CMOS-Reset Bug / VoodooHda Sound Distortion
 

2 unrelated bugs i can't seem to fix.

I understand the cmos reset can be fixed by editing certain values in the dsdt, but how would i go about doing this?

Voodohda is working nicely now that it is 64bit but whenever i wake from sleep the sound gets distorted.
Anybody have a solution for either of these issues....?

the search function does work well here ;)

for the voodoohda problem i used this workaround:

that seems to work!
cheers!

Thanx cili0 i'll check it out.........

I need some help... Sometimes when I sleep or when shut down doesn't work properly, my computer won't boot. I have to take my hard drive out so I can go into the BIOS, reset all the BIOS's settings, put the hard drive back in, and then boot like normal. VERY bad!

So, is there a fix? I already patched my DSDT with DSDT Patcher GUI. Any ideas? Would really need help on this.

I found this: http://netkas.org/?p=114 but I don't know what to edit it with...

Nevermind, figured it out. Just drug my .dsl file into iasl and out came dsdt.asl.

Everytime i drag my edited dsdt.dsl file into iaslme it does its thing but just gives me a folder with a log.......... WTF????

You have to open terminal. Drag iasl into the window, then drag your dsdt.dsl into the window, and press enter.

Didnt work....
Terminal says:
-bash: /Users/KiT/Desktop/iaslMe.app: is a directory

also, once i get this dsdt.asl file can i place it on the root and boot with it or do i have to compile it to dsdt.aml

For iaslme.app DONT use the terminal !
Drag an .dsl on the iaslme App Icon (which is on Desktop, where you want)= .aml is build (in in Session directory)
Drag an .aml on the iaslme App Icon = .dsl is build (same directory as .aml)
iaslme is an really needful Tool.
It has an the same command line iasl "in", but dont needs the terminal and does "know" what to do,
by AI : gets an .dsl dragged= compile an .aml, gets an .aml dragged=decompile to .dsl :)

That's not the app you need... It's just called "iasl". Should be in "Tools".

OK found it in tools folder.... ran it and got this....But no file

When you ran the DSDT Patcher GUI, did you get any errors?

You could try force compiling it.

made a new dsdt with dsdtpatcher...... this time with force compile
Edited the dsdt.dsl file changing the RTC line from 04 to 02 using textedit
opened terminal dragged iasl in the window
dragged my edited dsdt.dsl into terminal and hit enter

No File and this is my result....
What does the error Method local variable is not initialized mean??????

I noticed that sometimes in Safari, I'll be watching a Justin.tv stream, and when the tab isn't active, it'll make really crackling noises. Also does it when it's minimized.

I can't work out how to edit the files?
Do you know how to make this start and quit an application?

Can you upload that attachment somewhere.

I'm having this exact same problem on my recompile from a forced compiled dsdt, except with 1 error and 3 warnings. Did you figure this one out?

nope just ended up using a dsdt from this thread
