Sound kext for G41-MT-ES2L in Mountain Lion GM
  • hello ..

    i just installed ML GM using kakewalk 4.5

    but the sound not working for G41-MT-ES2L

    can you help me please !
  • Same issue here. Everything else is flawless!

  • awesome . i wish @Mrjanek fix the problem

  • Just given up with (multibeast) Lion audio on another install and tried Kakewalk on this board. Everything else went perfectly, very impressed. If this could be done it would be fantastic.

    Audio details all show up correctly in System Profiler but nothing in Preferences.

  • yeah .. we will waiting the new version of multibeat ML edition

  • I've got sound working now in mountain lion with this board by downloading multibeast 4.3.2 (an old version available in the downloads archive over at tonymacosx86) and choosing the ALCxx kext and the AppleHDA kext from 10.6.7 options.

    This is using the standard kakewalk DSDT for this board.

    So it's an old kext and not an ideal solution, but many people seem to be having issues with the new multibeast 888b/887 enablers. Let me know if it works for you guys.

  • ok i will try this solution but do you have the same motherboard ?

  • Not quite, I've got the ga-g41m-e2sl rev 1.1 so not the MT like yours. It uses the ALC887/888b chip, so it might be the same as yours.

  • yeah the same .

    ok try i downloaded the mutlibeast and choose the ALC8xx and i didn't fide the " AppleHDA kext from 10.6.7 options " i have mountain lion golden master .

  • I've updated Kakewalk with an older version of ALC8xx that will work with older motherboards. You should try it out. Just install like you normally would.

  • ok i will try ,,

  •  @mrjanek 


    oh no !! 

    i cant boot to my ML 

    and i try to make a new installation and fail to boot .

    please remove this kext . and make a new update for my mother board 

    now i can't login to my computer :(
  • Sorry it was the AppleHDA rollback option in multibeast which reverts to a 10.6.2 version, not 10.6.7. Then just tick the ALC8xxHDA from there as well, and repair permissions.


    Anyway this way works, I haven't attempted mrjanek's changes so can't comment on that. Many thanks!

    Edit: Make sure you delete existing AppleHDA and ALC8xxHDA kexts before running multibeast.
  • msime - your instructions worked for me to get my sound working, thanks!

    I have a GA-EP43-DS3L motherboard.

  • I have a  G41-MT-ES2L running latest Snow Leopard built with Kakewalk (have been running more than a year, it's great). 

    I am stuck at the first hurdle with ML. I have used the appstore to buy stuff before, so that is not the issue.

    When I try to buy Mountain Lion in the appstore I get the message "Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer".  I have made sure the plist says x86_64 and it is reporting 64bit. It has 4 gigs RAM and E4300 CPU

    Has any one else had this experience? How did you overcome it. Thx

  • to antbar : 


    my Hackintosh Processor is Core 2 Duo E7200 so it's supported the 64-bit .

    check you your processor if it support ML . 

    i bought ML via MacAppStore using GM ML and i just installed it on my MBP and my Hackintosh . 


  • Thx. E4300 is 64bit.

  • ok thats good .. try to but ML via Macbook or iMac . then copy make a USB installer via kakewalk 

  • run multi beast  5.0.2 go to drivers> audio >reltek>alc8xxx>with dsdt>alc888> v1000202 legacy and alc888b/887 v1000202legacy , reboot.
