I have a laptop Asus K45A and touchpad (v4) is not working. And there is no information in the log.

If you are using VoodooPS2Controller then remove them as well like I said above.

Hi Dinesh,

 

It doesn't seem to work for the UX31A similar the UX32VD etc. I think a few of us are using the VoodooPS2 controller. I have attached the kext below. idk how well our systems play with the ApplePS2Controller. I think you already have the DSDT for these models. I have attached the VoodooPS2 and the AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext that some of us are using. Thanks for working on it man!

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/6p1nsrtztnj9mg9/CZpUh_vsTk/AppleACPIPS2Nub.kext

 

Yes, I forgot to tell you all about removing VoodooPS2Controller and AppleACPIPS2Nub as well. So, I request everyone to remove the VoodooPS2Controller as well and try it.

I´ve tested the new beta but the problems continue...

What's the issue plz? Explain it once again.

I can confirm the same behavior in beta 1.8 on V4. It works for 20 seconds or so, then stops working for several seconds. Then this pattern repeats. Is there an earlier v4 beta posted somewhere that worked more or less correctly? Thanks to Dinesh!

Fixed and uploaded again, so check it.

If you ever update this, please note that according to ACPI spec, the HID including PNP device names should be in capitals.  E.g. "PNP0c14" = "PNP0C14"

 

So maybe make it case-insensitive?

Yes, but with the extracted and untouched dsdt we will find this untill we compile it for errors. That's why I meant this. I'll correct this with explanation.

Ok, I'll look into this and upload a new one as soon as possible. May be some two finger features I was working could have ended up on this release to make this unstable. Sorry, for uploading an unstable one. I'll upload a good one soon perhaps with some two finger stuff.

Hello

 

I managed to install Mac osx 10.8 on my friend asus zenbook ux21 with patched kext and DSDT using myhack. however I tried to update it to 10.8.2 after updating it to 10.8.1 and get kernel panic while trying to boot 10.8.2 and I included a picture. Please Help

Its an error from the OemSMBios kext, so remove it and update to new FakeSMC plugins then try.

Im having the same problem with the UX31A fn keys only the volume keys work. I updloaded my DSDT already in the DSDT section. Should I send it to this address instead?

WIthout my driver what keys working and with mine what are working?

This kext does not completely seem to work for the UX31A. I have checked the DSDT and it seems like the _UID=ATK and _HID=PNP0c14 however only the volume keys seem to work. The fn key functions are mapped exactly like what you have above. I have attached the DSDT. I'd donate man! Good work

Send me files to this mail:[email protected] and also tell me what are the keys you have.

Hello,
 

There is an issue with some Realtek Codecs, which is no audio from the output devices after sleep because of an External Amplifier(EAPD) existing in it which powers up/down the codec but EAPD is not enabled by the AppleHDA after sleep. This issue has been fixed by me in patching IOAudioFamily kext. It is based on the information from the netbook installer in code.google.com which was meant for the Old Mac and source code of Apple.

Find the Patched IOAudioFamily in the attachments for the different nodes with EAPD.

Version: 1.8.9fc11 is for Mountain Lion 10.8.3 or later

If anyone want the Lion version then PM me and I'll add those. And I will keep on uploading the patched kexts when there is an updated IOAudioFamily from Apple updates, so keep checking this thread if you want to have updated one.

Note:
There seems to be an issue for some notebooks with Jack sensing after sleep if there is no audio stream active before sleep within 30sec. Solution are:

1. WIth an Application "ControlPlane" which can run functions based on some rules. I have added an StartUp Rule for the Running Application Evidence with sources as Dock to start the Itunes with some Music. So, we will have some audio stream automatically when we start the system and the Jack sensing will work after sleep. Even you could add other rules for controlling brightness and many other in this application.

2. This is for people with Elan touchpad only,  you can enable a fix for this from EAPD Preferences in Elan touchpad kext plist.

3. After Sleep, try to toggle/change the Volume Control within 30 seconds.

For me its working well, so I wanted to share with you all.


Hope this helps some.

UPDATE:

There is a standalone kext fix for this issue which addresses everything at here: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/3084-eapd-fix-in-a-standalone-kext-no-need-ioaudiofamily-patching/

Hi,

This is a short guide for enabling the ports VGA and HDMI(audio) in the Notebooks equipped with Intel HD3000 GPU, but I'm gonna provide details as clearly as possible to apply and understand this patch.

Needed:

• AppleIntelSNBGraphicsFB.kext from SLE
• Hex fiend application to patch the kext: http://ridiculousfish.com/hexfiend/
• Patched DSDT with platform id  (or)  SMBios of MacBookPro8,1

DSDT patch of platform id is:

"AAPL,snb-platform-id", Buffer (0x04) { 0x00, 0x00, 0x01, 0x00 }

Add this to the _DSM method of GFX0/IGPU or other named device found at address 0x00020000.

Here is the entire DSDT patch for HD3000:

         Method (_DSM, 4, Serialized)
             {
                 Store (Package (0x0E)
                        { 
                            "AAPL00,backlight-control", 
                            Buffer (0x04)
                            {
                                 0x01, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00
                            }, 
                            "AAPL00,DualLink", 
                            Buffer (0x04)
                            {
                                 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00
                            }, 
                            "graphic-options", 
                            Buffer (0x04)
                            {
                                 0x04, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00
                            }, 
                            "device-id", 
                            Buffer (0x04)
                            {
                                 0x16, 0x01, 0x00, 0x00
                            }, 
                            "hda-gfx", 
                            Buffer (0x0A)
                            {
                                "onboard-1"
                            }, 
                            "AAPL,snb-platform-id", 
                            Buffer (0x04)
                            {
                                 0x00, 0x00, 0x01, 0x00
                            }
                        }, Local0)
                    DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0))
                    Return (Local0)
                }

DETAILS ABOUT THE CONNECTORS:

Lets have a look at the connectors information table before we try to patch and enable ports.This is the Original Connectors information provided by apple in the above kext for MacBookPro8,1.

