Thanks Disco Monkey, I can confirm that the SleepEnabler included in that link does work under 64bit. Although I didnt delete any kexts other than SleepEnabler.

Thanks disco monkey for your upload.
Unfortunately the sleep doesn't work for me. I don't know why but system reboots while trying to awake.

I had the same problem.
make sure "start up automatically after power failure" is checked under Energy Saver options in system preferences.

Hi Guys

I've spent an already unhealthy amount of time on this so I thought it was time to ask for some help :P

I'm using the Rev 2 version of the G31M and as of yet have only managed to get 2.0 PCM out of my SPDIF optical out on 10.6.6 using VoodooHDA.

Would anybody with working digital out please upload their audio kexts (and dsdt edits) if needed so I can get this damn thing to work!

Many thanks in advance,
Scott.

I've had my Hackintosh working through this thread for some time, probably a year by now, and have no real issues with it. Firewire works, sound is through an iMic USB connector, Ethernet is a PCI Realtek card and I use a silent Asus 9400GT card. It's a nice quiet quad core system that I don't really tinker with as I use it day in day out.

The only problem I've has is getting sleep to actually work, as far as I can see I have never got sleep to work in 10.6.2,10.6.3,10.6.4,10.6.5 and now 10.6.6.

I have tried numerous sleepenablers, DVD's in drive's, anything and everything, even going to the expense of building a new identical system just to try things out.

I have installed the latest 10.6.x sleepenabler, added the pmVersion=21 to com.boot.apple.plist and tried setting things in the System Preferences.

I set the monitor to two mins and the computer sleep to two mins and have ticked the four checkboxes underneath "Put the hard disks to sleep when possible", "Wake for Ethernet access", "Allow power button to put computer to sleep" and "start up automatically after a power failure".

After two mins of inactivity the screen goes blank and I need to waggle the mouse to get it to come back.

So how do I know the system hasn't gone to sleep in this time as well and it's got an instantaneous startup (which is possible). Should CPU fans spin down? should all the power lights on the box go off? Since the screen's gone I can't see anything happening there. Should there be console messages? I know this sounds a bit lame (and a dumb question), but any help would be great here.

Thanks,

Rob.

I know it's bad form to quote your own submission but in this case I'll make an exception as I finally appear to have automatic sleep working, which is pretty damm pleasing

The one hassle I have on my desktop is the lack of automatic sleep through the Energy Save in the System Settings. It has never worked and I know many people seem to have had the same problem.

Many months ago, somebody stated they used PleaseSleep to make this work, it never worked for me so I gave up. I have just tried it again and it does work. I set the Energy Settings to one minute and after one minute the machine goes to sleep. Lights go off, fans stop working and my machine is asleep. There are no dvd's in the drive, no other hacks.

The sleepenabler is the one for 10.6.x from Google with voorflags set in /Extra/com.boot.apple.plist.

The last thing is that it will not awake from keyboard or mouse, I need to bend over and press the power switch. This I will live with.

Yours,

Rob.

sorry for the late response

a) you know your system is sleeping b/c you can hear the @#%@#% fan (if you have one plugged in to you mobo sysfan) stop
b) I posted back ~15 posts ago that I also had trouble for a long time, and *for me*, the difference to getting sleep to work (with SleepEnabler) was the choice of which fakesmc I used. I'm not smart enough to explain why it made a difference.. but for me, that made the difference.

Thanks for the reply.

I changed out every component on the computer for ultra-quiet stuff, so the fan is silent even when you open the case and put your ear next to it, same for PSU and all other fans e.g. I run a silent Asus 9400GT card. Which makes it difficult to hear anything The machine is genuinely silent.

What I found was that the lights do go off on the case.

I haven't changed the fakesmc kext over, but wonder if PleaseSleep has the same functionality?

Do you have to press the power button to resume from sleep or can you do this from the mouse or keyboard? I have to use the power button.

If you ping it, and it doesn't respond, it's asleep. And if you look at console messages after you wake it up, you'll see:

Jan 18 18:37:06 bens-iMac kernel[0]: System Sleep
Jan 18 22:49:41 Bens-iMac kernel[0]: Wake reason = UHC4
Jan 18 22:49:41 Bens-iMac kernel[0]: System Wake
Jan 18 22:49:41 Bens-iMac kernel[0]: Previous Sleep Cause: 0

I recently moved my box to do HTPC duties and started using the digital out, using an alleged gigabyte widget off ebay that connects to the digital out header on the mobo..it has coax and optical out... I'm finding that it seems to randomly(?) pick which of those 2 is active.. so I'll have sound showing as an output, but get none.. I go to my rcvr and toggle the audio in btw coax-1 and optical-1 and I get sound again.. anyone else see this and have a solution to get the result to be predictable?
