grinsystem Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Im having issues getting Audio Working(on 10.4.8) on the ECS PT890T-A. The board South Bridge, which drives the audio(I assume )is a via VT8237A This makes it the audio drive by VIA VT1708A. In Linux this ends up running fine under the VIA82cxx module. With that in mind, Following the Audio guide(for ALC8xx) on the Genius bar, I try to setup the sound(I have not tried the Natit clone method yet and the alc655+VIA seems to produce no results also) I changed the 2 Info.plists to the following vendor/device id Vendor 1106 Device 3288 making it enter as 0x11063288 in the section IOHDAudioCodecVendorID Then for the other change, in the section IOPCIPrimaryMatch 0x17081106 Vendor 1106 Device 1708 These vendor/ids are from lspci from a Ubuntu live disc What I was wondering was This device even supported, if so, what solution should I try next? The Natit Clone method or ALC655 + VIA8237R fix again, with some modification? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12string Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 grinsystem, looks like were are the only two with this motherboard. Can you get SATA install? I was told try to get AppleVIAATA.kext from 10.4.7 and patch it. Ill let you know on the audio as I have it installed on an older ECS board with a patch.

nrvnqsr Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I recently built another hackintosh using this motherboard. SATA doesn't work for me either. I managed to get audio using a USB mic with audio-out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keeptruthfree Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 I'm setting up one of these ECS P4M900T-M (v1.0) boards up on OSX86 for a friend. Anything you've learned would help me enormously... I'm desperate. I've been successful with an Intel 945GPM (another friend) and my own mobo (Intel Bad Axe 2) but I'm stumped by this ECS board with the VIA chips. You're not the only three, nrvnqsr 12string & grinsystem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zorgog Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I'm running Leopard on the PT890T (Leo4all v2) which I bought from Newegg for $25!. I got sata to work by using pcmantinker's kext: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?sho...mp;#entry742821 I don't have sound yet, but that is the only thing that doesn't work.
