radeon 7870 partially working, help needed

[Mirone]

Why is it so complicated? I think I am using quite a common motherboard with common audio on it? Other people seem to have gotten it to work wit just the kext. What could be the issue? Different bios version?

Ps, I am using DVI-DVI by the way

I need to analyze your codec_dump

using a live version of Linux use this command in the terminal:

cd ~ / Desktop && mkdir CodecDump && c is in / proc / asound / card * / codec # *, the f = "$ {c / \ / * card / card}"; cat "$ c"> CodecDump / $ {f / / \ / / -}. txt, done && zip-r CodecDump.zip CodecDump

Everything works now

I have a fully working mackintosh I5 with 27 inch monitor and beautiful sound coming out of the speakers. I will use this system to make iphone games to my iphone and test.

Thank you very much for all the help, you guys have been really kind!

I wonder if there is something more I should do to the system or just let it be. I saw in some forums that I don't have any mkext so the cache systems seems to be broken.

I still need the sleep trick but at least everything is working now

@Pixeellegolas

no, you do not need a mkext.

As for sleep, I applied the patches needed for it

on some motherboards it works well in other not.

Do a test using the AppleACPIPlatform.kext 10.8.1 may resolve the problem of sleep.

Your HDMI audio works?

Actually the sound worked even without your latest files. I pulled out soundblaster, restarted computer into windows and made sound work there with internal. Now when I booted up mac osx sound worked...without me applying anything.

So I will try your new files soon. I was just happy now that everything works so afraid to break it

But if I can fix sleep that would be nice.

I will get back to you with results later

PS. have not tested HDMI sound yet. I dont use it on this comp anyway right now

SO, I tried with the new files you sent me and I also found a appleacpi kext here:

And these guys combined, I still need sleeptrick but with the new appleacpi the black screen is much shorter time. Maybe from 1 minute to 10 seconds

Does anyone still have access to this file? The link appears to be dead
