HDMI Audio Mavericks z87x help please

[rpo83]

Hi all,

i'm a total n00b at this, but all has gone reasonably well.

I purchased the following:

Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD3
i3-4340
Sandisk SSD
8GB Corsair Vengeance 1600MHZ RAM

The basic install went well and i had my OS X desktop up in no time. When it came to multibeast, i didn't have a clue... All the language was over my head. I downloaded a MB file from a member tobitobsts who posted it in a thread somewhere and most things have worked.

The box is primarily going to be an XBMC player for the lounge connected to my Synology NAS. It will be connected to a Surround Sound processor via HDMI and this is where i run into problems. Everything is working except for audio via HDMI.

I have read through the guides and many threads but i simply don't understand how to get the correct drivers into my system. If anyone could provide me a MB file i could simply load it would be very appreciated, so at least i could get the system working whilst i learned the lingo..

I bought the components and built the box on Christmas eve so all the downloads i assume were current versions, MB etc

Cheers

Steve

All you need is here https://github.com/toleda/audio_hdmi_8series

You need to inject your sound with either sstd injection or with a custom dsdt for your board.
IF you are new to this go with ssdt injection.
Good luck and merry Christmas

There is no MultiBeast solution for HDMI audio; dsdt (or ssdt) and kext edits required. See Mavericks: HDMI Audio - AppleHDA [Guide.

Thanks guys,

Toleda, the problem is that i don't know what a kext edit is, in the thread it seems everyone knows the lingo, i don't even know where to start..

Is there a guide somewhere explaining kext edits??

Could you point me to a specific post in the HDMI guide that would help me?

I appreciate your time and sorry for the n00b questions...

Merry Christmas

Steve

Of the five guides listed, which guide are you using?
You answer is in the pdf for that guide.
