I tried to get it to work on my laptop but I've been having bad luck, currently I got to the installation part, but it fails with it saying "The installer could not install some files in /Volumes. Hopefully you did something I didn't do that will fix the problem. I think you might have used a different installer or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaearon Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Bump!! Any chance you can tell us what packages you selected exactly? And any additional information pertaining to speedstep patch (such as did you install it right after the installer when you booted into it the first time? Thanks.

sappy Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 any idea how to get the sound working ? 9228? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatwad64 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I've given up on sound for the 9228. The only thing that i've been able to do is get sound to come out of the one headphone port. I even made my own codec dump with hda pathcher and no go still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sappy Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 id be happy with sound on the headphone port. how do you do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatwad64 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 follow the instructions earlier in the thread get the hdapatcher 1.16 and the codec dump for the 9228 from where all the codec dumps are located. After you download it just drag the txt file onto the hdapatcher icon and then reboot after its done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sappy Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 iatkos works great on the vostro 1400 for me. speakers don't work. only the headphone port, mem card reader not working, sleep issues, etc. but all in all. smooth sailing. i installed it without any other options except the speedstep app, but don't think it shows up.

meatwad64 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 if you use the speedstep kernel from the link it will show up in the menu bar but with iAtkos I had to use a different AppleACPIPlatform.kext to get battery to show up in the menu bar. I guess to the reason audio only comes out of the headphone port is the patcher can't map the ports right and won't work out of the internal speaker until the new patcher 2.0 is released.

partymonger Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Thats sad man..I thought hardware works the same way for most drivers be it on windows or mac, i guess im wrong..cant we jus call the company and get the details needed for makin the driver??

meatwad64 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 i heard recently linux had the same issue with this type of soundcard where many were only getting sound out of the headphone port. I don't know a whole lot about device drivers but i'm assuming maybe there is something that can be learned from the linux driver improvement. Anyone else think this is possible?

sappy Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 ubuntu works with this sound card. so in theory it can work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradsh Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I've got sound in the headphone port, no speakers, no scrolling touchpad (is there a driver for this that works for vostro 1400?), no shutdown, restart, or sleep. Other than that it works, but these problems are driving me nuts. I guess there is just not a fix right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Cyborg Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 To those who claim that their 8400M GS are working, please download some games and see how they run. On my set although the profile says CI and QE are accelerated, game tests prove otherwise. Just try both Windows and Mac versions to see the difference. Over here Windows runs at better than 60FPS. Mac version at somewhere below 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac version at somewhere below 8. I can't say mine is totally working in my Inspiron 1520. Its saying the same things as yours and recognizing only 64mb of VRAM. I only checked because I went to play World of Warcraft and it was slooooww. I'm merely content as of now and I'm eager for updates on the graphics (which will hopefully fix my boot/shutdown/sleep issues) and audio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
