M - HDMI Audio

Toleda, thank you so much for your guides, you are the man. I have one question with Mavericks. Is it solved the problem with HDMI audio and sleep with 10.8.5 and supplemental with HD4600? (Sorry for my bad English).
 
M - HDMI Audio

Am I correct in reading that if you had, say, a Nvidia GT640 with HDMI out, that you wouldn't need to do anything special under 10.9 to get audio out over that HDMI working?

I have a H61n-USB3 with a HD3000 cpu, and have used everything form edited kexts to edited DSDT's, to now simplified DSDT+SSDT method to get HDMI audio. My problem is that I'm still plagued by graphics glitches, tearing, and occasional hangs that will require a reboot (login via SSH and issue halt or reboot) to get working again.

I'm now considering getting some cheap, low profile, quite graphics card for this server/hulu watching machine.

No. The "special" dsdt or ssdt HDMI audio enabling requirement is the same in 10.9 as it was in 10.8. HD3000 graphics problems are not related in any way to the presence or absence of HDMI audio.

Sorry, I didn't mean to say that HD3000 graphics issues were related to HDMI. Thats what I'm saying though, HD3000 has been too buggy, and doesn't seem to be getting better for me.

I have my HDMI audio working in 10.9 with HD3000 per spec, and everything is as fine as it can be.

Are you saying that the same 'DSDT+SSDT' edit with an GT640 (and disabled internal graphics) will give me audio over HDMI too?

It is dsdt or ssdt, not dsdt + ssdt. All 3 combinations are available with the same dsdt or ssdt.
 
M - HDMI Audio

It is dsdt or ssdt, not dsdt + ssdt. All 3 combinations are available with the same dsdt or ssdt.

I thought SSDT only worked if you edited the DSDT to remove the hdef method already in them. Cause thats what I did!

So just as easy with GT640 or something?

Where did you see a dsdt/HDEF edit was required? Not true and not necessary. If you followed the guide, the GT 640 has HDMI audio. One dsdt patch or ssdt handles everything, if done correctly.
