macgirl Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 P.S.: out of curiosity, why won't you upgrade your MacPro's RAM? Using a beast of a machine like the MacPro (even the 2006 model) with that little amount of RAM is kinda heartbreaking. Well is not of my property, it's office's, also is a Mac Pro Gen 1 so there is no Mountainl Lion for that Mac Pro. Also the XPS is from office, so I dont want to spend money on them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I downloaded those and even with help of Slice I can not make it work. The thing with AppleHDA is that the Microphone is not working at all, so I can get sound from AppleHDA or Mic with VodooHDA.

macgirl Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Perplexing. I suppose that we do have different sound cards after all.... I dont know if the cards are different or configurations are diferent, since I got 2 WLAN cards, one is the Intel that came with the laptop and the other one is a Broadcom that I purchased on eBay to have "Airport" in Mac OS X, Althoug the cards are the same in M1330 and M1530 I saw differences in Pinconfigs and dumps from other operating systems. Yesterday I need to replace/remove several kexts linked to IOUSBFamily and IUBluetoothFamily becoause som installation packages fail becaus kextcache report failures with those kexts, so far the XPS is working fine in Mountain Lion.

My Intel card is the 3945ABG, but I dont think that is a problem or conflict fot the sound card, I will try enabling the loggin in VoodooHDA an see if I can catch something.

immo Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 Long time ago I made a guide for installing Leopard on XPS-M1330, since I got real Macs and Mountain Lion on them, I left the forum before Snow Leopard appeared, now I trying to have Snow Leopard on my XPS, everithing works except audio and I am kind of lost. I tried VoodooHDA with no success, I am confused with the HDEF patch, how do I make the patch or what do I need to install besides VoodooHDA? Thanks, and excelent effort with the DSDT. macgirl -- Well I got sound but only in the Hearphone Jacks, speakers doesn't produce any sound at all. Nice to see you back MacGirl! Your guide was the first guide I read and used when I entered the scene years back Thank you. Not great news about the sound card. There are at least two variations of sound on the M1330, and on one of them sound does not work from the speakers. This is a problem that a number of M1330 users have reported, and to the best of my knowledge nobody has figured out how to solve it Immo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am confused, ML doesnt need Extensions.mkext anymore but if I dont rebuild the one in /Extra folder changes aren't made. About the sound card I will use the VoodooHDA since headphonesan Mics works, with AppleHDA I get speakers only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Following a kext installation, repair permissions then simply delete the obsolete Extensions.mkext along with the kernelcache in the /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup directory then reboot. The kernelcache will be automatically regenerated by the system upon reboot. Just for reference, here are all the latest files (kexts, plists and DSDT) needed to viably boot and operate the XPS M1530 under the OS X 10.8.x XPS M1530 - 10.8.x.zip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theconnactic Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Hi! In Mountain Lion, unlike anterior iterations, these kexts should be installed at /S/L/E. Good to know you decided to give ML a go on your system. Are you using the patched 10.8.x kernel from AnV? All the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the kernel I am using is the Vanilla one from 10.8.3 So you dont need to replace IOUSBFamily.Kext and IOBluetothFamily.kext ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarwinX Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Thanks a lot, where do you put the extensions? If I compare to the first post only FakeSMC goes to /Extra/Extensions As theconnactic has already mentioned, ever since the OS X 10.7, the /Extra/Extensions directory along with the Extensions.mkext itself is now completely obsolete and unnecessary. ALL kexts are now to be installed into the /System/Library/Extensions directory as the kernelcache could only by generated from there and nowhere else. Ohhhh, thanks again. No, the kernel I am using is the Vanilla one from 10.8.3 So you dont need to replace IOUSBFamily.Kext and IOBluetothFamily.kext ? To the best of my knowledge, in our systems the regression of the USB and the Bluetooth kexts is unnecessary as they are all "vanilla" under the 10.7.x - 10.8.x Hi! In Mountain Lion, unlike anterior iterations, these kexts should be installed at /S/L/E. Good to know you decided to give ML a go on your system. Are you using the patched 10.8.x kernel from AnV?

luaduck Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I get the feeling I've made a moumental cockup somewhere, but here goes: I updated from 10.8.2 to 10.8.3 using Combo, making sure to move AppleGraphicsPowerManagement.kext out as suggested by immo here before rebooting. It did come with an interesting side effect, though, with a lovely [ PCI configuration begin ] hang and a stuck pinwheel. I've tried all the tips that google can provide, like graphicsenabler=no, npci=0x2000, and PCIRootUID=1 with no avail. Any ideas? I can't even boot into single-user mode as it's hanging way before then. Did I just forget to recopy some kexts or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
