HD AUDIO Success - Sapphire 5570 - MacMini 2011

[Musicalchairs]

Hi Guys,

I thought I would share my success story.
Check out the parts within RIG #2 of my Signature.

My biggest mistake when purchasing was not acquiring the i3-2105 with HD3000 onboard Graphics. Instead I purchased a i3-2100 as the i3-2105 was not available for purchase within Australia, so I ended up with HD2000 onboard Graphics. Brick Wall!! My Head!!

Next purchase, to help fix my stuff up, was to source a Sapphire ATI 5570 1GB Video Card for an attempt at discrete graphics.

With the help of forum member 'toleda' and his useful threads I succeeded by doing the following.

#######################
I performed a clean install of 10.7.2 from a USB prepared by UniBeast.

Placed the following files on my desktop..

These from customac_mini_tuneup_kit_v4
http://www.tonymacx86.com/download/file.php?id=18972
AppleHDA.kext
AppleRTC.kext

These from customac_mini_sapphire_hd_5570_hdmi_audio
http://www.tonymacx86.com/download/file.php?id=16574
ATI5000Controller.kext
dsdt.aml

Ran KextBeast (which installed the above kexts)
http://www.tonymacx86.com/10011001010110100001/KextBeast.zip

Ran MultiBeast 4.2.0 with UserDSDT selected (which installs the above dsdt.aml)

Also Selected the following

System Utilities - Repair Permissions

Drivers & Bootloaders - Network - Lnx2Mac's RealtekRTL81xx

Customization - Boot Options - 64-bit Apple Boot Screen & Use KernelCache

System Definitions - Mac mini

Added the following to org.chameleon.Boot.plist

<key>AtiConfig</key>
<string>Eulemur</string>

Ran MultiBeast again and selected

System Utilities - Repair Permissions

End Result after Restart - See Attached Image

All I am missing now is USB3 - Not phased as I do not have any USB3 devices at this point. I could install this with MultiBeast at a later stage if required.

Thank you Forum Community

Hello fello Aussie, good to hear you got it all running man... sucks that i32105 is scarce but I sourced one from PCCG. HD3000 is flakey and I do have a Powercolor 5570 as spare but havent had the need to swap it yet.

Congrats on the build

Hi mate, I have a very similar story to yours and your notes have been very helpful, however how have you got this machine to wake from sleep using 5570. All attempts to do so for me have led to a black screen when waking up....

I do not have that issue..
Is your hardware the same as mine ?

If it is all I can suggest is run through what I have done above.

I have completed a clean install from UniBeast Lion 10.7.2 USB 3 times so far.
Get faster at it every time.

Let me know how you go
