mykell9999 Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 After going through many installs, mainly by trial and error, i have got my hackintosh usable. CPU = Pentium D 805 ( running at 3.10 ) Mobo = Asrock 775i945GZ RAM = 1 Gig DDR2-667 Video Card = Geforce 6500 HD = ATA 80 Gig Samsung DVDRW Drive = Sony 16X Dual Layer DVDRW Drive Installed Jas 10.4.8 Intel SSE3 reseed DVD, checked the 10.4.8 update, Azalia fix, and login window fix. Then installed Natit 1.0 installer, got Geforce 6500 working with full QE and CE. Installed IONetworkingfamily.kext from 10.4.3. Got RTL 8139 built-in ethernet working. Followed the ALC 8x guide, got the built-in ALC888 working. BTW, Natit won't ( got a blank screen ) work if i check/install the semthex or mifki kernel on the DVD. Running 2 core gets me extremely choppy performance, and I couldnt get any kind of video to play at all. After editing com.apple.Boot.plist and disabling 1 cpu core ( cpus=1 ), performance was snappy and OSX10.4.8 was stable. Only 1 issue, and it's that i can't watch anything on VLC, video plays fine, but audio is extremely choppy. Any suggestions?

alexinthesky Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 hi, having the same experience with dell M1210 : choppy sound with VLC and only running on one cpu ( cpus=1). Sound went 'little' better using last semethex kernel....

Rammjet Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Followed the ALC 8x guide, got the built-in ALC888 working. BTW, Natit won't ( got a blank screen ) work if i check/install the semthex or mifki kernel on the DVD. For ALC888 audio, check out the following thread for efforts to improve sound output/input on Realtek audio chipsets. May have to read through the posts to find ALC888 files. Start at end and work forward: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=32859 Good to know about Natit. Think a lot of people suffer this problem. Running 2 core gets me extremely choppy performance, and I couldnt get any kind of video to play at all.

Only 1 issue, and it's that i can't watch anything on VLC, video plays fine, but audio is extremely choppy. Try moving/deleting AppleHWSensor.kext.

Hagar Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Dunno if this will help you, but it fixed my audio/video jitters in vlc, and may be useful anyway... I simply upgraded to one of the nightly intel builds from: http://nightlies.videolan.org/ (I'm running 8.8.1 semthex with natit, btw) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/34886-choppy-audio-on-vlc/#findComment-247691 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mykell9999 Posted December 13, 2006 Author Share Posted December 13, 2006 hello, just an update on my choppy audio problem. It's solved! I used the kernel upgrade script and upgraded to the latest semthex kernel. audio playback is silky smooth now. Still can't say about the dual core issue, i had to change my processor to a celeron 2.66 ( which kinda blows ). Will report on the dual core issue after i get a dual core proc.
