Davide-NYC Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 So my shopping finally came in and I built the system right away! This is what it consists of currently: MSI NX7300GS-MD256EH GeForce 7300GS 256MB 64-bit GDDR2 PCI Express x16 CORSAIR XMS2 1GB (2 x 512MB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) GIGABYTE GA-945GZM-S2 LGA 775 Intel 945GZ Micro ATX Intel Motherboard - OEM North Bridge = Intel 945GZ South Bridge = Intel ICH7 Video Chipset = Intel GMA 950 Audio Chipset = Realtek ALC888 Realtek ALC883 audio codec (corrected) LAN Chipset = Marvell 88E8001 Realtek 8110SC Gigabit Ethernet controller (corrected) Intel Dual-Core E2140 Allendale 1.6GHz LGA 775 Processor Model BX80557E2140 I installed Uphuck 10.4.9 v1.4i_r3 to a PATA drive I had lying around. When installing I chose no Patches/Drivers/Applications. I only checked the 1.4i package (the OS itself) Note: when erasing the drive I had to manually choose MBR partitioning scheme, since disk utility defaults to using GUID. Once I had the OS running, I then installed Diabolik's 10.4.9 Nvidia installer (DiaboliK.1049.NVidia.Installer.zip) All is well with video. Hooray. But I don't have working network or audio. Where are the best driver installer packages for my particular hardware located? Searching the forums is rather confusing for a noob. Ultimately I'm trying to build a super wide-screen quicktime movie player under mac osx for cheap. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

chevy2410 Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 If you go to the genius bar I'm pretty sure there is a fix for your network card and the audio. Correction, yes there is a fix for both. Check it out.

Davide-NYC Posted September 7, 2007 Author Share Posted September 7, 2007 I have installed (well over-installed, or "upgraded") to include the Azalia driver and the Marvel 88E8001 drivers from the uphuck DVD, but I still do not have working audio or network. Hmmm. So I then installed Skippyretard's ALC888 audio driver (ALC888Audio.mpkg.zip) and I still get nothing. Then I try Diabolik's azalia fix v.2 (ALC880.Azalia.Fix.v2.pkg.zip) and I get the sound icon! But that patch wasn't even intended for my hardware... ... and now I have stereo sound (albeit through the wrong output jack, but who cares?) This is weird. I am willing to do a clean install (erasing the disk) if any of you gurus think there is a chance that this hodge-podge of drivers might impact stability in any way. Onto networking!

chevy2410 Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 I would really consider doing a reinstall. After you installed the new drivers did you repair permissions? If not you might want to do that first and see what happens. If that doesn't work I would reinstall. It only takes about 10-15 mins depending on your cpu speed. It's worth it. BTW I have sort of the same specs as you: North Bridge = Intel 945G South Bridge = Intel ICH7 Video Chipset = Intel GMA 950 Audio Chipset = Realtek ALC882 Lan Chipset = Intel Gigabit Check this link out. I think it will get your ethernet card working. Also I was just cruzing through the green monster and found a driver pkg for your Marvell gigabit ethernet. Maybe try that one first. It's in the applications/Mac section. It was added Aug 30.

Davide-NYC Posted September 8, 2007 Author Share Posted September 8, 2007 Since the last post I've tried to get networking running by installing NeoPheus's installer (RTL1xxx_1.02.pkg.zip) with gave me no love. Then I tried installing DaemonES's pkg dierctly (RealtekR1000_release.pkg.zip) which worked!!! Until I tried to reboot. :mellow: Then *no networking love* once again. Man, I thought I was done and was really feeling lucky and happy. Oh well... @ chevy2410: Thanks for the info. I will try a clean install and get the file you mentioned from the green monster QUESTION: The chip on the mobo itself (looking at the mobo, not reading specs from websites and pdfs) say RTL8110SC. So shouldn't I be looking for RTL8110SC drivers instead of Marvell 88E8001 drivers? I'm confused. It turns out there are different revisions fo this board. I have THIS one. (Rev3.x) So I in fact have the following hardware: Northbridge: Intel® 945GZ Express Chipset Southbridge: Intel® ICH7 Realtek 8110SC Gigabit Ethernet controller Realtek ALC883 audio codec Clean install coming up...

Davide-NYC Posted September 8, 2007 Author Share Posted September 8, 2007 I am delighted to report that Video/Audio/Networking work out-of-the-box usisng uphuck's DVD. I chose the following drivers from the install selections: Nvidia Natit 0.2 Azalia Audio Realtek R1000 That was it. I'm totally psyched. @ Ahmad Moawya: I will install Skippy's ALC883 driver package (6port + digital) and will report back if it gives me mic input. [update #1] I can't seem to get the ALC883 driver to work. I installed it using both the 3 port no digital option and the 6 port digital option. Once I installed the ALC883 driver using either option I lost hardware detection, it showed no output device at all. So I installed the AzaliaAudio.pkg (vanilla 2 channel output) and all is back to square one. Which is fine with me although full hardware support for all of the audio I/O ports would be very cool. [update #2] Do I need to do yet another clean install? Should I not install an audio driver from Uphuck's DVD and *THEN* install Skippy's ALC883 package? Thanks for your help everyone!

chevy2410 Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 If you do another clean install I wouldn't install the audio driver from Uphucks dvd. I would install Skippy's driver after you get OS X booting. Now if you are going to upgrade to 10.4.10, do the upgrade first then install audio driver after.

Davide-NYC Posted September 9, 2007 Author Share Posted September 9, 2007 If I wanted to try to fix the audio *without* attempting a clean install is there a write-up or HowTo that I can refer to to help me with this? I don't want to re-intall a third time, but I will if I absolutely have to.

chevy2410 Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 If you really want to make sure everything is good to go, I would install again. Install only takes 15mins. Just skip the disk verification. This way you will know that nothing is messed up because you installed a driver and now can't get rid of it. Sometimes it's faster to install again then to try and fix the problem.

Davide-NYC Posted September 17, 2007 Author Share Posted September 17, 2007 Everything ROCKS! The only thing (that I have bothered to test) that isn't working is all of the audio support. I get two channel output no problem, and since I only have two ears I could care less about all those other audio outputs. I just wish the microphone input was working. @ sammosinga : Get the R1000 drivers here. The only things I would have done differently: 1) I would have chosen a 16x PCIe motherboard. (this up is really only 4x) 2) I would have chosen a better video card. (the one I got is single-link DVI only) Check out the video on YouTube!
