HDMI Audio through ATi HD 5450 10.6.8

[0000-1248]

Hi all, I am currently using ATI5000injector.kext and a patched version of the ATIFramebuffer.kext. They give me QE/CI, but no HDMI Audio. I have seen an option in Chameleon Wizard labeled "Enable HDMI Audio". I wonder whether that will work. My Specs are as follows:

 

CPU: Intel Core i5-650

GPU: ASUS ATi Radeon HD 5450 1GB (HDMI)

Motherboard: Gigabyte H55M-UD2H

OS: Mac OS X 10.6.8

 

I hope you can help me with my plight.

 

 

TIA

Is for OS X Lion, but you can do the test: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279738-radeon-hd-5450-on-lion-os-x-hdmi/?p=1826609

 

Always made a backup first.

Ok.

Thanks! I will try it tonight. Oh, just one more thing. In the side bar of the page it says "Compatible with 10.6.x Snow Leopard: No". Will that matter?

no HDMI Audio. 

In addition to OS X HDMI audio dsdt edits, framebuffer edits  are necessary; see Editing custom personalities for ATI Radeon HD[45]xx - ATi - InsanelyMac Forum.  For a HD5570 example of the method, see Case_Studies]_AMD-HD5xxx-HD6xxx_HDMI_Audio_v2.pdf.zip (select View Raw to download pdf).

Ok, but if nothing of this tips that i send to you helps, wait for more opinions.

 

I'm not a genius in HDMI audio

Thanks anyway Allan. I'm bad at Graphics and Audio too. Networking, Bootloaders and Hardware (apart from GFX and Audio) are so much more my thing. I will try this method though.

The HD5450 1GB runs without Kextpatch when you speak to the Vanilla Device, because it uses the same driver.

HDMI audio goes with framebuffer name "Shrike" instead of "Eulemur" in connection with a patched AppleHDA.

I can not tell you exactly how to do it with 10.6.8. With Yosemite works very well with this method.

 

see DSDT example:
