matix Posted December 8, 2005 Share Posted December 8, 2005 Hi all I've been thinking about upgrading my mobo to a 945 series mATX board. I need to know if The variant with: D945GTPLR: -sigmatel 9223 (with optical out) works. (dont care about the optical, but need to know about main audio out.) -The included Intel LAN 10/100 is supported? -Intel matrix raid working? -The firewire working? This board is reported to support all the way up to the conroe chips, which is part of the reason for upgrading, incase anyone is wondering. Also want Gma 950, SATA 2, fw, raid possibilities and of course, compatibility with a dual core proc. I am partial to an intel board b/c of, well a new found loyalty! I have been impressed with their product coming from the mac side. If anyone is running one of the other variants, please post your experience. The other board am considering is the plainest 945GTPL. The HCL page has little to no info on Intel branded 945 mobo's. TIA Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/5556-intel-945gtp-boards/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsavage Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 I have a 945p and the sigmatel 9223 card is killing me. BTW i don't think our boards will support all the way to conroe Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/5556-intel-945gtp-boards/#findComment-36061 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyrana Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 If you want a 945 board, make sure you get one with ALC882 if you want to make sure things work fine. And no, 945 will not support Conroe, even 975x might not.

Wayland Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 I have the Asus P5LD2-VM 945G P4 1066FSB LGA775 Motherboard and it works great. I got a 67.46 with my 630 pent. And thats with non-Sata So I would imagine I could get more! Hee hee. It worked with those 945 Kext updates though. Thank Cyrana for those goodies Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/5556-intel-945gtp-boards/#findComment-36273 Share on other sites More sharing options...
forcer Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 (edited) use board in my signature, works seamlesly in every aspect. but as I see on intel product page there are 2 models with 5.1 or 7.1 audio 6-channel (5.1) audio subsystem with three analog audio outputs using the Sigmatel 9220* audio codec is the right choice - 9223 is NOT working in OSX .

cyrana Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Just buy a different 945G board, then. As long as it has Intel Pro 1000/VM or whatever for ethernet, and then Sigmatel 9220 or ALC882 you should be fairly safe.

matix Posted December 14, 2005 Author Share Posted December 14, 2005 thanks guys I will just get the 945GTP with the 9220 audio. I have seen firewire cards for 20 bucks that work on mac. Raid is asking a bit much at this stage of the game. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/5556-intel-945gtp-boards/#findComment-36510 Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyrana Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 There are lots of better boards with 945G, I'd not get the intel, as it is less supported than most. Most 945G boards are fairly poort at OC, however. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/5556-intel-945gtp-boards/#findComment-36517 Share on other sites More sharing options...
forcer Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 I don't think that intel boards are less supported, but there is lack of features which someone could need. That is only problem I see.

cyrana Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Well, you can get non-Intel boards that have -everything- onboard that works out of the box...seems like that is a good thing.

Aquatype Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Hi, folks. I need your help on sound/Sigmatel 9220. Here's my system info: Mobo: Intel 945GNTLKR (i945/GMA950/Sigmatel 9220/Intel 1000Lan/1394 all in one). CPU: Pen 4 630 (NX/PAE) I installed native using 8F1111, just replacing oah files with Maxxuss TPM solution, and then upgraded to 8F1111A/G also using Maxxuss package. Install went without any single problem, it gives me perfect QE/CI, network and 1394 works fine. However, I do not have sound - I scanned the forum and added 0x10ec0882 to AppleAzaliaAudio.kext/Contents/Info.plist but it still does not work. I also added vendor/device ID as 0x76808384 to AzaliaController.kext/Contents/Info.plist but no success. Please enlighten me - sound is the only one that's not working for me right now. Thanks in advance. Edit : After rebooting 2 - 3 times, volume control appeared in the menu bar. Computer's front AND back pannel speaker jack does not give any sound output, but REAR line-out jack produces sound. Bit strange as in Win XP both speaker jacks work. Still, System Profiler shows "No information found" on Audio (Built In). Is this normal?

matix Posted December 29, 2005 Author Share Posted December 29, 2005 Well, I ended up getting an ASUS p5ld2-vm board. I won't be able to try it for a few days, though. It has intel gigabit lan, 945 G chips, ICH7 (no raid), no firewire. will post back with compatibility results.

errandwolfe Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 (for macosx_10.4.3_8f1111_for_dtk_userdvd.dmg) For all the folks reporting they have no sound...try plugging your speakers into Line In or Mic in. There is something about OS X that causes the audio ports to switch up for lack of a better term. Don't have the link handy but if you search win2osx.net there is a good thread discussing it. I was banging my head against the wall cause I saw OS X recognized the audio, but I was still getting no sound. Move my speakers from the green plug (line-out) to blue plug (line-in) and low and behold music from the heavens!