0102 0400 1007 0000 1007 0000 // No of Connectors 
0503 0000 0200 0000 3000 0000 // Laptop Display Port 
0205 0000 0004 0000 0700 0000 // 
0304 0000 0004 0000 0900 0000 // All 3 of them are Display Ports 
0406 0000 0004 0000 0900 0000 //

Let me explain the above values line by line...

Line #1:

01 02 04 00 10 07 00 00 10 07 00 00

In the above line, we have information regarding the number of Connectors(Ports) and that number is 4, edit this number according to your number of ports/Connectors exist in your notebook and its optional, but doing so you can have only the ports active and rest removed.

Line #2:

0503 0000 0200 0000 3000 0000

This is Laptop built in screen display value where it gets detected, so we don't need to change anything here.

Line #3 to #5:

0205 0000 0004 0000 0700 0000 //
0304 0000 0004 0000 0900 0000 // All 3 of them are Display Ports DVI
0406 0000 0004 0000 0900 0000 //

The above 3 lines are Display ports (DVI) which can work for both DVI & HDMI, but for HDMI the audio won't work because it needs a patch like below:

0205/0304/0406 00 00 00 08 00 00 06 00 00 00

Basically, the above line applies to all 3 possible HDMI connectors that are 0205, 0304 and 0406.

VGA port:

Apple Mac computers do not have a VGA port, so we won't find the connector info in Apple connectors table. But the Hackintosh community has figured out the VGA code that works [found by RevoGirl (R.I.P) and bcc9 from other non-Intel GPU connectors table].

06 02 00 00 00 01 00 00 XX 00 00 00 //VGA, xx is port number

The VGA port number can be identified through Intel Registry dump (in Linux for instance).

The following lines provide a sample edited connectors table with VGA and HDMI ports (HDMI configured with 0304 connector):

01 02 03 00 10 07 00 00 10 07 00 00 // 3 Connectors (built-in LVDS + HDMI + VGA)
05 03 00 00 02 00 00 00 30 00 00 00 // LVDS 
03 04 00 00 00 08 00 00 06 00 00 00 // HDMI 
06 02 00 00 00 01 00 00 09 00 00 00 // VGA (port number set to 09)
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 // NONE

The above set of lines will basically enable built-in LCD + HDMI + VGA on the laptop. Note the number of connectors set to 3 in the 1st line and the last/4th connector line nulled (all set to 0)

NOTE: For HDMI, you have to try each value 0205/0304/0406 to find out which connector your notebook actually uses.

STEPS FOR PATCHING THE CONNECTORS:

• Get the File "AppleIntelSNBGraphicsFB" from AppleIntelSNBGraphicsFB.kext/Contents/MacOS folder and place it in some place for patching
• Open the above file from the Hex fiend application
• Press Command + F for Find/Replace utility

Enter the following values in "find" field

0102 0400 1007 0000 1007 0000 
0503 0000 0200 0000 3000 0000 
0205 0000 0004 0000 0700 0000 
0304 0000 0004 0000 0900 0000 
0406 0000 0004 0000 0900 0000

and enter the following values in "replace" field

01 02 03 00 10 07 00 00 10 07 00 00 
05 03 00 00 02 00 00 00 30 00 00 00 
03 04 00 00 00 08 00 00 06 00 00 00 
06 02 00 00 00 01 00 00 09 00 00 00 
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

As stated in above note, sometimes your HDMI might be on a connector other than "03 04" which I've used here. In that case, try either of the following values instead of "03 04 00 00 00 08 00 00 06 00 00 00" to get HDMI working.

02 05 00 00 00 08 00 00 06 00 00

(OR)

04 06 00 00 00 08 00 00 06 00 00

and Click on Replace all button

• Now save the file and copy back the file to the Folder AppleIntelSNBGraphicsFB.kext/Contents/MacOS
• Install the patched Kext and reboot & check

For HDMI Audio:
We need DSDT edit and Patched AppleHDA for HDMI audio.

For this, follow my guide for patching AppleHDA from here: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/1946-complete-applehda-patching-guide/

I hope this guide helps for the people trying to get VGA and HDMI with audio.

NOTE:
*External display (VGA mostly) won't get detected automatically if we plug after Mac is booted, so we have to perform manual display detection through the Display Preferences panel and click on Detect Display button.

*From Mountain Lion or later, we don't see Detect Display button in the Display Preferences panel. Hold the ALT or Win key (=Option) at Display Preferences panel to get the Detect Displays button.

Hello everyone,

This is an ACPI driver to control the Fn Keys and ALS sensor found in Asus Notebooks, developed by me based on the ideas from linux asus wmi, hokoffy (insanelymac user) WMI controller source and my own research on ACPI and OS X API. Also I've introduced many new features with customizations along the way and improved several things. Some of the Fn keys require DSDT patches in order to work.
 
The Fn keys which my driver controls are:
Fn +

F3 Does OS X function (Misson control/Dashboard)/Keyboard Backlight Down (If supports)
F4 Does OS X function (Launchpad/Desktop)/ Keyboard Backlight Up (If supports)
F5 Brightness Down
F6 Brightness Up
F7 Screen Backlight On/Off (Soft mode)
F8 Video Mirror
F9 Touchpad (only if you use my Smart Touchpad driver)
F10 Mute
F11 Volume Down
F12 Volume Up
C - Rewind
V - Fast
A - Toggles ALS Sensor on/off (If supports)
Asus Instant Key - Does OS X function (Launchpad) (If supports)
Space - Play/Pause
Left Arrow - Previous
Down Arrow - Play/Pause
Right Arrow - Next
Up Arrow - Toggles Media Functions Fast/Rewind and Prev/Next between C,V & Left, Right Arrows and 
           Toggles OSX Functions for F3, F4
           Toggles Finer and Normal Brightness, Volume control

