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
- Check your ACPI patches (SSDTs) for battery and trackpad (e.g., VoodooI2C, SMCBatteryManager).
- Ensure you have applied the correct IRQ patches if audio or trackpad is missing.
- 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.
