/ UPDATE 24/10/09; - added VoodooBattery.kext for laptop battery managment, 32 and 64bit ! - added newer VoodooHDA, with better support, including getting my "mic in" working, still no internal mic.…

This guide is a long read, but very VERY simple. People with little experience, don't be scared to try, just be sure you have backed up all you important data as we need to have a clean HD to start with. UPDATE 22nd September - Added Snow…

Must be doing something right! Just audio away complete SL install. I edited the smbios.plist to mimic a Macbook Pro 5,1 since I've got a very close match, and system profiler reads correct Ram and CPU (although says CPU unknown... help…

Tal como o titulo diz. Não é que eu seja o maior geek disto, mas terei todo o gosto em ajudar como puder!

Technical notes, hardware configuration, and community findings for Dudes, Portuguese is one of the major languages and it's not here (International).

I know I've asked this before in the already huge SL install tutorial thread made by SaCleoCheater, but I am 50% away from SL GM and hungry to give it a go, and learn with the process, and help others myself! get some issues out of the way…

I cant figure out EFI Studio. I've just finished booting Snow, both 32 and 64. To my surprise, just copying my Leo's gfx string, without enablers, woke up full resolution QE CI, well, like in my sig. I saw in System profiler that audio did…

I managed to fix my audio. Went through hell, and even others went there for me. dsdt, appleHDA patching etc etc... To them, a warm hand of applause, this community is simply fantastic! It finally came down to not properly understanding…

EDIT: All of you with great knowledge, help me out and I will catalgue the answers a make a a great and full thread dedicated to "Snow Kitty OSx86 Install for Dummies" - sort of a diccionary of concepts to help end honourable) noob spam -…

As title indicates, This thread will NOT answer questions about install procedures. Also avoid post install questions, unless of course, it is related to topic. So forget about VoodooHDA, think DSDT with vanilla AppleHDA It was created for…

“thanks for the reply Ah, ok, you can actually flash a BIOS to mimic hardware change... ouch! no thanks. The thing is kizwan, if I remove the DSDT.aml file, my system boots (Leo) and behaves the same! Which is really weird since I have perfe…”

“I dont mean to hijack the thread, but what beeter place for 2 quick DSDT questions for people who actually seem to know what they are talking about ! No one has been able to answer me, well... because no one seems to actually KNOW what they…”

“Hi Snow ! I am happy to announce that your guide works like a charm with my laptop. I want to give you 20 thumbs up, but I only have two Your guide not only was the only one so far to work, but is so well thought out it was also the only gu…”

“This is specifically for gigabyte mobo right? You should edit the title, because use laptop users dont need most of the kexts (openhalt, nullpower, etc) Please correct me if I am wrong. Snow Leo really is a much tougher cat to tame, I find …”

“Morm, Following Kings guide, I'm already stuck. Downloaded graphviz and codecgraph, followed everything exactly (not really a big deal) - but when I type in the terminal the "/codecgraph codec_dump.txt" it brings back Whats wrong ?”

“You're having similar issues as me, same "goto" lines etc. Going to try kings tutorial once more, now that I've got my correct codecs, but I always seem to have issues recompiling dsdt... Why wont iaslme let me recompile?”

“But I cant compile, no output aml with iaslme app... tried 3 times What about my codec dump, didnt you need it? Codec 0 was the right one”

“You'll be as famous as fassl and netkas man loool... this is a huge deal with many laptop alc889a !”

“Yes,... and you pasted BELOW layout-id.. Oh please, lets not make a big deal out of this... You know what you are doing, I dont! I'm just following your lead. I am your dsdt bitch right now repalced the whole hdef section with what you aske…”

“Man, you last quote (dsdt correctly pasted by you) right now didnt load ! I only just saw it! Going to compile.”

“Waiting for you input if the example above is correct. You say "place about layout-id" but I think you may have meant "below" yes, that config data from info.plist inside applehda/AppleHDAHardwareConfigDriver/plist/etc etc I assume that is …”

“@ Gurruwiwi Doesn't matter. As long as it appears as above but with your configdata instead. Morm, please bear with me... this is all brand new territory for me. I did ask you precisely that, and you replied the quote above! Ok... so I copy…”

“Ok got my configdata to text pad, then copied to dsdt format, had to add 4 lines from your quote above, so I just followed the line numbering. Could that imply I need a higher hex "buffer" values, if mine is 4 lines longer its not going to …”

“Morm, while I was waiting I ran a small test. I think it can be useful for others to know, to not judge a KP on its own. I cyclically rebooted in verbose, changing nothing. There is a sort of a pattern. First reboot from "mapped - sound- bu…”

“Quick question. Do I just copy the one you pasted into my dsdt then modify ConfigData to match it, or the other way around?”

