Strange problems with Asus P8P67 WS Revolution (non-B3) and GeForce GTX 470 1280 MB

[tobse88]

Hey,

it's a mess - i'm very frustrated about this issue and therefore I want finally ask for help

I want to get my Asus P8P67 WS Revolution (non-B3, so one of the first versions with that Intel controller bug) working with my Gigabyte GTX 470 SOC 1280MB (http://www.gigabyte.de/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3569#ov) providing Dual-Monitoring and HDMI Audio.

At, all I get my raw DSDT (booted with Chimera "GraphicsEnabler=Yes PCIRootUID=1 DSDT=NULL"):
View attachment Raw DSDT.zip

I found a patch for my motherboard and got the dsdt nearly correctly compiled.
I have to fix an "Length out of Minimum/Maximum" Range and get it finally working:
View attachment DSDT with basic edits.zip

Next I used the Toleda-Source inside MaciASL to patch the dsdt using the "Desktop-AMD/NVidia-A1" patch:
View attachment DSDT with autoHDMI Edits.zip

Finally, the system boots only using "GraphicsEnabler=Yes" but there is no HDMI Audio as well as Dual-Monitor-Support (one gets no signal).
Additionally with AppleHDA-Kext the Onboard-Audio ALC889 is also not working.

The only solution right now is using the VoodooHDA-Kext.

Please help me

Thank you!

Agree. No IOReg, no idea.

Agree. No IOReg, no idea.

You're so right ... i recognized your troubleshooting guideline inside the mavericks hdmi-audio tutorial quite recently - i'm sorry.

So I hope I can redeem this with a long and short detailed description.
Here are the facts in a shorter way:

Problem: No devices listed in System>Sound>Input and Output after edits. Working boot requires GraphicsEnabler=Yes (or is this the usual way for GTX470?)

1.) Motherboard: Asus P8P67 WS Revolution (Bios Version 1503)
Processor: Intel Core i7-2600 Processor
Graphics: Gigabyte GTX 470 Super Overclock (http://www.gigabyte.de/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3569)
OS: Mavericks Version 10.9.1

2.) Guide used: [Guide]-UEFI-hdmi_audio_dsdt_edits_v2.1 using the MultiBeast 6.1.0 DSDT specific AppleHDA (long description see below)

3.) Compiling DSDT (without any Audio HDMI-specific edits): View attachment CompilingDSDT.zip
Final DSDT (with all patches): View attachment PatchedDSDT.zip

4.) IOReg before: View attachment IOReg_before.ioreg
and after all edits: View attachment IOReg_after.ioreg

---

However, I’ve repeated all the steps and document the changes I’ve made as follows (the long way description):

1.) I booted up using the Chimera-Flags „GraphicsEnabler=YES PCIRootUID=0 DSDT=NULL“, otherwise Mavericks left me waiting for a long, long time showing two deep black screens -.-
The IOReg at this state was:
> View attachment IOReg_before.ioreg

2.) Once booted up, I extracted my DSDT with MaciASL and applied the PJALM Asus patch „Generic Sandy Bridge“ leaving only one error left:
> View attachment DSDTwithOneError.zip

3.) "1658, 6049, Length is larger than Min/Max window". I resolved this error using the advice: „Range Maximum - Range Minimum + 1 = Length“. So I calculated „0xFFDFFFFF - 0x02000000 + 0x1 = 0xFDE00000“ and replaced the value in line 1658 with „0xFDE00000“.
The result was this error-free DSDT:
> View attachment CompilingDSDT.zip

4.) Now I followed your instructions "MaciASL/Patch/toleda_hdmi_uefi/Select Patch" and used the patch „UEFI_clean_compile“ getting the DSDT (free of errors, too):
> View attachment CompilingDSDTwCleanCompile.zip

5.) Afterwards I patched my DSDT with the "Desktop AMD/Nvidia HDMI audio dsdt edits (Audio ID: 1)":
> View attachment PatchedDSDT.zip

