Every Mac after installing Apple drivers still needs to install an audio driver (Cirrus or RealTek)
iMac is probably using Cirrus chipset and driver.
Some graphic drivers and gpu also can show or create virtual or phantom audio devices. The fact that you even have and could update the driver for gpu, some struggle with that and have trouble and need help.
The fact that it use to (not working anymore) seems strange and never would have asked or looked at PRAM, partially because I have 6 yr old Mac that is not even connected to power for months and still works, and a G4 MDD I take out once a year to boot and on the orginal 2003 pram battery.

Steam games on a Mac computer???

Hi,
Not being computer literate, I need help please. My son bought my husband a game called 'Empire: Total War' which is a Games for Windows DVD. When trying to install the game, the following message appears:
Warning Mac Users
If you are attempting to run Steam and Steam games on a Mac computer with a Windows emulator, DO NOT use this process as your OS may no longer recognize your hard drive. Please consult Apple Support for instructions on safely converting your hard drive.
I have looked at the Apple Support pages but there is so much to wade through that I have given up and thought I would ask instead.
Does anyone know what I am supposed to do? I would be VERY grateful to hear from you.
Many thanks,
Merrian

Your Mac can install Windows on the hard drive, by setting aside and making spare for a Windows partition using Boot Camp and Boot Camp Assistant (in Utility folder, inside Applications).
http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
Read the FAQ, and the PDF guide you cna print/save from inside Boot Camp Assistant.
I'd suggest planning on version of Windows, size of volume (depends on how much space is available), but first and foremost: BACKUP first. Then consider if it is worth all the effort. Or get a PC low end model just for gaming.

Macbook Pro Retina 15, Stop bluetooth device during file I/O on Bootcamp Windows7

Hi.
My Macbook pro Retina 15, Stop magic mouse & apple bluetooth keyboard during some file copy local folder or usb storege or nas on bootcamp windows7 pro 64bit.
I called apple korea. but they don't have answers. also It base on bootcamp windows, they can't support me
It only occure on my macbook pro retina on bootcamp. only bluetooth devices not own keyboard or touchpad.
My iMac(2009late) does not problem.
Yesterday I clean setup bootcamp again, It still problem.
I just guess some bootcamp driver problem at ssd or bluethooth. Mac OS also OK.
First time I got new ratina, no problem. nothing to chaged. just update collectly.
Anybody help or same problem here?
Thanks

I should point out, this happens with/without peripherals attached.. ILOK dongle was disconnected at the time of crash. I will however check for updates..
I have found somthing interesting tho - as it's out of warranty I downloaded a fan controller and forced the fans to full speed... The MacBook played video for hours, no problems. I believe this is a overheating issue because they fans just do to turn spin fast enough without being forced... Or it could be dust?
I'm going to have Genius Bar clean it out if the will?.,.

GE620DX - new Nvidia driver breaks steam games

Hi,
Yesterday I upgraded the graphics driver on my GE620DX to the one just released (285.98) downloaded from here:
http://www.msi.com/service/download/nbdriver-17287.html
After doing this all my Steam games that are configured to use the NV graphics card would fail to start with an 'error code 51' message appearing. Switching them back to integrated graphics allowed them to run. This didn't seem to happen with non Steam games as I was able to run WoW, which is set to run on the nvidia card.
I put the previous driver back (269.13) and this problem stopped happening so I'm pretty sure there's something wrong with the new drivers or the way Steam interacts with them.
Martin

Settings prog is bugged? How? It's to early to check everything but I could sucessfully run nvidia-settings and for example add a shadow to mouse cursor :-) I don't use it to restore the settings and I don't think it's very useful at all except maybe for gamers so it's not a big deal.
As I said I'm not using twinview too - I'm running tv-out but as a second screen (standard xfree way to do this). The lower resolution is not a problem then. But people who are using twinview for their own reasons (like external monitors connected to notebooks, cloning crt on the tv, etc. etc.) should consider staying with the older drivers for some time. Maybe it's a bug and nvidia will release a new driver with 1024x768 on the tv enabled again? - That's just a warning and I suggest to backup your older nvidia arch package if someone is using it.

[Solved] All Steam games have low FPS

Hello Archers!
I have recently switched back to Arch a few weeks ago and did not have these issues. However, I did a reinstall due to my own f**kup (it was faster to reinstall) a couple days ago and since then I have had terrible performance with Steam games no matter if I set them to low settings and low resolution or in windowed mode. The only thing I have done different from that install versus this one is I installed KDE instead of Gnome. This issue happens with all games I have and a list of most played are below. I am using the Open ATI driver due to the FGLRX driver not wanting to use both of my monitors at once. Has anyone had this issue before? I am going to look through the Gnome packages and see if there are any graphics related packages that I may try to install.

[SOLVED] Download speed is slow while playing certain Steam games

This is a weird one: When playing Steam games my download speed (everywhere) drops to a fraction of what it should be (roughly 1/10th). My upload speed is unaffected.
I don't know how long this has been the case but I think it's fairly recent since when playing games I often tab out and do stuff on the net. I would've noticed.
This doesn't happen with Portal 2, Civ V, Guacamelee or Xcom but does happen with Rochard, Steamworks Dig, Gateways (2d puzzle platformer) and Awesomenauts. I was looking for a pattern but I fail to see one.
To be clear about the problem: If I start one of those games and tab out my download speed is 1/10th what it should be. If I exit the game my download speed returns to normal instantly.
I've checked for obvious stuff like Steam downloading in the background (it's not and nor is anything else - no unusual network activity at all). I've checked for mere coincidence - signal dropping/interference and so on and that seems not to be it either. It's also far too consistent and, as I say, upload is unaffected for some reason.
I don't even know what info to give with this one or how to begin tracking it down so any advice will be received gratefully.
I'm running Arch 64bit, all up to date.

