USB Start-up Problem (aka the Audio problem)

[phooka]

I experienced this exact problem only after I installed a NVidia GT 210 in my new 10.8.5 system (I need it for VGA-out) and used HDAEnabler1.kext.

Motherboard: Gigabyte H87-D3H

Codec: ALC892

list of non-native kexts installed:

- AppleHDA patched with Multibeast 5.5.2

Enabling the chip via SSDT works fine, thx!

Off topic, removed.

No remove the flag; leave Kernel Flag empty.

If you are inclined, restore your system back to the USB start-up problem. Test if the presence of darkwake produces the problem.

Multibeast installs the "darwake=0" when you select the NO DSDT option, so that is why I had it installed. Deleted it with no change or problems associated. However once I installed the incremental update (10.8.5 1.0) I had to implement the workaround again...as expected( the USB start-up problem reappeared after using Multibeast to install the sound kext). That kernel flag has no apparent effects on my system installed or not installed/

Helpful. Thanks.

Hi Toleda,

I have the same problem of "long boot, delayed working keyboard and mouse".
I use a Geforce 210 graphic card.


I tried to use your work around (audio sddt-hdae-1.zip or ssdt-hdae-2.zip) : same result --> a fast boot but...no audio anymore. So I came back to HDAEnabler-1 which works with a long boot.

4. S/L/E/HDAENABLER1.kext (my audio works!), and I used Multibeast "No DSDT" installation.

I would like to understand what is the problem with this damned 210 graphic card...

Thank you Toleda for your work !
Regards,

Just made a clean install with great success. I've got audio without the start-up problem, using ssdt-hdae-2 in Extra folder and deleted HDAenabler1.kext...

...Thanks!

My USB 2.0 is very slow when transfering large files to my USB flash drive. Its about 30 mb per 5 seconds but no problems when I reverse the transfer from USB flash drive to internal HD. I also have a Geforce 210 1024mb graphics card and I am experiencing graphics lag when watching flash related videos online. Don't know if its off topic but I thought it might needed mentioning due to this problem being USB related and a lot of others having a Geforce 210 card...Thanks!

All off topic.

Hi,

I am not sure if this helps you narrow down a root cause. After the 10.8.5 supplemental update I updated nvidia web drivers along with a cuda update. After a reboot I immediately experience the symptoms you describe above along side non mounting firewire drives.

In my case rolling back cuda and removing nvidia web driver restored my audio and fixed the usb and firewire issues.

Motherboard - GA-Z68XP-UD3 LGA

Audio - Realtek ALC889 codec