“Holy sh... Ok, off to work on that right now! EDIT: LOL.. morm, I just booted into SL to start editing DSDT again, did nothing at all except pop in the SL HDD, no sound, but audio is fully mapped, and present in system preferences, active a…”

“Man, I did nothing except normal reboot ... I go get the codecs”

“Right, but I have NO SOUND ! Plus, I went into a linux live CD, got the dumps, reboot x32 and now the mapping is again different showing only digital out, and again nothing in system prefenrences. anyways, here is the dump. used because cod…”

“:-& F*CK man... I just rebooted into x64, nothing, back to normal port mapping, no sound. So I wanted to aggregate device (never done it, wanted to try and see), so I reboot into x32 GONE ! nothing, just like before... nothing in system pre…”

“MORM ! "3" did nothing but... "0" DID ! (weird, but...) During verbose boot it trigger double the errors assertion"0" I have different port mapping in sys profiler (my system spec precisely!) , but I now have options in system preferences a…”

“AAAAAH ! Got it ! Plist editor is a MUST ! thanks for the tip! Rebooting with "0" them "3"... be right back”

“Morm, Tried both with 3 and 0... just to double check, mind taking a look if I did it right? back no audio devices listed is system profiler. because your path still confuses me (yep, read your PM). You seen, inside the plist, ther is no "/…”

“Delete the kext from folder, then go to spotlight and write "disk utility", choose system drive and click Repair Permissions.”

“Mormegil, sorry, got confused. trying to follow your path... after info.plist, I open with text edit and only find Slighty confused, because I cannot find the rest you mention”

“New dsdt with both your address 2 and 3 patch bring back "your dsdt" mappings, except audio ID read 889 not 12. What do you say, keep trying this new dsdt or the one you made? going to attempt your latest suggestions on your address 2 patch…”

“I certainly will ! But I just tried that app and copied in the HDEF fix, and for the first time EVER I managed to compile a DSDT.aml, zero errors ! (first mpart exactly like you did, second with the missing code that Snow has and I dont tha…”

“aaaarggg... tried dumping with voodoohdahelper.. got "dylib" error, which I know I fixed before, fixed it again, ran the dump again, no dylib errors but still error: IORegistryEntryGetPath returned 0x10000003 I cant find my wifiway linux di…”

“Back to no Audio devices listed. So far, only vanilla AppleHDA and patched with the first two plist you did for Snow (which I guess are the one he updated the first post with) wake up the ports... isnt this just frustrating”

“forgot to upload dump... I'm at work now, so I'll only be able to try later on.”

“Ok, I think this might do it. A codec dump for acer 6920g - 00:1b.0 0403: 8086:284b (rev 03) and has the same DeviceID / sybsystem as me. Mormegil, up for some more of your black magic? : And if you show me how, I'll be glad to take it from…”

“What if a port shares 2 connection? I'll look for my codec dump. UPDATE: I found this, possible codec dump. The susbsytem is 0x10250146 which maches what my system profiler Device ID number. its for the same chip, and from a close acer mode…”

“Dudes! Just found out more relevant info. Check this out... patched with address 3, no verbose message, system profiler looses ports. patched with address 2, assertion "0" errors in boot, sys profiler shows 1 digital port Then I saw that th…”

“Yep, laptop here, I did follow Snow's tutorial in the first page, if I patch vanilla AppleHDA, I loose system profiler devices. Just tripled checked with google, and linux folk normally take no prisoners... laps pecs.com/wiki/acer+aspire+69…”

“Yup, check it out. First I'll try mormegil's compile with patched AppleHDA. For learning sake, I tried to copy Snow's entry code, but I cant recompile no matter what I am sure its a .dsl file, it outputs one error, says done, but no aml to …”

“I tried that! I just found out something. In Snow's file he has While I only have I seem to be missing alot of code! And what about the first entry I seem to be missing too? Are you sure mormegil?”

“Yes, I have, I only tried the 3out2in HDA and analog for 889 and 885. And yeah, one at the time, since they are all named the same Once I tried all layouID's ( "0", "65647 something", and "889"'s) In Snow's dsl he has two HDEF entires, I on…”

“Great stuff man! Question: So you dont need Legacy kexts? Off to review my dsdt again!”

“moremegil, Re-installed fresh with your dsdt, vanillaHDA and legacyHDA kext. I can now see all devices Intel High Definition Audio: Device ID: 0x10250146 Audio ID: 12 Available Devices: Internal Microphone: Connection: Internal Speaker: Con…”

“Sure, post number one of this very thread. Did you try the steps?”

“Sorry to be annoying... Back to Leo, tried another combo, but it KP'ed, and always panics if I try to repair - "repair package" thread. So I'm screwed. Tried with Kext Utilities, third boot round managed to finish without KP. But Snow is go…”