Supported Functions by F3, F4 and Asus Instant keys are:
Edit the plist  entries "F3KeyAction" and "F4KeyAction" with the below values to assign different functions
 

0 - Default Functions
1 - Launchpad
2 - Misson control
3 - Dashboard
4 - Desktop
5 - Application window 
6 - Eject
 
For Notebooks with compact Keyboard (without Numpad):
 Fn +

C  - Previous
V  - Next
Space - Play/Pause 

 
CONFIG DEFAULT PREFERENCES:
Edit the file "info.plist" file located inside my kext "AsusNBFnKeys.kext/Contents/"
 
Look for the secton "IOKitPersonalities->AsusNBFnKeys->Preferences" to change Fn key controls

• HasMediaFnKeys - Notebook has multi media fn keys Play/Pause, Next, Previous? 
• SoftDisplayBacklightOff -  Enable backlight on/off in soft mode? Useful it native backlight control is not working.
• DimBacklightOnAC/DC -  Enable brightness pop up on AC/DC to notify? Useful for AC/DC status.
• MediaKeysDoFastRewind -  Enable Media keys should do fast/rewind instead next/previous?
• FingerBrighntessControl -  Enable finer brightness control which provides more steps?
• FinerVolumeControl -  Enable finer volume control which provides more steps?
• DimBrightnessByLevels - 0 - 15, Default value is 3.
• KBackLightlvlAtBoot - 0-3 / 0-15
• F3KeyFunction - 0 - 6
• F4KeyFunction - 0 - 6
• InstantKeyFunction - 0 - 6
• IdleKBacklightAutoOff -  Enable idle auto keyboard backlight off?
• IdleKBacklightAutoOffTimeout - Default 10000 ms, idle timeout value.

Look for the secton "IOKitPersonalities->AsusNBFnKeys->Preferences->ConfigForALS" to change ALS sensor controls

• EnableALSLogs - Enable logging to see values it reports?
• DisableOnAC - Disable ALS on AC?
• DisableOnFnControl -  Disable Auto backlight when Fn key used to manually control?
• EnableAtBoot - Enable ALS sensor at boot?
• SamplesToProcess - Number of samples used to control backlight in background.
• TimerInterval - Interval used for checking the ALS in background.
• LevelxBrightness - Brightness level for the level 'x'. There are 5 levels for x = 1 - 5.
• LevelxRangeStart - ALS range start value for the level 'x'.
• LevelxRangeEnd - ALS range end value for the level 'x'.

Note:

For some dsdt files, you need to replace "\_SB.ATKD.IANE (0xXX)" with "Notify (ATKD, 0xXX)".

Use the attached patches in DSDT Editor app to patch your DSDT only if there is something not working.
 
Must Needed patches:
Brightness Fn keys patch:
Modify the method _Q0E and _Q0F in DSDT for the ATKP conditional clause code:

      Method (_Q0E, 0, NotSerialized)  
        {
            If (ATKP)
            {
                \_SB.ATKD.IANE (0x20)
            }
        }
        Method (_Q0F, 0, NotSerialized) 
        {
            If (ATKP)
            {
                \_SB.ATKD.IANE (0x10)
            }
        }

Keyboard backlight patch:

Use the dsdt patch and config to plist from this link manually or attached patch file: https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/5966-details-about-the-elan-touchpad-features/&do=findComment&comment=32299
 
ALS sensor patch:
Use the dsdt patch attached.
 
 
Supports: Mac OSX 10.7 or greater
 
How to install:
1) Remove my kext from System (Optional).
2) Install my kext using your favorite kext installers.

Hello,

This post is going to be a part of my AppleHDA Patching guide. However, this post alone can be used to Patch AppleHDA binary. I'm using the codec ALC269 as an example for explaining the process. The credit goes to RevoGirl (R.I.P), TimeWalker and others who contributed for discovering the binary patch details.
 
Basically, what we try to do with binary patch is matching our codec ID with codec ID of Apple. By this way our codec gets enabled and work like an Apple codec. There are three Apple codecs from AppleHDA known to work very well for binary patching.

They are:

• ADI 1984 [0x11d41984]

          Hex Value for patching = "84 19 D4 11"

• ADI 1984B Analog [0x11d4198b]

          Hex Value for patching = "8B 19 D4 11"

• ALC 885 [0x10ec0885]

          Hex Value for patching = "85 08 EC 10"

Now, what we are gonna do is just replace the Vendor and Device id of our codec for any one of the above three Apple codec ID's and zero out/patch some lines which does the comparison and prevents the codec getting enabled. This method works very well for many codecs so far, but it might not for some codecs.

Note:
There is a script created by bcc9 from InsanelyMac for this bin patching. So, if want to do this in a script way then follow this post: Binary Patch Script. 

I'm going to use Apple codec ADI 1984 for the ALC 269 which works very well.
Things needed:

• Untouched AppleHDA from OSX 10.7 or greater
• Hex Fiend Application (For Patching binary)
• Codec dump from Linux (Read AppleHDA Complete guide for steps to get dump )
• Plist Editor (or) Xcode

Steps to patch AppleHDA binary:  [ALC269 codec is used as an example]
1. Go to the folder "AppleHDA.kext/Contents/MacOS" inside AppleHDA kext
2. Copy the binary file "AppleHDA" inside the folder MacOS to Desktop
3. Open the binary file "AppleHDA" from the application "Hex fiend"
4. Press the shortcut keys "Command+F" in Hex fiend app to open Find and Replace boxes
 
For AppleHDA 10.8 or later:

Enter "84 19 D4 11" in Find Box (Apple codec) and
      "69 02 EC 10" in replace box (use your ‘Vendor Id’ value from codec dump)
Press "Replace All" button to replace

Note 1: For ADI 1984/1984B patch,  if your codec device id value is less "884" then you need this additional patch.

