Yes. The device-properties have strings related to HDA need removed if DSDT method is used.

Which com.apple.Boot.plist did you mod? Normally, there are two of them, one is at default location of OSX, the other is what normally used for hacktintosh, but the location varies depend on installation method.

Just changed my com.apple.Boot.plist, no change either.

I did a system search for the file and it came up with the file being located under Extra. I used the dellefi install method to setup my dell.

Also, I used the HDAenabler method, i didn't edit or recompile the DSDT

Probably the one in the default OS X location. Didn't realize there was more than one. I'll go poking around in a bit. I have a few things I need to finish before I do it though..

Just tried com.apple.Boot.plist mod, and no difference. Yes, this is with both internal and headphones. But if it was a key mapping issue, why would it still happen in the sound prefpane? To be specific, when I hit the mute key, the volume indicator flashes up as being muted but nothing happens. And to anyone who wants to know, here's how I edited the DSDT:

1. I used the DSDT patcher inside DellEFI1.2a5. In the package contents of DellEFI1.2a5.app, navigate to Contents/Resources/DSDTPatcher. You might as well do this in a terminal because these are all command line utilities.

2. Execute "./DSDTPatcher". This should grab the current dsdt.aml (compiled) and dsdt.dsl (decompiled) and place them in the current directory. I like to run "ls -l" after this and write down the size of the dsdt.aml and dsdt.dsl. The new files will have more lines of code and therefore greater size.

3. Copy the dsdt.dsl file to another directory to work in. I used the desktop. Now double click it and choose to open with TextEdit. Find the line specified in lnxeo's first post and change it as he says to. Now edit what he told be to in post 63. You're replacing, not adding, which tripped me up at first. Once done with the edits save it. You'll probably get a permissions error, so Save As to a different file, e.g. dsdt10v.dsl. In the terminal just type, in my case, "sudo mv dsdt10v.dsl dsdt.dsl" and it will replace the old file.

4. Back in the DSDTPatcher folder of DellEFI, head to the Tools directory. iasl is what can compile the dsdt back to an .aml. Execute the command "sudo ./iasl -sa path/to/dsdt" so for me it's "sudo ./iasl -sa ~/Desktop/dsdt.dsl. If your edits went right, it should compile with no complaints. If it doesn't work, check the .dsl for and code errors. If you use a different text editor like Smultron you can see determine the offending line, as iasl tells you what line the error occured on.

5. Finally, run "ls -l" on the newly created dsdt.aml and as long as you properly created it, it will be bigger than the old one. Move it to the /Extra folder by typing "sudo mv dsdt.aml /Extra/". Reboot, and the new dsdt is active.

I have been stalking this thread since it was started and have been very interested

The thought of a completely Vanilla install is awesome... and the progress with the audio is very very impressive. Once things get straightened out would it be possible to make a more "clear-cut" procedure/guide on how to get this working?

I am sure bmaltais and meklort will be reading this and will work on implementing the updates into NetBook Installer soon enough


Thanks everyone for all of the hard work! Greatly appreciated

I am trying to figure out the mute problem people experiencing. For the users who already successfully got audio work, would you please vote on my poll question, please choose one from option 1-4, and one from option 5-7. Thanks!

Hey All,

I was able to get full audio to work (sans mute button on headphones) after a couple of different tries. Here is what I've found... I hope it helps.

First Try: Had an installation of OS X with NetbookInstaller and ACL272 audio fix installed. Tried the various methods listed in this thread (deleted AppleHDA, installed 4 attachements w/ KextHelper, recompiled just DSDT file, recompiled DSDT w/ reinstall of extenstion). OS X ended up not detecting any audio device at all. I tried some other fixes for that (as posted in this thread... delete/reinstall vanilla AppleHDA, recompile DSDT, etc.) but nothing worked. [FAIL]

Second Try: Thought it had something to do with having the ACL272 fix installed, so I reinstalled OS X using NetbookInstaller, and tried installing the4 attachements w/ Kext Helper. This got my sound to work, but the jacks and internal mic did not work... no improvement from the ACL272 fix. [FAIL]

Last Try: I saw that anguish and some others had no problem on a 10v w/ OS X installed using EFI11 so I reinstalled OS X once again using a CD/DVD drive, the Dell Mini Boot Disc, and OS X 10.5 retail disc. I installed 10.5.7 combo, ran EFI11, etc. following mechdrew's DellEFI method 3 and when that was done, I used KextHelper to install the 4 attached files... and everything worked!! Internal speakers, internal mic, headphone jack, and mic jack all worked. Even the volume buttons (sans mute w/ headphones). However, I don't really see myself ever needing to mute if i'm on headphones. [SUCCESS]

I tested w/ Skype and it all works like a charm. After running the bluetooth fix and installing the touchpad kext... I have what I feel is a 100% complete, working hackintosh.

I hope this helps anyone who had the same problems I did.

MY SPECS FOR REFERENCE:
Dell Mini 10v | Mac OS X 10.5.7 | 2GB RAM | 160GB HD | BIOS A03 | Blue Tooth | 802.11n

Voted in the poll, lnxneo.

Voted in 1-4, but forgot to pick one from 5-7. I should be put under DellEFI Method....
