Thanks for the reply man
ended up figuring out the audio myself, just had to look up my audio info on the windows boot
also found out running "cpus=1" told my computer 1 cpu, just took that out and it recognized all 6 cores (12 threads).
Im still having issues with the boot, I still have to enter "npci=0x2000" as an argument. Im assuming there is somewhere else I can put this in other than on my boot screen and itll fix this issue? I'm a techy guy, I'm just learning most of this stuff day by day right now, boot plist? I feel like an idiot for not knowing where i find that.
Another thing i noticed is my processor pops up as "3.5ghz Unknown" or something similar (not at hackintosh now, its at work). I have my processor overclocked to 3.8ghz, is this why this is happening? or something else?
This was my first ever hackintosh attempt, as I said before on a 1tb 5400rpm drive. I ordered an ssd today should be here friday and I will go for try two.
i added the entry in the /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist file. look for
<string>darkwake=0</string>
i changed mine to
<string>npci=0x2000 darkwake=0</string>
i don't have mine OC'd but it does show 3.5GHz unknown. if you do "more info", it should recognize the cpu properly there. this is my first successful hackintosh. i've tried in the past and always got a kernel panic, then i gave up. looks like the tools and guides are getting better and better. and the community larger.
other things i've tried are:
- install ML on raid0. it won't work with this guide. you'll have to use a different method. i found something but i didn't want to go through the hassle. maybe when i get more used to the hackintosh world.
- after a full install of hackintosh, i tried to restore using a time machine backup before i started to mess with the hackintosh. i was able to restore, but it would only recognize 1 core of the cpu no matter what i did. also, my ssd felt like a regular hdd. i reinstalled using multibeast but it didn't help. so i did another full install but this time no restore from time machine. i just copied the files over and did a new time machine back up.
these past 2 days i've been moving in the hackintosh. so far it's been stable. i have some games from steam installed and SC2 that'll i'll get into in a few days. i'm still looking for some videos to transcode and encode. i'm sure it'll run fine.
let me know if i can be more help.
