nevesis Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 (edited) Knowing that ASUS manufactures the Macbook 13", and seeing the similarities in design and specifications, I figured this would be considerably easier. Alas: Audio: Soundmax 1986 doesn't work. I've spent the last 3 hours trying everything in the forum. The most I've gotten was the HD Audio Device to show, with movable volume bars... but no output. Every other solution I have tried fails to show an audio output device. Nothing so far has shown an audio input device. Wireless: Everything I've read seems to say that the Intel 945abg wireless compatibility is BETA at most and completely unstable. Because of this, I haven't yet attempted it. If anyone has any positive experiences and wants to help me take a gander, let me know! Camera: Again, haven't yet tackled it. Some Googling looks like macam is a possible choice. Suspend: When the machine goes into suspend, it refuses to come out, unless I reboot. For now I've simply disabled suspend. I'm looking into the kernel patch with the speedstep/s3 sleep extensions. The OS also reports my memory wrong -- as 2gb instead of 1gb. Otherwise everything is working. I installed the Realtek nic driver without any problems. The OS seems stable, and is relatively speedy. If anyone has any suggestions or has an a8f notebook themselves that they've been attempting to configure, please leave a message! I'd really appreciate any help -- I'm completely new to OS X, though I have previous *nix experience. Thanks!

nevesis Posted March 8, 2007 Author Share Posted March 8, 2007 Start here: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showforum=45 Thank you -- I've been there though, and thoroughly scoured for help with my audio. I even printed the HDA solution thread. No luck. That's also where I found the suspend fix, but the link is down. Thanks though!

WaldMeister Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Maybe this could help with the audio problem http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=33022&hl=Soundmax+1986 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/44645-asus-a8f-notebook-problems/#findComment-319653 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevesis Posted March 8, 2007 Author Share Posted March 8, 2007 hmm.. from that link: On terminal, type: sudo vi AppleAzaliaAudio.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleAzaliaController.kext/Contents/Info.plist Search for "IOPCIPrimaryMatch" pressing "/" on vi: <key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key> <string>0xNNNN8086</string> (where NNNN are any 4 characters) change: [/indent]<string>0xNNNN8086</string> -- to -- <string>0xuid device </string> (note: for Via ADI1986a, the string is probably correct without any edit) I've done this, but I used 27d88086 and the original 28whatever one. Any idea on how to find my specific uid device?

nevesis Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 Well, only in windows....Hardware, select audio, right click, properties, advanced.... Don't forget to delete AppleHDA.kext. Here is what I have: Location ID: 65535 (Internal HDA bus) Device instance ID: HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_11D4&DEV_1986&SUBSYS_10431153&REV_1005\4&1D31F387&0&0001 How do I determine the "uid device" from this?

WaldMeister Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 <key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key> 0x198611D4 if i'm correct Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/44645-asus-a8f-notebook-problems/#findComment-319718 Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevesis Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 (edited) <key>IOPCIPrimaryMatch</key>0x198611D4 if i'm correct I've already tried that without luck. But it appears from that forum that the "uid device" is different. In the default configuration, for example, the "hardware id" is 0x10ec0880 and the "uid device" is 0xNNNN8086 (where NNNN are any 4 characters). Since 0x11D41986 and 0x198611D4 are simply in reverse order, and 0x10ec0880 and 0xNNN8086 appear to be completely unrelated.. I can only guess it is incorrect.
