Have you tried using quicktime to record from your mic?

A mac won't play mic sounds through the speakers by default.

Hello, so MB version 1 and 2 will work correct?

Hi all,

I've got a rev 2 G31M-ES2L and a Netgear GA311 PCI card (RTL-8169 based).

I was having problems with internet connectivity, saying the cable was unplugged - messages "AppleRTL8169Ethernet: IOInterruptEventSource error"

I tried the Psystar driver, the driver from the Realtek website, a downloaded AppleRTL8169Ethernet.kext but still no joy.

In the end I deleted AppleHPET.kext and AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext from /System/Library/Extensions and everything now works.

Hope this helps somebody.

I have v2.0 board and the boot 132 method does not work for me. The installer fails. I have swapped memory, set BIOS to enhanced, etc., no luck. Any suggestions?

I have board rev 1.1 will this method work???

First of all, thanks so much for this Tutorial, its been a fantastic help.

I've managed to install Snow Leopard onto my pc, it's using the G31M-ES2L Motherboard, Intel core 2 Duo, 2GB Ram. If any other specs are needed please say?

I've followed the steps for putting files in the Extra folder, but the audio still doesnt work and the resolution isnt right (i need it to be 1366x768). Also the network settings arn't working. It doesnt allow me to chose any other connection methods (eg. Ethernet or Airport) apart from Built-in Serial Port for a dial up connection. Any ideas how to fix that problem?

I've double checked and i've copied LegacyALC883 into the extensions folder correctly. Also, another problem!, i have a Nvidia GT220 graphics card, but i dont think it's being recognised.

Any help regarding these issues would really be appretiated.

Cheers

I just want to share this: If you're looking for a rev 1.x G31M-ES2L mobo, there are some available on eBay right now (April 2010). I know because I just bought one from the guy. It's item 120445578721.

Most places won't tell you what rev they're going to send. They can't be bothered. I've written a lot of places & usually get that runaround. This guy's ad mentions rev 1.x. I messaged him first to double-check & he messaged right back saying yes, a rev 1.x is what he'd send. I ordered one and, sure enough, that's what it is.

I've had great luck with the G31M-ES2L running Leopard for about a year. Just updated to Snow. I decided to get another board & lucked out finding another 1.x.

To be clear - I don't know the seller and am not involved in the sale of these boards. Just want to get the word out to others who, like me, wouldn't mind getting ahold of one.

After much reading, re-reading and then realising I had missed the odd small (but very important) detail here and there, finally got my rig working.

Running the following:
Rev 2.0 board
Intel 4.6 Ghz chip
2 x 1Gb Corsair DDR-2 PC640 RAM
nVidia 8600GT
Belkin F5D5000ea (Realtek 8139 chipset)

Had took a while to latch onto the Rev 2.0, ethernet not compatible bit, then tried a D-Link 530TX NIC, which also failed - crappy VIA/Rhine Chipset. Once the Belkin was popped in, hey presto!

Next step is to pop Win7 on the second partition, then my life is complete!


One final question - can I simply buy a retail DVD of Snow Leopard and upgrade. Or would it be better to follow this process for SL??

Thanks again guys - top top work!!!