Ok, well, I *think* I've sort of solved it:
I went through various wifi channels and found that the degree to which my download speed was reduced varied depending on the wifi channel I was on. So I left a game running and watched the download speed and the speed of my CPU and GPU as they clocked up/down and it seems that one of them is managing to interfere with the wifi signal. Or at least that's my best guess. High wifi channel numbers seem to be affected least (significantly so) so ... yeah.
I don't know if this makes sense technically (and no idea how I've never encountered it before) but... that's my guess.

Bootcamp windows7 freezing on start up and taking around 40 minutes to load. Mac mountain lion also taking around 5 minutes to load on start up

I would like to have your kind support..Bootcamp windows7 freezing on start up and taking around 40 minutes to load. Mac mountain lion also taking around 5 minutes to load on start up.

My first step would be to get rid of "Norton protection". Boot from your OS 10.6 disc, navigate through your hard drivve and trash anything that is Norton. Empty the trash.
Next, run Disk Utility and ask it to repair the hard drive.

Launchpad deletion question mark on steam games and other apps

Hello, when in launchpad some icons if double clicked have a question mark that appears than if you hold them down the jiggle and the black x appears unlike before you double clicked it what does this mean? As an example I created a desktop shorcut for a steam game and put the icon in launchpad than I dumped the icon on the desktop in the trash. When I tried to use the jiggly method to delete the launchpad icon no x appeared but when I double clicked it a question mark appeared and than the little black x? Has what I did damaged the game or app ina anyway?

Alad, I have noticed only one similar error:
ERROR: ld.so: object 'libdlfaker.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored
You probably want to start a 32-bit application with bumblebee on a 64-bit system. See the "Note" box in Installation.
but I have all needed lib32.
Or am I wrong?

Mitigating DRM creating packages from Steam games?

In the light of recent events (http://www.reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/ … irst_game/), do you think it will be wise to create AUR packages from Steam games? These packages could be rebuilt everytime we want, considering that games can be updated.
Before you said it, i know, this is our fault for accepting Steam with all its DRM crap included. That's why this is a mitigation, not a solution.
Thanks!

You have a naive undestanding of how steam and DRM works in general. (And possibly AUR, hard to tell)
If a binary is locked to steam and valve says you can no longer play this game then you cannot start it even if you have all the files.
In theory it could work in the so called "offline mode" for a while, but it will demand an internet connection sooner or later and then no game for you.
Steam is DRM and they made it clear you are not buying the games, you just buy a license to play. If you want to create backups that will work don't buy steam games, use DRM free shops like the Humble Store or GOG.

970A-G46 Steam game crash

Hey everyone,
So I just put together a system with an AMD FX 8320 Black Edition, MSI 970A-G46 mobo, MSI Radeon 7870 2GB DDR5/OC, 16GB corsair vengeance DDR3 (running at 1600MHz), Win8 64-bit, Ultra 750W modular PSU, and I seem to be having problems with a steam game crashing on startup. I know there have historically been problems with Steam applications and AMD FX cpus but I had heard they were long since fixed through BIOS updates. I have updated to the latest BIOS (2.3) listed on the MSI website, but I am still having the same issue. Other games (skyrim, doom3 etc.) open just fine through steam, it is only CS:GO that I have a problem with. When I try to run the game I get this:

Any assisstance would be greatly appreciated.

check it with MSI at >>How to contact MSI.<<
and there is special BIOS for the steam issue [in some other AMD mobos there was such]

990FXA-GD80 steam games problem

Hello,
I updated the BIOS to the newest official version for my mobo. However steam games are totally unplayable (eg space marine - I have an AMD FX 8120 BD cpu).
Do you know guys if the problem is the BIOS? (AGESA codes etc or a setting in the BIOS).
Is it solved with a BETA version; where can I receive the latest beta if possible?
EDIT:
Just to add my system specs more detailed
MSI 990FXA-GD80 BIOS 11.6, AMD-FX8120, Windows 7 64bit
RADEON HD 4890, 1GB (running on CATALYST DRIVERS 11.11)
Kingston 2x4GB 1600Mhz
PSU 750W
OCZ Vertex 2 SSD 60GB

Bas is right...It was the first time and the last... no I am totally convinced that this is a BIOS problem... nobody can change my mind...(sorry guys) since this guy at the link I posted above has constructed a custom bios fixing this issue (as he claims, I will not try it due to guarantee reasons, that is MSI's job actually and that is what frustrates me the most since I have sent them the link). As I said this is not a "local" problem my windows installation is as light as it can be... overclock is not an option on my system (yet), quicktime (not installed), monitoring programs? I have none, only microsoft essentials and windows firewall are active, and I have followed a guide to exclude the steam folder from scanning
http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1093560
No improvements, only by running a program OROCHI-CEG from this site
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?276698-A-fix-for-Valve-CEG-games-causing-BSOD-on-Bulldozer-issue/page3
Anyway since there is a workaround I will try to be more patient with MSI... But I have to admit that it frustrates me that BIOS updates come out late... (especially when this M/B costs 200euros a piece)