6.) Next I’ve used MultiBeast 6.1.0 using the option "UserDSDT" with the latest patched DSDT and the following options:

• Quick Start > UserDSDT - /Users/tobias/Desktop/DSDT.aml

• Drivers > Audio > Realtek ALCxxx > With DSDT > ALC889

• Drivers > Disk > 3rd Party SATA

• Drivers > Disk > TRIM Enabler > 10.9.x TRIM Patch
• 
Drivers > Misc > FakeSMC v5.3.820
• 
Drivers > Misc > USB 3.0 - Universal

• Drivers > Network > Intel - hnak's AppleIntelE1000e v2.4.14

• Drivers > System > AppleRTC Patch for CMOS Reset

• Bootloaders > Chimera v2.2.1

• Customize > Boot Options > Basic Boot Options

• Customize > Boot Options > Generate CPU States

• Customize > Boot Options > Hibernate Mode - Desktop

• Customize > Boot Options > Use KernelCache

• Customize > Boot Options > 1080p Display Mode

• Customize > System Definitions > Mac Pro > Mac Pro 3,1
• Customize > SSDT Options > Sandy Bridge Core i5 / i7 Overclocked
• Customize > Themes > tonymacx86 Black

7.) After installing with MultiBeast I’ve rebooted my machine.
"GraphicsEnabler=Yes" is still necessary.
In System/Sound/Output and Input there are (still) no devices listed.
The IOReg is now as follows:
> View attachment IOReg_after.ioreg


Thank you very much!

Best,

Add dsdt/HDEF, see ML: How to Add or Edit dsdt/HDEF, use Patch/ALCInjection/Add dsdt/HDEF/Audio ID:1. Reply with edited dsdt and IOReg.

 

[tobse88]

Thanks for your advice
Beginning with the compiling DSDT (only Sandy Bridge Patch and manual length correction) I’ve added your „Patch/ALCInjection/Add dsdt/HDEF/Audio ID:1“ patch and rebooted.
Now my DSDT is: View attachment ALCInjectedDSDT.zip
and my IOReg: View attachment ALCInjectedIOReg.ioreg
Seems like AppleHDA is working cause now the Line-Out and Digital etc. are listed in System>Sound.


Additionally I’ve applied the other Patches „UEFI-Clean Compile“ and „Desktop-AMD/NVidia-A1“ and now my DSDT is: View attachment FinalDSDT.zip
and my IOReg is:View attachment FinalIOReg.ioreg
But still except of the Realtek Inputs and Outputs there is no HDMI device listed in System>Sound.
But GraphicsEnabler=Yes is still necessary to boot (in both solutions).


Thank you very much for your help!

 

[toleda]

there is no HDMI device listed in System>Sound.

You have a PCI bridge, makes a big difference.
Add the lines (***) noted below to the "FinalDSDT" - without the ***. Compile, install and reply with edited dsdt and IOReg.

Edit 2/19/14, working dsdt edit for Nvidia NF200 PCIe Bridge.

Hey, thank you again for your advice.But no success with showing hdmi devices in System>Sound with this solution.In the attachment you find my current DSDT and IOReg.Thank you again for your efforts!!!

 

[toleda]

no success with showing hdmi devices in System>Sound with this solution.

You have the Nvidia PCI bridge, works differently than than PLX.

This address is not correct:
Device (PEGP)
{
Name (_ADR, One)

To find the address, choices are:
1. run lspci, search for an OS X version or boot Linux or Windows.
2. trial and error with the address: Use 0x00010000 instead of One, move the 1 to the right and to the left until PEGP shows up in IOReg.

 

[tobse88]

Thank you again Will try booting into a Live-Linux-Distribution and lookup the address.

I've used the address 0x010000000 as from the first line of the nvidia pci bridge listed here:

02:02.0 PCI bridge [0604]: NVIDIA Corporation NF200 PCIe 2.0 switch [10de:05b1] (rev a3)[/I]

And finally the PEGP device is listed inside the IOReg!
But still no HDMI Audio devices listed inside System>Sound>Output ...
