10.8.4 Update available. What does/doesn't work?

[BigDonkey]

Yes, but what codec is replaced by 111D76D9?? Same as 4x30s? (11d41984)

Pretty much, 111D76D1 can be safely used as an example.

OK, here is the one for 4x40s, assuming it was replacing same codec as 4x30s:

Note: this kext is only for 4x40s (please test... I don't have the hardware):

Just FYI, your patched kext for 4x30s works just fine on my end. I did hope it would fix the mic line in though, but it didn't. Still, I can live with that.

Edit:

And, from my understanding, the mic in does work if you provide a stereo input.

That's exactly the case here.

That would probably be something in the XML files, and we are just using the previous ones.

I installed the combo update and again like it was for the 10.8.2 update i got an error message at the end. The update is installed (under the system info i have 10.8.4 version) and i had to replace the old kexts in order to get things working again. What could be the issue?

RehabMan i installed your AppleHDA kext and its working fine!

On a side note, since the 10.8.4 update coreaudiod seems to be spamming quite heavily in the log with:

05.06.2013 22:05:05,775 coreaudiod[155]: Disabled automatic stack shots because audio IO is active
05.06.2013 22:05:26,696 coreaudiod[155]: Enabled automatic stack shots because audio IO is inactive

does anyone else also experience it?

Since you're getting errors during system updates, you probably have something damaged:

- I would check the install.log for errors. See if they give you a clue.
- Rebuild cache and watch system.log in Console while it happens (make sure kextcache is not throwing errors)

Short of figuring out what the problem is and fixing it, I'd recommend a fresh install. It is not normal to have errors during/after system updates. My main ML install has been updated all the way from 10.8.0 (first created when 10.8 first came out). My system has gone through a lot of updates and testing various kexts (because I'm building/developing them), and it still updates without errors.

It's complaining about the bt kext but my bt was/is working fine. Also i noticed my wifi is slower too. Now my max wifi speed is around 5 mbit with my 25 mbit connection using 150 mbit wifi link.

Here's all you need for 4540s audio. Just need to be applied.

You probably did a rollback or installed patched BT kext (unnecessarily) at some point. Like I said, your situation is not normal... do a fresh install...

Also i noticed my wifi is slower too. Now my max wifi speed is around 5 mbit with my 25 mbit connection using 150 mbit wifi link.

What WiFi do you have on 4530s that is 150mbit/sec? I have 9285 and it is only 75mbit on OS X (see WiFi links in FAQ). I see 65mbit/sec reported in Network Utility. Average throughput (file copy w/ finder from SMB server) is 36mbit/sec (really 45mbit/sec as we should adjust for two bits overhead for 4.5*10 instead of 4.5*8, but...). I have a somewhat ideal setup for WiFi as my laptop happens to live in the same room as my WAP. This is typical of WiFi -- where speeds are massively overstated compared with reality.
