Asus P6T SE Retail Snow Leopard Installation Guide [FLASHDRIVE] [UPDATED JUN. 28]]

[Bchemist]

Thanks ktfn, that kext has better audio quality, but alas, only the same audio port works.

 

 

 

This question made me curious....so I went to the Apple website. Check this out:

 

http://www.apple.com/macpro/specs.html

 

The Mac Pro....the "King" of Audio/Video seems to have 1 audio out! It begs the question if most or all other macs are like this as well? In the case of Audio/Video editing you wouldn't use PC or home speakers anyway since it they don't give you an accurate perspective of the sound you are producing on a "universal" level.

 

For that you need firewire based audio interfaces and then reference monitors that are not played for the sake of enjoyment since you wouldn't turn them up past a loud speaking tone due to needing clarity and minimizing sensory fatigue. This is ironic since the best of the lower end reference speaker sets cost about $3000 and go up from there...again you never turn them up loud even though their magnets are very heavy duty...just like a CRT HD reference video monitor costs about $25,000 where it's about universal playability...not about your personal enjoyment. Again this would explain why there isn't much in-between what is used by pros and Mac purists (poseurs) who spend $2500 for a laptop mainly to check their e-mail at Starbucks.

 

I've seen Hacks use multi-speaker setups where more than one port works, but now I'm really beginning to wonder if it was multi-channel sound. Instead it was probably just the same channels with an additional layer at each port. But I'm just speculating. Even though my MacBook can handle Logic Studio and is promoted as such (although it's painful and I wouldn't recommend any pro-end work until i7 hits Mac tops...to crash prone and slow) it just has the standard headphone out and regular notebook speakers.

 

So I may be wrong, but this may one of those things that we cannot fix since Mac doesn't seem to support it in the least.

Just wanting to check on this first. Is it safe to apply the Security Update 2010-001 release on the 10.6.2 install ?

 

I can't really afford any downtime so don't want to risk it without confirmation.

I just did the update, no problems here.

Cheers, I'll give it a go on Monday morning I reckon.

Time for another kext to go away!!! No need for openhaltrestart or EVOreboot kexts anymore!!! Take a look here...

My extra folder whitout restart kext i use the last Booter_AsereBLN_v1.1.7 all working charm whit last dsdt from Bchemist,only the hda audio dont works spdif digital audio pass-through from my nvidia hdmi exit to my lcd tv

[marc5]

I too have done the asereBLN 1.1.7 update.

 

so far alls good.

 

plus, i've updated the bios to 0704 too.

 

so far so good. managed to squeeze the kext list down to the list below in the extras folder

 

applehda

fakesmc

hdaenabler

IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector

Dual monitors are now working for me, XFX 4870 512, under 10.6.2. Before the update be sure to delete the sleep enabler kext to avoid kernel panic. Waking from sleep almost works now. The monitor does wake up now and I can see most of my desktop but the screen is still partly scrambled. I'm going to try qe_ci_exotic_10.6.2 and the 10.6.2 sleep enabler from netkas to see if I get anywhere. It seems like the 4870 should be fully supported under 10.6.2.

 

EDIT: after update, no more audio support! -> actually HD audio is working from the port built into my case, but not the audio port directly on the board (the one on the back).

 

sorry if I sound condesending but did u try to change the output from the audio pref pane? I got all all 3 working, forward rear and spdif.

 

I also use a nifty program from rogue amoeba that places an icon at the menu bar, that allows me to change outputs on the go.

[orionquest]

How much of an improvement if any does this new bootloader add? I've got a perfectly working hackintosh with chamleon v2 r4.

 

thanks

*sigh* I'm an idiot, I DO have both audio ports working, I just have to select them; thanks for the heads up! Are you using sound source from rogue amoeba? On my linux partition both ports are enabled by default so I guess I expected the same behavior. Thanks again

well, so far its 2 kexts less and the memory speed and manufacturer is autodetected. no need to edit the smbios.plist. Performance wise, the boot file is smaller. Everyother improvement is transparent i suppose.

 

 

 

@rnahelicase, well, it happens. as long as it works.

[Bigredfirecracker]

Network sharing issues.

 

I've got 2 p6t se 920 i7 hackintoshs running 10.6.1 from the tut at the start of this thread

I use them as render nodes for c4d running 64bit and mostly everything works fine connecting to them from a macpro.

 

BUT

Sometimes I can see them and exchange files and other time they don't play ball and I get a message saying the server can't be found or words to that effect.

 

I've tried updating one of them to 10.6.2 but then it just KP on bootup.

 

Anyone else had this, knows and answer?

 

Cheers

[iBatt]

this seems liek the hardest thing to do

[marc5]

just follow the instructions

[wahwahman89]

Thanks - extremely easy installation. Had to boot with -x the first few times though because of my graphics card (NVidia GeForce GT220) - will be typing up a guide for that soon.

 

Thanks again, brilliant!

[inoreader]

Hi all

 

I have followed the guide, read it, re read it and and re read it all again. after booting up from the usb stick with -v i get a kernal panic about o caller 0x2a6acz. i am stried with as a single hdd in ahci, even with speed step off. i have upgraded the bios with the link in the first post but am still having no joy.

 

any ideas?

 

forgot to mention i have also tried with EFI 10v3 .

ip6t se mobo

[andrew79]

People get ready. 10.6.3 update is coming Some sites report that next week it will be available through software update.

 

Bchemist so far no problems with your dsdt

Are you sure that your restored snow leopard image is ok? Also search this thread for detailed bios settings. Many of us posted about our settings some time ago.

[inoreader]

i have checked and double checked. only one sata hd in first connection. boot from usb -v command and i get this error.... any ideas any one?

remove NullCPUPowerManagement

 

if that dont work

try booting on 32 bit mode

do you have dsmos AND fakesmc on /extra/extension? if so remove dsmos

[inoreader]

is NullCPUPowerManagement on that extras folder aswell?

 

the essitals folder is just what i downloaded from page one, other than copying the efi boot over camelion

[japhex]

When re-encoding on handbrake64 (the same file as a benchmark) I get way faster fps if using nullcpupowermanagement... any toughts? (not using c1e or c-states, just plain 920+ht)

 

PS: with the mp4.1 speedstep dsdt fix i get the same fps. (Bchemist does the same on his dsdt)

I have done alot of work on the p6t non deluxe model. Please check out my latest posts at fleebailey33.org And if you guys use any of it just please leave nice comments and give credit.

 

I got lots of stuff working. Also it is a modded chameleon rc4 by prasys that included many of those fixes from that new bootloader, but more fine tuned for a p6t, i figure it should be very similar for your board.

i have tried removing NullCPUPowerManagement from the extras folder on my usb stick. still same error message. how do i boot in 32bit mode?

 

i am using the correct bios version, the only things i have changed is hard drive to achi and connected it in the first sata port. why am i having so many problems yet there seem to be so many happy users out there following this guide!?

 

from my screen shot, i think it might be the dsmos.kext as this is the bottom of the eorror message

 

 

is there a new compiled essentials folder where other users modded files have been updated? rather than trawling though 22 pages getting the best ones?

[fleebailey33]

@draz1k

please try my site and the things i listed. also make sure your on 10.6.2

 

 

 

damn, i thought this was the regular p6t thread. still "Alot" should apply.
