So I'm happily running my Lenovo ThinkPad X201 with Mavericks 10.9.5. All good, but... There are a few things I'm trying to perfect and running into trouble. 1. The trackpad is very sensative even at the lowest settings 2. The audio is quieter than my windows and linux partitions. Quite a bit quieter 3. The external VGA video port does not work. I know that the fix for the first two may lie in trying other kexts, but every time I try a different kext, I loose my QE/CI graphics (which have worked perfectly from the install). So what's the proceedure for trying different kexts for audio and mouse/trackpad without botching the video. And has anybody gotten the external VGA port to work (I haven't seen any thread about success with that). Thanks,

I've been researching how to enable the subwoofer for my Asus G75vw for sometime now and have hit a brick wall. I've found how the ubuntu developers got it working here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1045981 and attempted to do the same with some AppleHDA patching in mavericks. Unfortunately, despite having everything exactly as they had and after trying numerous other ideas like different amp values, pin configs, and path maps, the closest I can get is to have the subwoofer detected with volume control and everything, but no sound coming out of it. Also, the internal mic doesn't work either. The issue is that in the proper path map for the subwoofer, there's an out of range widget (3e) which causes alas-mixer, applehda, or whatever to be unable to trace the path map and thus unable to detect the subwoofer. VoodooHDA works perfectly for everything except the subwoofer due to the issue above. Due to AppleHDA not panning out, I'm hoping that I can patch VoodooHDA to skip widget 3e and do what alsa-mixer in ubuntu now does thanks to the ubuntu developer patch. Does anyone know where in the source code I need to go to patch this and how? Edit: Got it patched

Dell Latitude D830 Nvidia Graphics 4 GB Ram Mavericks 10.9.1 I got Mavericks installed but, I have no sound must of the time it is only recognized during some boots. Are there any kext that will make my sound work all of the time?