If your codec device id is less than "884" then you need to clear a check in AppleHDA, otherwise it will try to skip this and will load ALC885 codec instead.  Because in our example of ALC269 whose device id "0269 (0x10ec0269)" is less than "884", so we need to apply this patch which clear the comparison to use the ADI 1984 codec. 

Enter "84 08 EC 10" in Find box and 
      "00 00 00 00" in replace box
Press "Replace All" button to replace

Note 2: For ADI 1984B, you need this additional patch.

If you use Apple codec ADI 1984B to patch, then you have to clear ADI 1984 check for loading the codec ADI 1984B.

Enter "84 19 D4 11" in Find box and 
      "00 00 00 00" in replace box
Press "Replace All" button to replace

For AppleHDA in 10.7:

In 10.7, we need the below additional patch along with the patches used in 10.8 or greater.

Enter "83 19 D4 11" in Find Box and
      "00 00 00 00" in replace box
Press "Replace All" button to replace

5. After above replaces, save the file from File menu and copy the patched AppleHDA binary from desktop to back too "AppleHDA.kext/Contents/MacOS".
 
Binary patch is finished, next we need to patch the AppleHDA kext with the details of layout, codec id and calculated codec verbs from the AppleHDA guide.
 
Patching AppleHDA Kext:
1. Open the file Info.plist from the folder "AppleHDA.kext/Contents/Plugins/AppleHDAHardwareConfigDriver.kext/" using Xcode/Plist editor
2. Go to the section "IOKitPersonalities->HDA Hardware Config Resource->HDAConfigDefault->Item 0"  in info.plist
3. Edit the item "CodecID" to the decimal value of Vendor Id found from codec dump, which is “283902569” (0x10EC0269) for ALC269 as shown in the below picture of the codec dump.

4. Edit the item “ConfigData" to the calculated codec verb data by following the AppleHDA complete guide

<01271cf0 01271d00 01271e00 01271f40 
01471c10 01471d01 01471e13 01471f90 
01771cf0 01771d00 01771e00 01771f40 
01871c20 01871d10 01871e81 01871f04 
01971c30 01971d01 01971ea0 01971f90 
01a71cf0 01a71d00 01a71e00 01a71f40 
01b71cf0 01b71d00 01b71e00 01b71f40 
01d71cf0 01d71d00 01d71e00 01d71f40 
01e71cf0 01e71d00 01e71e00 01e71f40 
02171c40 02171d10 02171e21 02171f04 01470c02>

5. Edit the item “LayoutID" to “28” for Realtek ALC2xx (or) â€œ12” for ALC8xx/IDT/Conexant and save the file.

6. Patch your DSDT with the layout value.

7. Everything is done, now you can install the patched AppleHDA kext and reboot.
 

DSDT Patch:

Add (or) edit the _DSM method to HDEF device in DSDT using below code (or) use the attached patch files in DSDT editor.

Note: Replace the value "1c" to "0c" if you are using layout12.

          Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)
                {
                    Store (Package (0x06)
                        {
                            "hda-gfx", 
                            Buffer (0x0A)
                            {
                                "onboard-1"
                            }, 
                            "layout-id", 
                            Buffer (0x04)
                            {
                                 0x1C, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00
                            }, 
                            "PinConfigurations", 
                            Buffer (Zero) {}
                        }, Local0)
                    DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0))
                    Return (Local0)
                }

Hope this helps for many. Please let me know if you have any doubts and I will try to answer and help if possible. I've attached patched AppleHDA files of ALC269 for reference.

Files sent to address above! My system is a D830 with NVS140M NVidia card.

 

I've also attached system report to this thread....adn open this other thread:

 

https://osxlatitude.com/index.php?/topic/1942-d830-nvs140m-mountain-lion-unable-to-install/page__gopid__14284#entry14284

 

THX!!!

I'll look into that and let you know what I can do for you as soon as possible.

I chose to leave out the pre-modified DSDT. If you need/want them, let me know. It only comes as DSDT.aml.

 

Files sent. Thanks for looking, EMlyDinEsH!

 

Edit:

 

Forgot IORegistryExplorer file! Sending another email containing that file only!

I'm really sorry as I should have mentioned in the thread itself about the SSDT patching. SSDT patching to enable the Native Power management is only for the newer processors like intel Core i3, i5 and i7. So, I can only do dsdt patching which are relevant to your model but you said already got it working. There is nothing here which I can help you with. But, I can try for the power management and sleep as much as possible. So, Plz send me the files from Windows becoz files from the Linux was not perfect for me.

DSDT has already been modified on most, if not all, Latitude D series laptops. Has the SSDT?

 

For example, if I send you the IORegistry taken from 10.7.5 for my D520 and the DSDT from EDP for my model, will that be sufficient? Having native Speedstep and sleep have always been a quest of mine lol.

It would be better if you send me the files I asked along with your edited files.

Hello EMlyDinEsH,

 

I sent you my files yesterday to the [email protected] email.

 

I have an Asus K55VM and my email is: "[email protected]"

 

Thanks and best regards!!

I got files and let you know tomorrow.

Please I want DSDT and SSDT for Asus zenbook ux21

I've patched and sent you the files. Plz check and post a guide with all the files when you are done setting up Mac Successfully on it.

CHAPTER -2 PATCHING XML FILES:

***Platforms and Layoutxx file Patch Explanation***
 

COMPRESSING AND UNCOMPRESSING ZLIB FILES OF PLATFORM AND LAYOUT XML:
From 10.8 or later, the xml files are compressed to zlib format. We have to uncompress them to edit the files. After editing, again we have to compress it back to zlib.

For Compressing and uncompressing, use the attached perl script and below commands in terminal:

for uncompressing
perl zlib.pl inflate layout28.xml.zlib > layout28.xml

for compressing
perl zlib.pl deflate layout28.xml > layout28.xml.zlib

Layoutxx.xml file Patching
 
You can either use the attached xml files (or) can choose any one of the layout xml file from the apple Resources directory inside AppleHDA kext that matches Inputs and outputs of your codec and try this only if you want to experiment.

