I have a (almost) fully functional system using the following configuration:

- Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H (note the Z77 and D3H, no X, M or DS3H)
- i5 3570k (this will also work with the 3770k or any other IB chip with the HD4000)
- using HD4000 graphics but DSDT has been modified to also work with some other dedicated cards (not supported in this thread, please seek help in relevant section)
- Lite-on IHAS DVD-RW drive
- Some 8GB DDR3 1600 ram (any should work really)

As mentioned above, the system is almost 100% working including the following:
- Boot, sleep, shutdown, hibernate and wake from all states
- Dual monitor support through HDMI, DVI and VGA
- All 8 USB ports in 2.0 mode
- HDMI audio using the HD4000 (DSDT was modified to also work with some other dedicated cards - not supported in this thread, please seek help in relevant section)
- Onboard audio (SPDIF, green, red and blue)
- Onboard LAN

The only things which do not work are:
- The 4 USB 3.0 ports will only work in USB 2.0 mode
- For the onboard audio only SPDIF, green, red and blue work. For surround sound use HDMI audio or SPDIF. There are no issues AT ALL with the working connectors
- PS/2 port does not work (try PS/2 patch in multibeast, have not tested)


Requirements:
- I recommend running the F14 bios. The DSDT will not work under F18 and the USB ports have problems. F14 bios is not available from the gigabyte website anymore but it is attached in the package
- The DSDT and kexts have been designed for 10.8.2 and will NOT WORK under any other version. Please upgrade your system to 10.8.2 before seeking help in this thread. If you installed the FAKESMC please remember to perform the ACPI rollback after doing the upgrade, otherwise the system will run into kernel panics. I cannot help you if you are running 10.8.1 or 10.8.0.

Installation
- Install using your favorite method, no modification or flags are required for the initial boot
- Confirm that your system boots by itself using the Chameleon bootloader before installing any tools/kexts and seeking help in this thread

If using multibeast select the following options in multibeast:
- Maolj's Atheros Ethernet
- Chameleon Bootloader

That's it, nothing else is required. DO NOT INSTALL ANY OTHER KEXTS OR EVEN THE DSDT AT THIS POINT. First make sure your system boots and upgrade to 10.8.2. Once you can confirm that it is booting fine and you have updated install the rest. Confirm the contents of your boot.plist. As a reference I have used the following settings. Change your resolution if necessary.

<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>GenerateCStates</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>GeneratePStates</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>1920x1080x32</string>
<key>GraphicsEnabler</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>Kernel</key>
<string>mach_kernel</string>
<key>Legacy Logo</key>
<string>Yes</string>
<key>Theme</key>
<string>Choose_Your_OS</string>
<key>Timeout</key>
<string>2</string>
<key>UseKernelCache</key>
<string>Yes</string>

Once you are booting up fine, have verified your boot.plist and are running 10.8.2 you can start installing the DSDT and the kexts.
1. If you have installed FAKESMC perform the ACPI rollback, otherwise skip this step (new multibeast 5.1.1 FAKESMC may fix this, not yet confirmed)
2. Restart
3. Place the DSDT.aml into your /extra/ folder
4. Restart, nothing else required to install a DSDT
5. Install the patched APPLEHDA.kext using kext utility
6. Install the PXHCD.kext for USB, make sure you have all USB ports set to 2.0 mode by selecting "smart auto" and "disable" for all ports in the bios
7. restart, you are done

Help me develop this further:

DSDT: http://www.tonymacx86.com/dsdt/67101-ga-z77-d3h-dsdt-10-8-a.html#post421312

Again, this guide is only for the GA-Z77-D3H. It will NOT work for a different version of the board. I will not provide support for different versions of the motherboard or for systems running different versions of OSX

For previous installs remove APPLEHDA.kext and VIA2021.kext, run kext utility, restart and install the new DSDT and applehda.kext.

A big thanks to Nithy (http://www.osx86.net/downloads.php?do=file&id=3041) who made all of this possible!

I have a a similar machine and I really would like to get my audio working. I have also a GA-Z77-D3H rev 1.0, i7-3770 and use the onboard graphics. And I also want to get my audio working, which isnt working yet. I tried different stuff but without success yet.

I would like to try your modded drivers and dsdt file, but your posted attached file is somehow messed up with all files in one folder. Can you please pack and post it again, including the dsdt in source?

can i use your dsdt if i am using onboard graphics via hdmi and dvi?
 
I followed your guide step by step here www.tonymacx86.com/audio/67102-part...nd-mt-10-8-project-via-2021-a.html#post421314 and then did what you mentioned in this thread, and I still don't have audio. Any ideas? Just a little background, I have a z77-ds3h, audio was working great in ML until I updated to 10.8.2. lost audio, now am wondering what to do next. Thanks for any help, and I'll quickly give more info to help anyone gain greater clarity into my situation

Yes you can.

Please read the instructions, the very first point in fact.

I have a (almost) fully functional system using the following configuration:

- Gigabyte GA-Z77-D3H (note the Z77 and D3H, no X, M or DS3H)

You have a different motherboard
 
Thanks for the update of the package. Unfortunately I could'nt make sound work with that, dunno why. Perhaps its a thing with the Mainboard revision. Mine is the not so current rev V1.0. Instead of fixing/modifying dsdt etc I bought an USB external audio for five bucks and that worked right out of the box. :D

Cheers, M.

DSDT and kexts are for rev 1.0
 
Hello Tim,

I have used your solution but have this problem: my system sees no devices even though the card seems to be detected.
Zrzut ekranu 2012-09-29 o 05.37.55.png(I have included what the logs say about HDA, don't know if its relevant)

- I have board rev 1.0, flashed to F14 from your package
- I'm using your dsdt
- OSX ver 10.8.2, all kexts from your package
- I have tried rebooting many times, rebuilding cache, repairing permissions, booting with "ignore caches"
- I have tried enabling/disabling build in graphics (that only makes the HDMI device appear/disappear)

Can you figure out what am I missing?

That's strange. Have a look here and follow the steps up to #4, basically repatch the APPLDEHDA.kext. No need to redo the DSDT. Quick process for patching HDA, run 2 terminal commands, add the files and install. That's it. I have attached a clean APPLEHDA to start with

Good luck
