Installing Lion atm. So my other issue, the onboard audio being fuzzy, is that fixable through DSDT? Do I need just an HDEF tweak from you or do I need Voodoo as well? If so, which one? I know different Voodoo versions work better/worse for different chips. send_me.zip

Not sure what you mean. It's the onboard chip for the Sabertooth x58. It works fine on my Win7 partition, just comes out all choppy and fuzzy under 10.6.7 no matter what's playing (iTunes, YouTube, basic Mac sounds from alerts, etc.). I ran the auto-DSDT thing you made, it fixed everything else wonderfully except for my audio and my Logic issue, which I believe at this point is an issue with M-Audio's support for my ProFire interface -.- Thanks again for your time and help EDIT: Also, I'm currently downloading Lion to update the system. The DSDT I made for 10.6 should be fine for 10.7, right? From what I understand of it, it's just profiling the hardware, so it shouldn't have changed from 10.6 to 10.7. I just want to make sure I can use it before I install 10.7 so I can make it a smooth process.

Oh v.v Well, would you still be able to fix the onboard audio part of the dsdt for me? It's rather choppy and it'd be nice to at least be able to use the Mac for midi mixing if I can't record instruments or vocals. Currently all audio coming out of the Mac sounds fuzzy and choppy.

Audio: Sound is very choppy on the mac (itunes, mac sounds, etc). Sounds like I convert everything to 8bit and peak it before playing it through my speakers. FireWire(?): I plug in my ProFire 610 to the on-board FireWire port. I check to see if it's registering any input by going to System Settings>M-Audio ProFire, and I can see levels for the guitar I plugged in. I start up Logic 9 and select the ProFire under Settings>Audio>Input. I create a new audio track using Input 1, which is where the guitar is plugged in. I arm it for recording and pluck a string. No sound registers in Logic. The whole time Logic is running, whether I click on stuff or not, the 8th core in the activity meter spikes to maximum every 2-4 seconds, while all other cores and my HDD I/O meter stay empty. I updated, and now theres a little activity in core 1, max spike on 8th core, and all else are empty. I can't record a damn thing until I find out what's wrong I don't know if it's FireWire or Logic.

Thanks for the prompt response, as always Here are the files for my i7 950 Sabertooth X58 12GB 9800GT. I think the interface problem with Logic might be an issue with the data associated with my onboard FireWire port (DSDT, kernel, kext, not sure). If you could fix both my interface problem and my audio problem, I would be forever grateful for making it considerably easier for me to use my recording studio... since it currently can not function as intended -.- Edit: Also, would it be ok/recommended to update it to 10.6.8? Or should I just wait for Lion? I know it's mostly opinion, but I'd value your input on the topic. send_me.zip

I PMd MaLd0n about it, but I'm unsure if he's online atm and I need to know asap so I can stop sitting around inside and catch some nice weather. Does the autopatcher cover all revisions of the ASUS Sabertooth x58 bios? I believe I currently have 0603 which I know is supported, but I'd like to update it to the 1006 revision before I put snow on. Will this be compatible with the autopatch? Edit: He responded within minutes of messaging him, and it's a yes. Thanks MaLd0n!!!