I'm using the Layout28.xml of Apple and edited to the values of ALC269. One of the reason to choose layout28 is because its used in MacBookPro8,1 and works very well. The other layout id's which also works for some codecs are '1' and '12' in hackintosh.
 
Note: We removed the tags External Mic, SPDIF from the Apple layout28 xml file since they are not needed for our example ALC269.
 
In the Layout xml file, we have to edit the following information.
 
1. LayoutID

<key>LayoutID</key>
<integer>28</integer> 

2. CodecID [ALC 269 Vendor id decimal value =283902569 ]

<key>CodecID</key>
<array>
  <integer>283902569</integer>
</array>

 
3. Edit the Inputs key like below for External Mic(LineIn) and Internal Mic in Notebooks

<key>Inputs</key>
<array>
   <string>Mic</string>
   <string>LineIn</string>
</array>

 
4. Edit the "IntSpeaker" key  like below and remove all the signal processing elements.
Note: set MuteGPIO to 0 (or) remove this if its not working [ not supported by some codecs]

For Realtek:

<key>IntSpeaker</key>
<dict>
    <key>MaximumBootBeepValue</key>
    <integer>48</integer>
    <key>MuteGPIO</key>
    <integer>0</integer>
</dict>

For others:

 <key>IntSpeaker</key>
<dict>
    <key>MaximumBootBeepValue</key>
    <integer>110</integer>
</dict>

5. Edit the "LineIn" key  like below. 
For Realtek:

<key>LineIn</key>
<dict>
     <key>MuteGPIO</key>
     <integer>1342242840</integer>
</dict>

For Others:

<key>Mic</key>
<dict/>

6.  Edit the "Mic" key like below. 
For Realtek:

<key>Mic</key>
<dict>
     <key>MuteGPIO</key>
     <integer>1342242841</integer>
</dict>

For Others:

<key>LineIn</key>
<dict/>

 
7. Edit the Outputs key like below for Speakers and Headphone in Notebooks

<key>Inputs</key>
<array>
  <string>Headphone</string>
  <string>IntSpeaker</string>
</array>

8. Edit the PathMapID tag at the end of the file with the PathMapID value used in Platforms xml file.

<key>PathMapID</key>
<integer>269</integer>

Note: SignalProcessing elements for Mic and Speaker are not supported by some codecs, so i've removed it. But can provide some good audio if used but not sure, so try to experiment with this later after getting audio working. I've attached xml files with the SignalProcessing working fine in ALC269 for speaker and Mic in Realtek and IDT for your reference, you can get more from Apple xml files.

Platforms.xml Patching:
 
This file contains the Mapping of Controls to its nodes giving a path. These path maps are contained in the key tag "PathMaps".

Note:You can use the Platforms xml file i've attached which has all the PathMaps of Apple codec are removed and has only one PathMap of ALC269 in order to make it easy for editing instead of Apple file.
 
We need to add our pathMaps to this root key which is a mapping of our Pin Complex's(O/P & I/P) to its Output/Input controls.
 
Follow the pattern i've explained below and edit the values of your codec nodes PathMaps calculated in the first post for each input and output. After editing then add the PathMap pattern of yours inside the file Platforms.xml at the end after the key tag of PathMapID like below.

   <key>PathMapID</key>
   <integer>[some apple id]</integer>
</dict>
<<< Your pathMaps >>

The pattern for the PathMap is

<dict>
     <key>PathMap</key>
            <array>
                <array>
                    <array>
                      Data of Input1 (LineIn)
                    </array>
                    <array>
                      Data of Input2 (Mic)
                    </array>
                </array>
                <array>
                    <array>
                      Data of Output1 (Speaker)
                    </array>
                    <array>
                      Data of Output2 (Headphone)
                    </array>
                </array>
            </array>
            <key>PathMapID</key>
            <integer>[PathMapID used in layout#]</integer>
     </dict>

 
Input Data pattern: 

<array>
    <dict>
        <key>Amp</key>
        <dict>

Input Data pattern without Audio Mixer/Selector:

Note: Some codecs doesn't  need (or) use Audio Mixer/Selector node, so in order to get them working we should remove it from the pattern. Mostly this has been seen from IDT and Conexant codecs so far by me.

Hi friends,

          This is a complete AppleHDA patching guide for the Audio codec in the Notebooks (but theory works for Desktop too). I'm writing this guide based on my knowledge and experience gained myself doing so many patches and details from the web. Hoping this could help many people looking to patch their AppleHDA by themselves. I did my best to make this as simple as possible and will try to improve as the time passes.

Also I don't take credit for all this information entirely except for appreciation on writing this guide. The credit will go for all these people: king, Master Chief, RevoGirl, toleda, bcc9, TimeWalker and many others who contributed to AppleHDA patching.

I'm using the Audio codec ALC269 and HD3000 HDMI audio which i've in my notebook for explaining the process. And I'm gonna break this guide into four chapters since its gonna be a very lengthy guide because of trying to provide insight on everything. Hope everyone can find this easy and helpful. Lets get started!

The Four Chapters are:

1. Calculating Codec verb commands and PathMaps
2. Patching XML(Platforms and layout) files.
3. AppleHDA Binary Patch
4. HDMI Audio Patch(coming soon)

CHAPTER -1 CALCULATING CODEC VERB COMMANDS AND PATHMAPS:

*****Calculation of codec verb commands and PathMaps explanation*****
***Part 1***
**Section 1**
Getting the codec dump

First, we need get the dump of your audio codec from linux. So, get into any of the Linux distributions of either Live USB/CD (or) Full install.  

