Hey guys ... I'm glad that we have WIFI right out of the box now! :D

But I have a small question for the curious ... do you guys think that it's possible to upgrade the CPU for these K50IN based computers? I'm having the X5DIN, with a P7450 and I want to upgrade it to P8xxx or P9xxx because I want to use Hardware virtualization.

I mean, I want to use Parallels for Mac, which requires VT-x on the CPU. Tell me what you guys think ... :)

Hey guys...i finally found a solution to make clean bootwithout sound assertion errors...i took into ioreg from MacBookPro 5,5 ( i know that the Asus K70IO uses MCP79 chipset and is the same hardware that the MacBookPro 5,1).

Just under device (HDEF) add:

"CodecAddressMask",
Buffer (One)
{
0x01
}

and compile....without thiss addon sound assertion is given. so final hdef in asus notebook will be:


Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)
{
Store (Package (0x0A)
{
"built-in",
Buffer (One)
{
0x00
},

"codec-id",
Buffer (0x04)
{
0x62, 0x06, 0xEC, 0x10
},

"CodecAddressMask",
Buffer (One)
{
0x01
},

"layout-id",
Buffer (0x04)
{
0x0C, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00
},

"PinConfigurations",
Buffer (0x20)
{
0x50, 0x40, 0x2b, 0x01,
0x41, 0x01, 0x10, 0x90,
0x40, 0x01, 0x10, 0x90,
0x20, 0x30, 0x8b, 0x01,
0x10, 0x01, 0xa0, 0x90,
0x30, 0xe0, 0xcb, 0x01,
0x60, 0xe0, 0x4b, 0x01,
0x70, 0x90, 0xab, 0x01
}
}, Local0)
DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0))
Return (Local0)
}
}

NOTE: PinConfigurations are from Linux Pin COnfig and are for other audio codec different.. i have ALC662.

Not i must study how to get all info from K50IN.kextto dsdt to use without this dummy kext and all to go.

Please try this and post your results...

DSDT is the great..for hackintosh..:)))

P.S: Does anybody know under what section i put dsdt injection for AR9285 into DSDT?

Hello...i have successfully enabled audio on my Asus K70IO notebook, ALC662 audio codec via DSDT. I have no sound assertions errors, all is working perfect.But i have one issue that i dont know how to fix.

if i boot into 64-bit mode...audio is working, but after 30seconds when i dont play music every 5seconds i hear click from speakers, so i think when after 30seconds user dont play any audio applehdacontroller goes to sleep and then checks ever 5seconds if is any music active and get click every 5 seconds. how to fix that? any clue or idea?

If i boot into 32-bit mode all is working perfect without click issue..so i want to use 64-bit mode...where to start begin to search?

i have snow leopard 10.6.5 retail. using dsdt patch for HDAC and HDEF injection and AsusK50IN legacy kext.

P.S: nobody is posting here...is this forum dead?

I don't know... It's kinda weird.

i think the reason nobody is posting is that we have reached full compatibility with OSX and just wait for the next update :) Maybe things change with 10.7 but i doubt it will ;)

Hi, guys! Thanks to you all I've managed to install the Mac OS X 10.6.3 iAtkos S3.v2 distro to my Asus K50IN laptop. Here's the problem - I've got everything working except the sound and the trackpad. I've tried to fix the sound problem, but I got kernel panic - I've added the Asusk50in.kext and HDAenabler.kext in /Extra/Extensions folder and replaced the AppleHDA.kext in /System/Library/Extensions and it F@#%ed up. What am I doing wrong? I'm relatively new to hackintosh, tried a million times with my desktop and didn't got it working right! Now I'm few steps away from the perfect Hackintosh and I really need your help!

OK, since my last post I've got everything working besides the external VGA output! Help needed again - I use Natit driver, but I don't know what EFI string should I use during install?

Dunno abot Natit i use chameleon graphic enabler these days ;)

Or is there any site that have the download links altogether?
