Andy on Athlon Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Hi all. New Hackintosh user here (long time OS X user, though); upgraded from a tired old G4 tower. This thing's great, really fast and stable. I have a couple of issues, though. I'll get to the point so as not to waste anyone's time: 1. When I boot my system, I have to unplug and re-plug my USB devices before they'll work. Is this normal, or is there a workaround? Relatedly, USB hubs don't seem to work. 2. My audio works when it feels like it. Which is almost never. Is there a better, more stable AC '97 audio driver around? System details: AMD Athlon64 3000+ (SSE2) eVGA nForce4 SLI motherboard + nForce onboard audio 2GB RAM PATA disks nVidia 7600 GT 256MB I can post whatever else you guys need, just ask. ISO used, System Profiler info.. whatever. Any suggestions?

Bencrutz Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Try JaS 10.4.8 Intel AMD SSE2 SSE3. Audio is ok on my machine. USB is a go, just usb headers (extension 2 front panels) on da mobo won't work. Plug an external USB HUB n it's working fine.

rgrodevant Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 You didn't specify what NIC you have, so this is a shot in the dark. The uh, non-standard broadcom 57xx .kext works for some people, but it makes my USB flaky and the keyboard intermittently non-responsive. I booted single-mode and deleted it, rebooted, there were my keyboard and USB periphs again. I wasnt able to use a mouse or external drive with that kext enabled. If you didnt use that particular kext, (temporarily) disable the kexts I'm guessing you've recently loaded for your other hardware. Move them to a temp folder, reboot ... You might find that one you've added is causing the problem. If your USB gets responsive again, then try re-enabling the addon kexts one at a time (reboot after each) until you nail down which one caused the problem.

hecker Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I would recommend you get tubgirl's 10.4.10 Test_1 for AMD instead of that of JaS. I always had USB problems and slow applications with JaS on my AMD rig. Cheers, hecker Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/61165-hackintosh-usb-audio-problems-suggestions/#findComment-447639 Share on other sites More sharing options...
xancliman Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 I have a DELL XPS M1530 and my USB works fine but they are very SLOW. I think they work like 1.1 USB....I don't like very much Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/61165-hackintosh-usb-audio-problems-suggestions/#findComment-926128 Share on other sites More sharing options...