And enter the following command in terminal to get the dump in text format at Desktop.

cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#0 > ~/Desktop/codec_dump.txt
(or)
cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#1 > ~/Desktop/codec_dump.txt
(or)
cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#2 > ~/Desktop/codec_dump.txt

**Section 2**
Analyzing the codec dump and extracting relevant information

We need the following details from the codec dump:

1. Codec
2. Address
3. Vendor Id (Convert this hex value into decimal value)
4. Pin Complex Nodes with Control Name
5. Audio Mixer/Selector Nodes
6. Audio Output Nodes
7. Audio Input Nodes

Above details for the example ALC269 from the codec dump are below:

1. CODEC : Realtek ALC269VB

2. ADDRESS : 0

3. VENDOR ID : Hex: 0x10ec0269 [Decimal: 283902569]

***Part 2***
**Section 1**
Extracting the values 'Pin Default', 'EAPD' and 'Node ID' from the Pin Complex Nodes:
We have analyzed and got the relevant details from the codec dump in part 1. Now, we try to get the values of Pin Default, EAPD and Node ID from the Pin Complex nodes with Control Name extracted above.

For the example ALC269:-
Pin Complex Nodes with Control Name

Node 14 : Pin Default 0x99130110, EAPD: 0x02
Node 18 : Pin Default 0x04a11820
Node 19 : Pin Default 0x99a3092f
Node 21 : Pin Default 0x0421101f

**Section 2**
Extracting the verb data:
We will get the verb data from the Pin Default values of Nodes.

Pin default values must be read from right to left. And we will take two digits from it and write it down from left to right like below explained for ALC269.

Node 14:
Pin Default value: 0x99130110
Extracted verb data: "10 01 13 99"

Node 18:
Pin Default value: 0x04a11820
Extracted verb data: "20 18 a1 04"

Node 19:
Pin Default value: 0x99a3092f
Extracted verb data: "2f 09 a3 99"

Node 21:
Pin Default value: 0x0421101f
Extracted verb data: "1f 10 21 04"

Now, we need to correct the above verb data according to verbs info explained in the second post. 

at Node 14: 10 01 13 99 [ Correction 99->90(Note 1)]
at Node 18: 20 18 a1 04 [ Correction 18->10(Note 2)]
at Node 19: 2f 09 a3 99 [ Correction 2f->20(Note 3) 09->01(Note 2) 99->90(Note 1)]
at Node 21: 1f 10 21 04 [ Correction 1f->10(Note 3)]
at Node 14 EAPD : 02 (Note 5) 

Corrected Verb Data:
Code:
at Node 14: 10 01 13 90
at Node 18: 20 10 a1 04
at Node 19: 20 01 a3 90
at Node 21: 10 10 21 04
at Node 14 EAPD : 02

Verb data after default association corrections: Note 4

at Node 14: 10 01 13 90
at Node 18: 20 10 a1 04
at Node 19: 30 01 a3 90
at Node 21: 40 10 21 04
at Node 14 EAPD : 02

Final Verb data after Mic corrections: Note 6 and Note 7

Node 14: 10 01 13 90
Node 18: 20 10 81 04
Node 19: 30 01 a0 90
Node 21: 40 10 21 04
Node 14 EAPD : 02

Note 1: Location correction (9x)

Apple uses the location value as Built in Device - N/A instead of ATAPi in their codecs, which is always '0 ' for the location bit for the Integrated devices(Speakr, Int Mic). This is optional and audio will work if we use default codec value also. Just changing this to be more like Apple codec so we can avoid any future issues.

Ex:- at Node 14: 10 01 13 90 (Speaker) [ Changed from 9 to 0]
at Node 19: 30 01 a0 90 (Int Mic) [ Changed from 9 to 0]

Note 2: Jack color and sense capability correction (xx)

For internal devices like speakers etc., we use the jack color value as '0'(unknown) and need to Jack sense value of '1'.

For external devices like Headphones etc.,  we use the jack color value as '1'(black) and need to Jack sense value of '0'.

In this jack color may be optional, but Jack sense must use the values i've explained.

Note 3: Sequence correction (Ax)

We have to set this value to '0' for every device because Apple don't use analog multi out.

We have corrected above 2f and 1f values to 20 and 10 by replacing f with 0 in our example, so this Sequence number(Second digit) value must be always 0 for every node and A is the associate bit value of the node which is unique for each node.

Note 4: Default association correction (x0)

The Default association bit in the codec verbs must not match with other devices, so the association bit must be unique for all the devices.

Here, We have same association bit for both Speakers and Headphone as "1" and for both Mic's as "2", so we have to correct this default association bit. Most importantly the association bit must be in sequence and serially like assigning 1,2...x to the Nodes in sequence.

For example:- '1' to node 14, '2' to node 18 in sequence, '3' to Node 19 in sequence and '4' to Node 21 in sequence to previous node 19.
The association bit value can either 1 2 3….. d.e.f.

Note 5: EAPD existence
We have to look carefully at the output nodes like Speaker and Headphone, since in some codecs there is an External Amplifier(EAPD) to power up/down the Speaker to save power. We need to use EAPD command to wake up the node to get the sound otherwise we won't get sound even though its recognized.

Note 6: Internal Mic correction
If you did not get the "Ambient noise reduction" working for the Internal mic then you have to correct the "Connection type" bit field to Unknown Code Value(i.e, 0). In our example, we have the value 'a3' for the mic and corrected to 'a0'.

Note 7: External Mic correction
Here, we have to correct the external mic verb data to LineIn, otherwise the external mic won't work with AppleHDA.So, the verb data needs to be corrected at the position where it tells what kind of device it is.

Existing verb data for External Mic is "ax", where 'a' tells its Mic In. Now, we change this to Line in with 'ax' is replaced by '81' .

***Part 3***
Calculating the Codec verb commands :

Formulae for calculating the Codec verbs is:
Codec Address + NodeID + Verb Commands + Verb data

We have the Codec Address value from the Section 2 of Part 1.
We have the NodeID's values from the above Section 1 of Part 2.
Verb Commands are standard and they are 71c, 71d, 71e, 71f and 70c for EAPD
We have the verb data from the Section 2 of Part 2.

