GA-Z77-UD5H upgrade to Mavericks Build list + issues [Solved]

[jojoxman]

Help me with the audio?
I can not get it to work ..

After my install back in the M Lion, and now the Mavericks, when I reboot, the sound card is always 'greyed out' on the top menu bar.

Since you didn't provide much info about your system and current setup, I am assuming that your hackintosh is up and running with no sound. And shows 'grey' like the above.

What I did is to run multibeast and select Without DSDT ALC898, which will also select the HDAEnabler automatically. So your configuration should look like the following:

Drivers > Audio > Realtek ALCxxx > Without DSDT > ALC898
Drivers > Audio > Realtek ALCxxx > Without DSDT > HDAEnabler

Hope it works for you.

And do go to System Preference and make sure sound output you select "Internal Speakers" like jnkstuff mentioned below.

I use the green jack at the back of the motherboard for stereo output.

if the drives on the Intel ports are data drives and not OS drives then just switch the data drives to the Marvel ports and put the OS on an Intel port. If you need more SATA ports get a 2 port or 4port PCIe card for $25.00 and switch the data drives or the optical drives over to that.

The mobo has ONE Marvell port (grey) that is supposedly faster than the 4 black Intel ports (I think). I think the second Marvell port may be the little internal SATA slot. I moved the SSD to a black Intel port which says it supports 6 Gigabit in System Profile, but negotiated at 3. I moved the optical drive to Marvell. The Samsung 840 Pro SSD shows slower performance in BlackMagic than my 2 striped RAID spinners (also in the Intel). The SSD connected to Marvell under Lion showed 4 times the write speed I get under Mavericks. I also note that System Profile says that Intel supports AHCI 1.30 and Marvell supports AHCI 1.00.

Somehow my negotiated speed for Intel is at 6 Gigabits

But looking at the Marvell spec, my gosh, Link speed can go up to 5GT/s ? I don't have any device that will come close to that so...........

Not sure what I did different then you on the SSD - Intel connection though.

 

[mntbighker]

Damn, ok, then it seems I need to identify why my Samsung 840 Pro drive is getting 3 and not 6.

Possible reasons??

Drive firmware? -- Now updated, and didn't make any difference

BIOS version? (I have the thunderbolt version of the mobo) -- Mobo BIOS version is current at F11 but not the newer "beta"

BIOS settings? -- Can't find obvious BIOS setting that would affect things.

SATA driver / kernel extension?

Ideas?

I will try and collect some data. Thanks for the input. I have renewed hope I can regain prior performance.

I have tried everything I can think of and the Intel port still negotiates at 3 instead of 6.

update: I installed SATA III certified cables and moved the SSD back to the Marvell port, and I now have my expected performance back. Looks like the issue was the cable. I wonder what is different about a SATA III cable?

Possible reasons??

Drive firmware? -- SSD firmware is not current but so far I don't have the tools to update (Mac firmware needs a real Mac to boot the CD)

BIOS version? (I have the thunderbolt version of the mobo) -- Mobo BIOS version is current

BIOS settings? -- Can't find obvious BIOS setting that would affect things.

SATA driver / kernel extension?

Ideas?

I tried updating the BIOS to 15, it is still beta stage but that didn't change the fact I am getting linkspeed of 6 though.

Driver/kernel I don't think that is the problem, worked in M Lion and now Mavericks.

I am running everything on AHCI, no RAID setup.

Sorry, I am also clueless here.

I've installed both HDAEnabler ALC898 but that it is as if I do not installasse.
You have the rev 1.0 or 1.1?
See if you can let me run you can also pay because I use it for work, and I urgently.
Look for me in pm

My network seems to "F"-up after uploading whole night, no error or anything show up.. have to investigate more..

How do i debug network the best way?
Ive got connection to my router i think...

Im useing Atheros cause my intel gives me kernel errors..


worked fine in 10.8..

What firmware version does System Profile say your SSD is?
