[SOLVED] Losing my mind, out of options?

[kminardo]

I have one of these pesky ALC888 chipsets in my board (A Gigabyte GA-P55-UD3L) and I cannot seem to get it working. Everything else is going 100%!

I tried everything in multibeast, Bansaku's ktext, a few others I found using google, and it seems nothing will work!

I'm new to the hackintosh scene and os x, so perhaps I am missing something simple (I think I did the "reset permissions" steps correctly, with ktext helper.. ) but i'm pretty well versed in linux and OS tweaking please, tell me what I am overlooking!

Thanks a bunch - Ken

What hardware revision of the board do you have? Rev 2.3 has the 892 and not the 888 codec.

Whoops, I meant to specify that in the original post, it says Rev 1.0 on the board.

I want to add that it's not detecting any hardware at all. "No output available".

In order for audio to work you need to have the proper DSDT, and the proper LegacyHDA for your board- In your case 888, if indeed your board is 1.0. Is this your board? There only seems to be 2.0 and 2.3 listed on the Gigabyte Website.

Delete your current Extra folder.

Make sure you're on 10.6.4- get the DSDT again, then run MultiBeast. Check UserDSDT, and also the Legacy888HDA.kext plus System Utilities. Then reboot.

My board is on a different product page for some stupid reason.

I noticed there was a BIOS update on 6/28 for the board, bringing it to F7. I'm currently at F6 which matches the DSDT Database. Should I upgrade to F7 or would that break compatibility?

Audio was 100% while mutlibeast was running!! But then I rebooted and now my 5770 just spins up full speed with no video out

Something tells me deleting that extras folder was a baaad idea. Any way to run multibeast from an boot disk.. Or something?

EDIT: got it booted, running multi beast as I type. Here's hoping.

Re: Losing my mind, out of options?

Alright, booted using iboot, re-ran the driver installation for the 5770 series, and everything is 100%!

Awesome work tony and macman. You'll have some beer money coming your way from me on friday