Calculation of codec Verb commands for the example ALC269:

For the Pin Complex Node 14:
0 + 14 + 71c + 10 = 01471c10
0 + 14 + 71d + 01 = 01471d01
0 + 14 + 71e + 13 = 01471e13
0 + 14 + 71f + 90 = 01471f90

For the Pin Complex Node 18:
0 + 18 + 71c + 20 = 01871c20
0 + 18 + 71d + 10 = 01871d10
0 + 18 + 71e + 81 = 01871e81
0 + 18 + 71f + 04 = 01871f04

For the Pin Complex Node 19:
0 + 19 + 71c + 30 = 01971c30
0 + 19 + 71d + 01 = 01971d01
0 + 19 + 71e + a0 = 01971ea0
0 + 19 + 71f + 90 = 01971f90

For the Pin Complex Node 21:
0 + 21 + 71c + 40 = 02171c40
0 + 21 + 71d + 10 = 02171d10
0 + 21 + 71e + 21 = 02171e21
0 + 21 + 71f + 04 = 02171f04

In our ALC269 example, there is an EAPD at Node 14 of Speaker. So, we need to calculate the verb command for this EAPD and use in our patch to get sound from speaker.
 

For EAPD at Node 14:
0 + 14 +70c + 02 = 01470c02

Now, we assemble the calculated codec verb commands so we can use for AppleHDA patch.

02171c40 02171d10 02171e21 02171f04>

DISABLING THE NODES (PIN COMPLEX) THAT ARE NOT USED:

We should disable the nodes that the codec is not using, so we can avoid any issues from them. Use the following the verb data for disabling those nodes and calculate verb commands.

Verb data for disabled node:

F0 00 00 40

Final codec verb commands with disabled nodes are:

***Part 4***
Calculating the PathMaps:

For calculating the PathMaps, we have to carefully follow the connections mentioned in every node from the analyzed relevant nodes information in the Section 2 of Part 1.

For output Devices, the PathMap follows this pattern

We have to find a Pin Complex node, an Audio Mixer node (optional for some codecs) and finally an Audio output node.

Pin Complex -> Audio Mixer -> Audio Output
(or)
Pin Complex ->  Audio Output

For Input Devices, the PathMap follow this pattern

We have to find a Pin Complex node, an Audio Mixer/Selector node (optional for some codecs) and finally an Audio input node.

Pin Complex -> Audio Selector/Mixer -> Audio Input
(or)
Pin Complex -> Audio Input

Output device PathMap calculation:
Lets first calculate the PathMaps for the output devices speaker and Headphone in our example ALC269.

According to the output device PathMap pattern, first we need to find Pin Complex node. In our ALC269 example, the output device 'Speaker' is located at the Pin Complex Node 0x14 with the Control Name "Speaker Playback Switch". Write down this Pin Complex node value in hex and decimal value.

0x14 , Decimal - 20

Now, take a look at the Connection in the Node 0x14.
We have two connections to nodes 0x0c and 0x0d, but the connection 0x0c has an asterisk symbol(*) indicating that this node 0x14 has a real connection to the node 0x0c which is an Audio Mixer needed according to our PathMaps pattern,  so write down this node value in sequence

0x14->0x0c, Decimal - 20->12

Again, take a look at the node 0x0c we reached from the node 0x14. Here, we have two more nodes 0x02 and 0x0b without asterisk symbol(*) indicating the path where it goes. So, we have to figure out ourself and choose one from the two nodes. To solve this, just take a look at the two Nodes 0x02 and 0x0b.

For the output device PathMap, we already have two nodes out of three required except Audio Output Node. In our case 0x02 node is the Audio Output, so write this value in the sequence

0x14->0x0c->0x02, Decimal - 20->12->2

Now, we have calculated PathMap for the output device speaker.

Similarly, take a look at the Pin Complex Node 0x21 which is also an another output device "HeadPhone Playback switch". If we calculate the PathMap just like speaker and we will get

0x21->0x0d->0x03, Decimal - 33->13->3

Now, we have calculated PathMap for the output device Headphone.

NOTE: 

If both Pin Complex nodes have connection to same Audio output node then try to use the other output node we analyzed from codec dump and test. sometimes using same output node for both also works.

Input device PathMaps calculation:

Calculating the pathMaps for input devices is little different from the output devices because connections are not mentioned and doesn't follow similar to output nodes. So, in this case we have go through the PathMap pattern from "Audio input" to "Pin Complex node" instead from "Pin Complex node" to "Audio Input" like we did for Output devices.

Like this,

1. First go to the Audio input node and look at the connections to the nodes Audio Mixer/Selector from here.
2. Follow the connection which will lead us to Audio Mixer/Selector
3. At Audio Mixer/Selector, Look at the Connections for the "*" symbol on Pin complex node
4. If it contains the symbol "*" then that is the Pin Complex node it is connected to, so got the PathMap of Pin Comple Node->Audio Mixer/Selector->Audio Input we needed.
5. If it does not contain then compare the results of the other Audio Input node ->Audio Mixers/Selector for the symbol "*". Even that Audio Mixer/Selector node also don't has symbol "*" then try to experiment with the available options of Pin complex node to Audio Selector/Mixer nodes (or) look at the Pin Complex node connections to Audio Selector/Mixer nodes.

Lets calculate the PathMaps for the example of ALC 269. 

I've followed the Audio input (Node#9) Connection to Audio Selector(Node#22) then to Audio Input (Node#18) because of the symbol "*" on that node indicating default path.

0x09->0x22->0x18 => 0x18->0x22->0x09

Again, followed Audio input (Node#8) Connections to Audio Mixer(Node#23). But, i did not find the symbol "*" here to show the path. However, i've followed to Pin complex (Node#19) because its the only Input device we left with and even the connections of the Node#22 contains a Connection to Node#19 as well.

