Dell 5437 Sound and stability issues

[tosbaha]

Hi,

I am trying to mke this laptop run Mavericks. I am jumping out from one forum to another but still can't fix the problems I have.

1. System freezes. It happened couple of times

a. Inserting USB device (not always)

b. Running IoReg

c. During Web browsing

d. No apparent reason.

I just can’t find the real reason.

2. Audio doesn't work. It works if I use patched dsdt and VoodoHDA but sound quality is not good and I hear noise from headphones.

I am really tired. Last night I stayed till 5 AM to find solutions which I couldn't. I really want to fix it. I have attached everything I have for now

Extracted Folder

This folder has my original unpatched DSDT and SSDT tables extracted from Windows with AIDA

Patched Folder

This folder has my patched files that I use right now. It has patched DSDT, SSDT.aml which is created with ssdtPRGEN and SSDT-*.aml files. I have patched SSDT-4.aml for brightness.

Codec Folder

This folder has my CodecDump.zip extracted with Ubuntu. I have also added converted txt and svg files.

Settings Folder

This folder has my IoReg created with DSDT=no option and chameleon settings.

Delete VoodooHDA.kext, HDAEnable.kext, HDAdisble.kext if available. Install kext AppleHDA, copy DSDT.aml to Extra then reboot. Feedback hope this help
