I have a few things that I cannot get working. Can anyone assist?
1) HDMI Audio. I cannot get it to work. Audio continues to come out of my laptop speakers and there is no setting to change. I usually hook my machine up to the TV and watch TV. In Win 7, audio/video was passed through to the TV and an optical cable was plugged in from the TV to my speakers. I guess the functionality isn't there?
2) USB 3.0 stops working after a couple of reboots. I used genericusb.kext (of which I had to install the manual method, no other tool would work) and USB 3 seemed to be working. Since then it has stopped working, and the machine continues to freeze. When this happens, should I just attempt manual install again?
3) Bluetooth? Does it function?
4) Dual Boot - Seeing as I followed the above post to get my machine up and working (along with the change to Dell wireless card) how would I go about now dual booting with Windows 7? I understand I can shrink my drive, however is there a guide that coincides with the above post?
5) Cleartype - The video on my TV doesn't look nearly as good as with Windows 7. (through HDMI) I guess this is the best I can expect.

Hi everyone! Thanks so much to everyone who contributes to get all of our machines up and running!
I recently got my E6430 machine up and running with this post here: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/2327-dell-latitude-e6430/. My specs are exactly the same except I have a newer bios.
