How to Fix GarageBand with Ryzentosh

This mini-guide provides a structural approach to troubleshoot and fix the issue.

Prerequisites

  • Confirm your hardware specifications (CPU, GPU, Motherboard).
  • Ensure you have a bootable recovery USB and backup your EFI.

Fix Steps

  1. Check your ACPI patches (SSDTs) for battery and trackpad (e.g., VoodooI2C, SMCBatteryManager).
  2. Ensure you have applied the correct IRQ patches if audio or trackpad is missing.
  3. Perform an NVRAM reset after modifying SMC-related kexts.

Verification

  • Reboot and verify if the functionality is restored and stable under typical usage.

Original Question:

Hello! I hackintoshed my Ryzen desktop a few weeks ago, and everything's been working great! Part of the reason why I wanted to Hackintosh was to learn a bit of music production with GarageBand and possibly move to Logic Pro. I was able to install and get GarageBand to run fine, and everything seems to work at the start. However, I've been running into a very odd issue with GarageBand, specifically the tempo and key signature. No matter, what I set the key signature to, the audio recording always seems to be transposed, even when selecting the right key signature. Furthermore, the audio is also a lot of times sped up or choppy because of the tempo setting. I did a pretty extensive google search, and while some people seemed to have the issue, it seemed to be solved with a quick reinstall. This is when I suspected that maybe it's because I'm using a Ryzen 5 2600x instead of an intel chip, so I search for GarageBand compatability with Ryzen, and I stumbled on this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/hackintosh/comments/ej0gvo/pro_apps_on_ryzen_cpus/

which claims that "GarageBand is flaky". How I want GarageBand to function is to disable the tempo and key signature, and just use it as a sort of recording app with multi-track capability (for now). I guess my question is if the tempo and key signature can be disabled, and if the issue I'm having has to do with me having a Ryzen cpu.
