Please add your signature to your posts this help's others help you. NO that was Extra/Extensions Not 'AND'...

Your audio should be working without anything else.. I think you should read Guide carefully before rushing

off elsewhere. USB wireless IF it is a proven compatible type will probably require some research unless

someone currently posting here has/had the same Brand & model as yours..

 

Signature added. Thanks for letting me know, I'm new to this - sorry! The audio isn't working at all. It wont play videos or music. I press play an it just stays in the same spot. Should I delete it the kexts from either Extra or Extensions so that they only exist in one of those folders? Will that make a difference? I have read the guide over and over and I'm just getting more and more frustrated as every day goes by. The USB wireless thing isn't a big deal, I'm not worried about that too much at the moment. I'm moreso worried about getting the audio/video working and once I can get that going then I'll hopefully be able to get the wireless working. I'm starting to think that a hackintosh isn't worth the time and frustration :)

Hi

post here that DSDT you extract from "windows"?

 

We take a look.

 

Fabio

 

Thank you very much. Here is my dsdt:

DSDT_920_P6TSE.zip

 

The reason is..

You need a minimum of 5 valid messages to download files...

 

Fabio

 

How can I have this 5 "valid" messages? I have more and they are not a kind of "flood", but I am not able to download files. :)

Delete from Extra. The reason for specify Extra/Extensions is to specify path. Yes you should remove the audio kext

you installed. I'm not sure what damage installing it may of done ie if it changed or replaced one that it should not of.

Compared to what had to be done a few years back this is easy. Unfortunately most of the complication's you've had

have been self inflicted.. In iFabio's post #4 it specifies "A legacy only for P6T SE with ALC1200.kext and OrangeIconFix.kext all-in-one". The kekt you installed was also an ALC1200kext (same by name maybe !!)

If audio is not working you will see at bottom of post #1 'dgobe' a download for 10.6.4 audio patch & install directions

Although I'm not 100% sure, this should also suit your board. As I tried to say before read carefully. I'm not trying to

be rude here but I'm just repeating what is already in dgobe's Guide

I also see you have 6GB of Ram so you possibly will need AppleVIATTA.kext in Extra/Extensions as well.

Good Luck

what you posted is the "Virgin" there s no fix inside...

 

The proble is the new BIOS...

is related to OperationRegion (RAMW, SystemMemory,

and this affect all new Asus X58 board...

I fix this problem time ago.

You simply mod the DSDT or download an already patched DSDT...

I think, it is something with my router. So one more qwest. Is it possible to make coaxial spdif work? I can only connect to my yamaha with coaxial spdif... And is it possible to make 5.1 work? I see that only stereo works with spdif.

A new problem... In about my mac is shown that I have only 2 gigs of RAM, but I have 6! I am on 10.6.0 and in extra folder have only fakesmc.kext and P6T-SE.kext What is wrong?

PLEASE ADD YOUR SIGNATURE

Did you remember to run installer pkg after S/L started & add DSDT iFabio supplied to you ?? Read back couple of pages

as post's relate directly to what you need. In about your Mac is cosmetic only. dgobe & iFabio have been working very

hard with special thanks to mozodojo & help from rekurser + other's to have ram automatically detected for our Mobo.

See iFabio post 1062 for first trial of these improvements (i7 940 only).

Yes, I have installed a pkg and also a dsdt, but the pkg, I think, is for DELUX version of p6t, but I have SE. And it is not cosmetic. After Effects can also use only 2 gigs...

AppleVIATTA.kext for more than 2GB Ram support (should work with your SE board). In 'Extra' you should have installed from dgobe's installer something like this, 'bin' 'Extensions' & 'Themes' folder's, com.apple.plist, smbios.plist, Extensionsmkekt, & boot help.txt.

Add your DSDT in here, It should also create Extensions.bak.mkext.

If you don't have these something has gone wrong when you installed dgobe's installer.pkg Make sure it's latest version installed from desktop.

In the Extra/'Extensions' folder you will need to have FakeSMC.kext P6T-SE.kext from iFabio post #4 "ONLY for P6T SE" and AppleVIATTA.kext. Not the ones installer put there by the installer. In System/Library/Extensions you need AppleHDA.kext (from same post). Make sure you clear & rebuild caches.

Hope this clears things up for you.

Thank you! I will start with updating to 10.6.4 And then reinstall dgobe's installer.

It is strange..but BIOS also shows me only 2 gigs, chameleon shows 2 gigs...I have reseted bios but it did not help. And sleep does not work for me.

 

 

I'm not sure...

 

Read the manual of your board... there is a specific position to put the bank(RAM)...

 

Try to unplug and replug...

No luck with pluging unpluging... Think my warranty will help :) Tomorrow I will change this mobo.

Ok. And what about sleep? It is not sleeping, fans are working and it can't wake up.

Try also change the bootloader...

install this...

before delete your smbios.plist (yes we don't need anymore :))

Chameleon 2 RC5 revision (trunk 352)

 

for the sleep... fire up your terminal and digit this...

sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0

 

restart and see at next start if solved

WoW this is Awesome. Thanks Fabio & dgobie for all your input into making this work with our Mobo.

Works spot on here, have i7 & Kingston 2G DDR3 2138MHz Ram recognised correctly ;)

I lost proper shutdown (H/D) but I think that was something in drhurt's version of chameleon.

No worries though will give easyBCD a go later to see if that fix it..

Thank you! It works! And by the way... The problem with memory I solved by cleaning the processor... Very simple :)

It's been a while but I thought pkg v1.15 installed the PS/2 kexts. If not, just double-click the initrd.img on the installation ISO and it will mount the image. You'll see an icon on your Desktop for the volume. Go to that and then to Extra/Extensions(/Volumes/initrd/Extra/Extensions) and you should see 2 kexts with PS2 in the name. Move those to /Extra/Extensions and rebuild your kext cache(or use kexthelper).

 

 

 

 

So Mr Fabio.... :) Looks like we have everything in the boot file so all that is required in smbios.plist is the serial number. How do you think we should handle the speedstep setup?

 

Leave in the DSDT

 

 

 

Use normal DSDT and also SSDT tables

 

How about CPUx vs P00x? I know you mentioned you had issues with CPUx. I'm going to do some testing this weekend.

 

Let's get a consensus and I'll put together a new installer package.

 

I try the two pkg that you tell me but nothing ...

Do you all use usb periphral ?

I don't want to leave my mouse ...

Please help me :-)

ey,

 

the problem is.. i'm still configuring a system, so atm i don't have anything.

 

i'm looking to built something with either a 960 or 970 i7 and 12gig ram to do some heavy image editing.

DSDT here is Mobo & processor specific. If you do use P6T Deluxe V1/V2 or P6T-SE with a 960 or 970 and there

is no DSDT listed in iFabio's post #4 you would have to extract your DSDT post it here with a nice request to iFabio

for him to patch it for you. Otherwise select a model that already has patched DSDT.

Hope this answers your question.

 

EDIT: stil86 What exactly did you try, ie the installer pkg or selecting & installing appropriate kexts & rebuild.
