I will test this as soon as possible, just a thought, are you running the latest iTunes? Maybe try deleting iTunes's preferences (long shot, but who knows)

Attach your NVInject 64bit for 64bit full QE/CI, please

I use your com.Apple.Boot.plist and there is no info about QE/CI...

Also do not run PS2 and USB when laptop comes out of sleep... Is there a fix for this problem?

P.S. News from applelife.ru - AppleHDA.kext (by clubber_77) for our ALC662 will work soon on 10.6.2...

@flip360: I have finished reinstalling my Hack. To my surprise, I didn't need NV Enabler too, the Chameleon's GraphicsEnabler option made the graphics work.

I now also get dual monitor. It doesn't look right yet, but I think I'll find a solution for that later on. Still, I'll just say it, if there is anyone of you guys able to give a quick info about this. My bigger screen is 1600x900, but the pictures are not very clear. It seems that the resolution of the main screen (1366x768) is a bit stretched to fit in the bigger screen, and it doesn't look good at all.

Right, audio does work, but its got a lot of noise. It reminds me of the Aspire One, the mic created a lot of interference, unless turned way down...sadly, this does nothing here.

I have a interesting issue now, maybe be hackintosh related or just snow leopard related:

We use an xserve at work running 10.5.2 to host our files which we access on other machines running 10.5.2/10.5.7.

When I connect my hackintosh to the network, I can see the server, and connect to it, but its a slow connect, takes around 3-4 minutes to connect, and interestingly some files do not show up at all, and some are replaced with empty folders labeled like "1a3hb3" and so forth.

On the other machines, they connect fine, and even show the icon as a xserve, on snow leopard, it shows as just a share point or a windows pc icon.

Now, this xserve is full of errors and glitches, but last time I had a hackintosh connected to it was my MSI Wind on 10.5.7 and it worked fine

Any idea's on this one? As soon as things slow down, I'd like to test my Wind again, to see if its a server issue or just a snow leopard issue....

Cheers

Okay, well here's some progress on the sound, and it seems its related to the output settings.

Using the kext Flip360 posted, I can get sound, but with considerable noise.

I've been playing around with Apple's MIDI utility in the Utilities folder, with not bad success.

I set my speakers to 44100hz and 2ch 16bit, and it improved quite well, still some noise, but its honestly not bad.

But here is the interesting thing, and its an odd one. If while in the same menu, I choose my mic input, and begin to play with the channel slider on the mic, with itunes open, it sounds crystal clear. As soon as I let go of the slider, I get noise again.

As odd as it seems, it seems to work, so its possibly an issue to do with the mic causing such noise. Is it possible to blacklist the mic alltogether and not have OSX see it at all?

hello ryan,

i have the same thing in iTunes as you have but i dont know a workaround for that one.
VooDooHDA should work perfectly though...

RGGG · #78 11-25-2009, 09:02 PM

For me, I get static regardless of the application, but by playing around with the output settings using the MIDI control panel, I can reduce the noise.

I think the mic is causing the interference. If I can blacklist/remove OSX from seeing it, I think then sound would work flawlessly

I think that should be possible. You have an option NodesToPatch in the VoodooHDA, which helps you to modify the nodes.

I have been looking for documentations about that, but it seems that Slice among other guys are only talking Russian about this, and I can't understand a thing ... I have been using Translation, but it is still hard to understand their talk.

Do a google search using the term "VoodooHDA NodesToPatch" and you'll see these Russian threads.

I do not remember the right key, but I think there was a key called Enable which allows you to enable or disable a node. You just need to find which node is actually related to the Mic.

For now, I'm kind of very busy to look into it. When I get free time again, I'll see if disabling the Mic will also solve my noisy output.

Nevertheless, I doubt that it is the microphone which is causing this problem. I'm thinking that it is not the right output node that is used by VoodooHDA.
When I run vooodoohdahelper program, I see that there are a lot of disabled nodes. Maybe, one of these might be better than the one used by VoodooHDA ...

The reason I think of this, is that it says "Speaker (CD)" for my output, instead of a purely simple "Speaker". There is obviously something wrong in the way that this is guessing the right output nodes. Unfortunately and again, Slice is not providing enough documentation to help in solving this issue ... and the source codes are commended in Russian too ... :-S

I found the solution for this, and display are now great. I had to enable "Show displays in menubar" (in the Display section) and I got a menu which presented all the possible resolution which actually comes with the display refresh rate.

By default, the settings in the System Preferences is just displaying the resolution (no refresh rate) and the biggest resolution that my screen supports is by default run at 59.9 Hz. The little menu on the menubar displays the refresh rate, and offered another choise of 60.0 Hz.

Choosing 60.0 Hz solved the display issue, and now, I'm running a fully dual-screen setup.
