He folks,
I have successfully installed Mac Os x 10.6.2 on my AMD system.. I got the audio working with voodoohda and also installed voodoohdapref
I able the output volume to show in menu bar however every time I want to lower or raise the volume the controller just reset to the same position as the output volume in system pref.
In addition I have keyboard with a volume up/volume down and it causes the same issue (it resets to the default position).
If I want to make the sound louder or lower I would have to go to system pref/ sound/output higher or lower.
Any possible solutions?

No, I didn't patch SystemUIServer.
However I'm having some issue with Marvin AMD utility, after creating cpuid/package cpuid the app itself is freezing. The only way out is Force quitting it.
It appears that the AMD Utiliy freezes when it comes across encrypted binary in both Create Patcher Package and Patch all cpuid using cpuid file.
So I tried patching the itunes folder.. and it worked flawless (which there wasn't any encrypted).
So any ideas?

You have to patch the SystemUIServer daemon (/system/library/coreservices) with Marvin's AMD Utility.
Yes, it also freezes here at the end but if you create the patcher package and then move the patches foldes to the root you should be able to run the patcher in single user boot mode. That would be the correct way of doing it cause SystemUIServer is open when the interface is loaded.
How you may ask, here is a step by step:
1- once marvin is done look in the desktop for the amd.patch.folder and move the "patches" folder to the root of the partition (/)
2- reboot
3- in chameleon boot in single user mode (-s)
4- follow these terminal commands:
/sbin/mount -uw / cd /patches/ ./replace.sh ./patcher ./cpuid.txt
Reboot, and now everything should be fine.
