Help With Audio On Mountain Lion Install Gigabyte B75M-D3P, Intel G530, nVidia GT640
Hey all,
I've been doing quite well with the guides that I've found here and I want to thank everyone who has participated here for making this such an easy update (as compared to my last SL Hack). And here comes the but... But I just need a little help getting the last few things in place to get my HTPC Hackintosh to go! First off, I'll expound a bit on my specs:
CPU - Intel G530 @2.4GHz
Mobo - Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3P
RAM - 8GB (2x4GB G.Skill 10666)
GPU - XFX Double D GT640
HDD - Samsung Spinpoint F3 500GB
Case - Silverstone Milo ML03B
PSU - Silverstone Strider 400W 80+ (a bit overkill, I know, I know)
And now I'll detail, as best I can remember, what I've done so far. I purchased ML on my MBP and created the USB using the ML Unibeast app. I was able to install ML successfully on my second attempt (the first time it seemed to hang on something, but trying again fixed whatever the issue was). I can boot into the desktop using the Unibeast USB with full QE/CI, audio, ethernet, etc. But after running Multibeast and installing the Realtek Gigabit driver, Realtek ALC887, and Chimera, rebooting the system hangs at the Apple screen with the spinning gear. I assume it's the same version of the drivers I used by Unibeast to get me up and running to the desktop, so I don't understand why I'm not able to boot into Mountain Lion (outside of Safe Mode).
It just seems odd to me that when I boot from the Unibeast USB, I have no issues. I just imagine I'm missing something, but I can't quite figure it out. I've searched a bit, but maybe I'm not looking for the right thing. When I get home I'll boot with the verbose flag and see where everything actually hangs. I believe before it was while loading something for Bluetooth (which I don't have installed), but I read somewhere else (seemed like a site that was sketchy as it was related to pirated versions of ML) that it could be the graphics card. They suggested using PCIRootID=0 and GraphicsEnabler=No and a couple other things, but to no avail. I'm hoping that some of the Brilliant Minds here at tonymacx86 can help to point me in the right direction.
I hope that this can be used by others in the future who are using this same board. Thank you all for reading!
