Yes, you should remove those kexts again.

hi i have a question,

okay so Thomas, you said that you should delete the kexts that have the word ‘Thermal’ in it. well i deleted the AppleIntelCPUpowemanagement kext.

I recently updated iatkos v7 to 10.5.8. So now my question is should i delete these kexts:

AppleCPUThermo.kext
AppleThermal.kext

thanks

The -f flag is actually something you type when you are in Chameleon before booting. Instead of that step, just run “Tag Cache Rebuild” in kext helper. So the order everything should be in is: Install Kext->Run Tag Cache Rebuild->Repair Permissions->Reboot.

not sure what -f flag means, sorry. I am really new to terminal work and this type thing in general, way over my paygrade!

The VoodooHDA.kext should work for you. Install it with Kext Helper, Repair Permissions in Disk Utility, and then boot with the -f flag. Audio should then work for you. If you don't get any output after installing, double check in System Preferences-->Audio that "Speakers" is selected as opposed to "Digital Out."

No, sorry. Not sure what codec. I am a real noob on this stuff. It is the GA-EP43-DS3L and I followed some advice on the insanelymac site to no avail. I am only looking for a real cheap audio reference. I am editing video in Final Cut and then dropping into Pro Tools on a real G5 for final edits and such. I may just pick up some cheap USB audio device to get me some sound for reference points. I tried the voodoo as well but when I use the OSx86 Tools to install kext and navigate to it, everything I try/need to load is greyed out. Did I do something wrong?

Try giving the VoodooHDA.kext a shot although there is a chance it will not work for you. Try it out and let me know how it goes. Also, do you know which Audio Codec your motherboard uses?

Thanks Thomas. I appreciate the help. It is a Hack. I installed the 10.6 and most everything is good except the audio. In the Sys Prefs/Audio, there are no devices listed at all, nothing to select. I have 2 drives in this machine- the original Hack is a 10.5.6 and the new Hack is the 10.6. The original works fine, everything is there but the new drive/10.6 has no audio. Any suggestions beyond the stuf already here? I’ll be happy to donate to the cause. Thanks in advance.

This isn’t completely Inspiron 1525 specific, but most of the drivers released are for that laptop. The guides are generally for any hackintosh though. For specific drivers issues, you can always check the insanelymac.com forums.

Is this a Dell Inspirion-only site? I have a custom Hack and had some audio questions but won’t waste your time if this is dell-specific. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I tried it with the plugged power cable and without and its the same result. No difference. Any other ideas?

Are you trying to sleep when running on battery power or when plugged in to an outlet?

Thanks for the quick reply. I tried what you suggested. The SleepEnabler.kext is installed and I rebooted with the f-flag but unfortunately the result is still the same. Nothing happens when I press Sleep and after a while the screen freezes. Is there anything else I could try?

By: Thomas

Thomas — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 19:52:59 +0000

You might want to try kext helpering SleepEnabler.kext found here. Then reboot with the -f flag and see if you are now able to sleep.

Hi Thomas,

maybe you can help me too. I have a Dell Inspiron 1545 and installed iAtkos v7 on it. Everything works fine except Sleep and I can’t watch movies. I know that my graphic card is not supported. Unfortunately I saw that to late. Do you know if there is anything I could do about this?
The more important thing is Sleep. It never worked for me. When I press the “Sleep” Button, nothing happens. Can you maybe help me with that??

Thanks in advance!!
