lcronos Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 I'm running Mavericks in VMWare Player on a Dell Inspiron 660, and almost have all of its issues fixed. At this point all I need is to fix audio and have flash run in Firefox (I'm not really concerned with that though, HTML5 is common enough). It doesn't seem to detect my sound card, so I tried using various Voodoo kexts, but they didn't seem to work. Then I saw on here that DSDT files work as a better work around than kexts since they don't need reinstalled after updates. I downloaded DSDT Editor, and when I go to compile I get 5 unfixable errors. Three of them say "Object does not exist (LPRS)" One says "7058 Error syntax error, unexpected PARSEOP_ENDDEPENDENTFN, expecting ',' " And the last one "7640 Error syntax error, unexpected '}', expecting $end " If anyone knows any of the fixes, or a better method all together of getting audio working on my system that'd be great. Side note, I'll put up screen shots as necessary once I know what the correct key is on a non-mac keyboard, since some of them seem off (The Windows key is cmd, and Alt is opt, but I thought Alt was where cmd goes, and the Meta key is where opt goes).

lcronos Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 Sorry I've been slow to respond, should have it up in around 11 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcronos Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 How do I upload the DSDT, since I don't know how to screen shot in OS X. I've only recently started playing with OS X, so I still have a very Windows and Linux based mindset (either use prtscn, or there is no way to screenshot without additional software). If you can tell me how to just upload the DSDT that'd probably be easier in this case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pokenguyen Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Save dsdt as dsdt.dsl, then upload here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcronos Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 It's saying I'm not permitted to upload this kind of file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcronos Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 lol, sorry I assumed it was a forum that didn't let you upload anything until you made so many posts, guess I've been on Ubuntu's forums too many times now lol. lcronos_DSDT.dsl.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbo178 Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 This is the dsdt without errors lcronos_DSDT.aml.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcronos Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 Thanks, out of curiosity how did you fix it? I'm playing with it in a VM right now, but want to eventually go out and set up a physical device with it on there. Scratch that, still gave the same errors.

carbo178 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I deleted the methods that generated errors, but on a real system (not in a virtual machine) you must extract the dsdt from bios motherboard (this dsdt is not usable on real system) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcronos Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 It gave me the same errors I'm not sure why though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbo178 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 I double checked, the file has no errors. Install OS X in your system and extract dsdt with this terminal command: perl -e 'open(CMD, "ioreg -lw0 \| grep DSDT|") or die; while(){ chomp; if($_ =~ /\"DSDT\.?\d?\"=]*)>/) { $buff = $1; open(PIP,"|xxd -r -p > ~/Desktop/dsdt.aml") or die; print PIP "$1"; } }' You can also use this program on Windows to extract the dsdt from bios (run as admin) DSDTEditor-Linux-Mac-Win.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcronos Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 Okay, that makes sense, should I re-upload the DSDT created by Windows, or is there another method to get sound working? I'm not planning on installing it on my system itself, I'd rather get the parts and just build a hackintosh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbo178 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 For now it is useless to extract the dsdt; when you have a PC on which to install Mavericks then you can work on real devices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcronos Posted May 17, 2014 Author Share Posted May 17, 2014 Do you know of any kexts that might work for my machine. I haven't had any luck using Google to find it. I can deal without audio, I'd just love to be able to say I have OS X 10.9 running near perfectly in a VM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 A virtual machine is virtual. That's why it's called a virtual machine. It doesn't matter what sound hardware the host (your PC) has. You need to search for a VMWare sound driver for OS X, not for your PC. Provided such a thing exists, it should be easy to find because everybody who runs OS X in VMWare would be using it. The virtualized video hardware in VMWare does not support OpenGL or any kind of "hardware accelerated graphics" on OS X. This means that anything that wants to use hardware accelerated graphics will not work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcronos Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 Okay makes sense, thanks for the help. Much better than other forums I've used *cough* freebsd forums *cough*. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