0x08->0x023->0x19 => 0x19->0x23->0x08

PathMaps for the Output and Input Devices of ALC269:

Pin Complex->Audio Mixer->Audio Output (Hex values)
Speaker : 20-> 12-> 2 (0x14->0x0c->0x02)
HeadPhone : 33-> 13-> 3 (0x21->0x0d->0x03)

Pin Complex->Audio Selector/Mixer->Audio Input(Hex values)
Internal Mic : 25-> 35-> 8 (0x19->0x23->0x08)
External Mic : 24-> 34-> 9 (0x18->0x22->0x09)

Hi

 

I'm struggling to even get my K53E to boot in to mountain lion after Sucessful install !

 

Please help

Plz provide your notebook specification so i can help you.

Hello everyone,
 
   As we know that for Hackintosh, most of the systems needs a patched DSDT in order to get everything working and stable in OSX, and SSDT files are needed for the native cpu power management and Speedsteps to work in Intel processors.  
 
We know that most of you can't patch DSDT/SSDT yourself (or) don't have skills/time to search the web for posts/info related to DSDT/SSDT. So, this thread is meant for the users to request DSDT/SSDT patch. This thread explains how to get the system dump needed for DSDT/SSDT patching from either Windows (or) Linux to request patch and using those patched files.
 
We'll try to do our best in patching the DSDT and SSDT that are relevant to the system we get by doing our research, but remember for some systems the patched files may not solve everything  because it might need something else too along with DSDT/SSDT patching.

Notice:
NO LONGER WE ARE PROVIDING THIS SERVICE. SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE, AND WE WILL SURELY BRING BACK IT IN FUTURE. THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT.

 
STEPS TO GET THE DUMPS FROM WINDOWS:

NOTE: Newer versions of AIDA64 does not have ACPI tool so use the v3.20 or lower, if that does not work then use RWEverything app instead.

How to dump DSDT and SSDT files from Windows using AIDA64:

1. Download and install the App AIDA64 v2 (new versions don't has the ACPI tool feature) from the link: http://www.aida64.com/archives

2. Open the Application and right click on the down left corner of the application as shown in the picture below to open the Menu
3. Select the option "ACPI Tool" from the Menu
4. Click on the button "Save Table" and choose "DSDT" from the list to save
5. Similarly, again click on the button "Save Table" and choose "SSDT" to save all the SSDT files one by one (there will upto 4 or more of these SSDT files)

Screenshot from AIDA64 app showing DSDT/SSDT dump files location:

How to dump System Devices info from Windows using AIDA64:

1. Open the AIDA64 Application and right click on the down left corner of the app to open menu
2. From the menu, choose "System debug" then Select "PCI Dump" which will open a window with the dump details

3. Click on "Save to File" Button for saving the dump
4. Again, From the menu choose the option "System debug" then Select the option "Devices Dump" and save this dump as well
5. Finally, Save a Report as shown in the picture#2 below

ALTERNATE METHOD:

How to dump DSDT and SSDT files from Windows using RWEverything:

1. Download and install the App RWEverything from the link: http://rweverything.com/download/

2. Open the Application and click on the button "APCI".
3. Save DSDT and all the SSDT files you found there.

 
STEPS TO GET THE DUMPS FROM LINUX:
How to extract DSDT and SSDT files from Linux using acpi commands:
1. First you need to install the following two programs to get the dump.
acpidump:

Enter the below command in terminal to install:

sudo apt-get install acpidump

(or)
Download and install it from here:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/acpidump

iasl:

Enter the below command in terminal to install:

sudo apt-get install iasl

2. Open Terminal and enter the following commands one by one to get the DSDT and SSDT dump files

sudo acpidump > acpidump.out
sudo acpixtract -a acpidump.out
sudo iasl -d DSDT.dat

 
How to dump System Devices info from Linux using lspci command:
1. Open Terminal and enter the following command to get the devices info dump

lspci -nn

2. Save the output of the above command in a text file
 

SEND US THE DUMP FILES BY FOLLOWING BELOW THE RULES TO THE MAIL: [email protected]

• Extracted files using the above steps either from Windows (or) Linux OS 
• Specify your CPU model name in the mail (Ex:- Intel Core i3 2330M)
• IOReg File saved using the attached IORegistryExplorer(v2.1) app [Only if you have OSX already installed]
• Mention Free (or) Sponsored patching in the mail
• Post your Notebook/Desktop Model and CPU model name in this thread
• Try to remind us about the patch request if you did not receive the patched files because we might forget due to the huge number of free requests we get and due to our free limited time.

HOW TO USE PATCHED DSDT/SSDT FILES: (with Chameleon boot loader)
 
   1. Copy the patched DSDT and SSDT files to Extra folder
   2. Add/Edit these flags in org.chameleon.Boot.plist file

<key>DSDT</key>
<string>/Extra/DSDT.aml</string>
<key>DropSSDT</key>
<string>Yes</string>

   3. Remove the flags "GraphicsEnabler, GeneratePStates and GenerateCStates" from  org.chameleon.Boot.plist file if you have since we patch these in dsdt/ssdt
   4. Remove NullCPUPowerManagement.kext and Install patched AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext
  5. Use the MacBookPro8,x SMBios for Sandy/IvyBridge, MacBookAir5,x  for Ivy Bridge and  MacBookAir6,x for Haswell to get good number of CPU PStates, otherwise you will get only few states and mostly it will be only two CPU states of Min and Max. Also try to experiment with other SMBios files that have hardware close to yours and see if you can get more PStates.

HOW TO USE PATCHED DSDT/SSDT FILES: (with Clover boot loader)
 
   1. Copy the patched DSDT and SSDT files to EFI->CLOVER->ACPI->patched folder.
   2.  Enable the flag "DropOEM" from APCI section of clover config.plist and disable Generate flag.

   3.  Enable the flag "AsusAICPUPM" for Ivy/Sandy bridge systems, "KernelPm" for Haswell systems from "KernelAndKextPatches" section of clover config.plist.

HOPE WE CAN BE HELPFUL FOR SOME
