ledbetter14 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Hi guys, so close to Mavericks now... I have my graphics sorted (GTX560), ethernet is good (Broadcom), the only thing keeping me in safe mode is my audio. I have a Asrock z77 Extreme4 which I believe is a ALC899. People seem to be having luck with various 898 kexts but I am not. I got a non safe mode boot once (still no sound) after installing the latest voodooHDA but it crashed out eventually and would only boot safe afterwards. No other voodoo version has worked. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdhiggins23 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I can't seem to get ethernet working on build 13A603. I'm running the same motherboard as you, could you point me to the kext you're using? and DSDT? Thanks. I was able to use the multi.beast included ALC898 kext without DSDT right out of the box, no safe mode required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledbetter14 Posted October 23, 2013 Author Share Posted October 23, 2013 Here you go mate, this should work. Just place it inside IONetworkingFamily,kext in S/L/E. Make sure you dig through to the actual kext in the zip, it wasnt working for me then I realised the folder structure was actually AppleBCM5701Ethernet.kext/AppleBCM5701Ethernet.kext/Contents... I sure felt like an idiot DHCP works on this for me too, I just had to remove and then re-add my ethernet adapter in system preferences. Another person who has ALC898 working... this is killing me! What version of M.B was that? AppleBCM5701Ethernet.kext.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdhiggins23 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I think it was 5.5.3, I haven't tried the latest yet but I'll give it a shot tonight and get back to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdhiggins23 Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Latest muftibeast is working just fine for me too. ALC898 without DSDT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keny Hu Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 Confirmed. MB works for ALC899 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledbetter14 Posted October 24, 2013 Author Share Posted October 24, 2013 Thanks for the feedback guys, I'll restore all audio kexts to stock and try again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ledbetter14 Posted October 25, 2013 Author Share Posted October 25, 2013 I restored AppleHDA.kext, IOAudioFamily.kext from my mavericks installer using Kext Utility & deleted HDAenabler.kext. I then used MB to install the ALC898 without DST kext, ran kext utility again to check the cache and rebooted with -v GraphicsEnabler=Yes. I get sound assertion errors in AppleHDAEnabler & AppleGenericCodec. Safe Mode boots with -v -x GE=Yes. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
