Spookynick - How did you get this to work? I am lost on how to use this guide. Thanks for the help.
As far as i know any of these instructions are only learned through my experience with a GA-Z77X-UP5-TH Motherboard which uses a NATIVE DSDT, all of my hardware is working OOB.
Using Multibeast i followed the settings in the post by DBP
http://www.tonymacx86.com/user-buil...7-3770k-ga-z77x-up5-th-photography-beast.html
Sorry I'm not at my build right now, but i can try to remember the proper steps and names of programs...
Also i am still n00b, because this mac is for my wife, i am a windows user
if you don't have a DSDT.aml in /Extra, then you need to make one, and you do this by extracting the DSDT that your system is using right now
(all mac systems use a DSDT, it just isn't in /Extra).
Follow the steps here
http://www.tonymacx86.com/dsdt/31716-guide-creating-your-own-dsdt-most-boards.html
(basically sign up on the website and download the dsdt editor, and ignore everything at this point about a PATCH for your motherboard. you don't need it right now)
Open, extract, compile
(i believe i have 2 ERRORS, i clicked FIX and then had 1 error. To fix the error i had to change the string of HEX text from ABCDEFGH to ABCDEFAB - Because G and H are not HEX... easy fix),
EDIT Per toleda:
Regarding your dsdt, "2. Changing ABCDEFGH to ABCDEFAB - this was key!" is wrong. Replace ABCDEFAB with PNP0C15. ami_clean_compile.txt fixes that error however, the patch can only be used once in a dsdt.
and then click compile again, save that compiled output to /Desktop/DSDT.aml
Now you have a dsdt on your desktop.
Download the attachment from the OP (
HD4000-3_7_series_hdmi_audio_dsdt_editing_kit.zip), then extract and save on your desktop.
I'malso going to assume you have IORegistryExplorer and MaciASL...
Download and save your IOReg
(i had a problem with v3 (from Apple) only saving corrupt files, it tripped me up a bit, so i had to get the file that was attached from the OP of that thread.... not the one from apple.... wasted about awhile trying to figure out what the heck was going on with that...)
This is the link to the working IOReg program
(

ok...
Its still early and i only have 1 coffee in me so this post might not be laid out in the best way
So now you have you DSDT, you have your IOReg, and you have the HDMI Editing kit all extracted on your desktop
(or wherever you like to extract such things)
So, now you load up MaciASL and follow the steps from the OP from
II. dsdt edits - clean up
Load up ami_clean_compile.txt
(from the HDMI kit) and compile it...
now, load your DSDT.aml from your /Desktop... then click on patch... then click on open...
select and open hdmi_audio_ami_efi_hd4000-3.txt... then click apply... then click close... then click compile. Hopefully now you have no errors.
Now go to Save as, and save the compiled and patched DSDT.aml
(remember to give it this file extension when you save it) to your /Desktop for safe keeping.
Now go to Save as, and save it to /Extra/DSDT.aml...
Now DSDT is installed, but you need to remove
(i copied it to my desktop for backup and then deleted the one in /System/Library/Extensions)
the audio kext files, the only one i had was HDAEnabler1.kext
(or something close to that),
i had AppleHDA.kext but was unclear if i had to delete that, so i didn't, i just left it.
So now you have your DSDT installed and you have your audio kexts removed...
Now all you should have to do is fix your permissions and cache using something like
Google: kext wizard
(i think you get a kernel panic on reboot if you don't fix your permissions and cache)
Reboot
OK, now it should work.
I thought it hadn't worked because i didn't hear that (now) patented mac start up sound, but i went to play a movie through VLC (just to make sure it didn't work) and low and behold, at 1:00 in the morning my TV blared to life and i left a little stain on my underwear...
I will hit up my build later and i will upload and attach my DSDT.aml and my IOReg maybe that will help
This is only for the GA-Z77X-UP5-TH Motherboard with all OOB working hardware
Hopefully this all makes sense to you, sorry for the long post
Also sorry if it doesn't work
I make no guarantees
Use at your own risk
no refunds
