problem on some ASUS motherboard.

tepaks Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 I'm confused. 8086 is Intel, ALC892 is Realtek, Intel is not Realtek Actually I'm not confused at all. This is a typical ASUS mesh up. I explains why You had to use VoodooHDA. For a split second I've considered this rig to be successor for my next iHack project. Knowing this it's a definite NO GO. Thank you for this info, it saved me a lot of time and frustration. VoodooHDA is not an acceptable option for my next rig.

tepaks Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Thank You again. This screenshot confirms my expectations. Only two out of eight onboard audio channels are operational. Was VoodooHDA loaded while making this screenshot or just edited AppleHDA.kext?
