Update: alternate audio driver
As I said in the OS X on Asus Eee PC 1000HE troubleshooting article, I figured I’d go ahead and throw together a more traditional how-to to help out some folks who were interested in installing OS X on their Asus Eee PC 1000HE netbook. Now, it’s not exactly difficult, and this is little more than cobbling together work that others have done, so allow me to give credit where it’s due and list those sources before we get into the actual steps. Just keep in mind that some things won’t work (yet).
Here’s a list of the sources I’ve tapped to figure this out:
OSX Leopard 10.5.5 on the eee 1000H
Leopard on Asus eeePC 1000HGo
ipis OS X: Installing iDeneb 1.3
Tutorial: Mac OS X 10.5.5 on Eee PC 1000H
And of course, this guide wouldn’t be what it is without the variety of folks who’ve helped contribute to the guide, call me on my mistakes, and in general make it better for everyone. I don’t mean to leave people out, but seriously, so many people have come together on this that it’d get unwieldy to start listing names…
However, special thanks to the forum members here who are discovering all sorts of thing: GuyHersh who is maintaining (better than I can) a thread with updates for your OS X install on the 1000HE (and for keeping everyone up-to-date with available downloads — I go to the thread when I want to see what’s new, okay?), pwm8 for an excellent iDeneb 10.5.7 update guide, rcfa for a retail OS X (vanilla) 1000HE install thread (it’s a work in progress), and everyone for coming together to help out. Please, I know I haven’t mentioned everyone by name and that doesn’t mean that I or others don’t appreciate your work. Seriosuly, thank you, all of you.

***** Please see the reader-generated thread on the smallcomputing.net forums for an easier to read (and search!) experience than going through hundreds of comments. Really! *****
Here’s a list of what you can expect to work (or mostly work) and what won’t:
Working: trackpad, video, audio, audio out, video out, sleep, camera (though it’s nowhere near as responsive as a real Mac’s camera), ethernet
Not working: wireless (stock)
Untested by me: microphone in (various reports saying yes and no)
Also, I’ve had reader report that this guide works for the Asus Eee PC 1000HA netbook, but as I don’t have one, I am unable to answer any specific questions about it. However, other readers may be of assistance.
– I’ve tried to rearrange the guide so that it’s easy to follow and knocks out various pieces of the installation in a somewhat logical manner. If you’re only able to do part, you should be able stop, come back later, and pick back up and get things working. Also, if you’ve already installed some of these things but haven’t done others (SpeedStep comes to mind), they’re somewhat separated so you can scroll right now to that section without reading through the entire thing again. And yes, I did sneak fixing LCD brightness into the video section. –
***** Requirements for installation and pre-install notes (i.e. DOWNLOAD THIS STUFF!) *****
Here’s what you’ll need to do this: iDeneb 1.3, external DVD drive, and this collection of various things that should be installed after OS installation (from JokerPCs thread on insanelymac).
From superhai’s Darwin project site, you need two files for SpeedStep (I’m not linking directly to them in case they change) so download VoodooPower.kext and GenericCPUPowerManagement Application. And grab this kext file for LCD brightness control (requires nothing extra to make it work).
Thanks to the awesome user community, a working ethernet driver is now available. Please note that there’s different files for different versions of the OS. If you’ve braved the upgrade to 10.5.6 (or 10.5.7), then grab the 10.5.6 installer. If you’re still working with 10.5.5 or like to do things the hard way, here’s the 10.5.5 (and 10.5.6) files. Note: you only need one of them, not both, if you’re working with 10.5.6.
Since you ought to update your iDeneb install after it’s finished, you may want to look here for the iDeneb 10.5.6 update.
And once you’ve installed 10.5.6, then get iDeneb 10.5.7 update (this updates from 10.5.6) because that’s available now as well.
Now thank GuyHersh making most of this stuff available.
Also, you do not need a custom BIOS as iDeneb 1.3 will install on the default BIOS. I know with other Eee models you need to grab a hacked BIOS, but again, let me be very clear: you do NOT need a modified BIOS to install OS X on the Asus Eee PC 1000HE netbook. The 0303 BIOS (shipping BIOS) works fine for OS X.(I’ve not tried any others, but my guess is that they’ll work as well.)
Another caveat: I and others have had issues with the trackpad drivers not loading properly (you’ll know they’re not when the cursor jumps down the screen and gets stuck in a corner and is all but unresponsive). Rebooting usually solves it for me, but readers suggest you might also try plugging in a USB mouse before you boot the OS X installer. (Also note: this sometimes happens when you’re actually in OS X, so, again, reboot or USB mouse.)
Final caveat: if you, like me, have installed Windows 7 on your Asus Eee PC 1000HE netbook, you may find that it has completely taken over the MBR, thus making it impossible for the chameleon boot loader to make it into OS X. Here’s two solutions: easy way to dual boot Windows 7 and OS X, and the more involved, but cleaner, way to dual boot Windows 7 and OS X. Alternatively (better than either), install the latest version of the Chamelon bootloader (download links on the right because the versions change) and make the OS X partition the active one with the Windows 7 command line tool.
Preparing your Asus Eee PC 1000HE netbook for OS X
The first thing you need to do is boot into Windows and get a partition setup for OS X. This is quick and easy.
- Right click My Computer, select Manage, select Disk Management, and then delete your D: partition (it’ll be ~60gb).
- Then right click on the graphical partition table a little below that where it has unassigned space and Create a New Partition.
- Select a Primary partition, do not assign a drive letter, do not format the space. It should only take a moment and when it’s done, reboot.
Mindlessly slam the F2 key to get into the BIOS. You need to tell it to not boot to the hard drive.
- Go to the Boot menu and then Boot Device Priority and make sure your external DVD drive is configured to be the primary boot device, hit F10 to save and exit, and wait.
Installing OS X on the Asus Eee PC 1000HE netbook
OS X will slowly, very slowly, boot. You do not need to specify any boot flags, just hit Enter to boot.
- Choose your language and click the blue right arrow button (or hit Enter). Now wait several seconds.
- Go to the Utilities menu and select Disk Utility.
- Select the second partition (~60gb) on the left and then click on the Erase tab at the right.
- Change the file system to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) in the drop down and type in a helpful name for the partition name.
- Click the Erase button near the bottom and wait.
- Quit Disk Utility and go forward in the install until you can click the Customize button in the bottom left.
Here’s where you’ll need to select a few things to help make stuff work.
- Under Patches and then Audio, choose AppleAzaliaAudio [there's an alternate audio driver linked below -- if you opt to use that, skip this (just keep in mind it's a beta)].
- Under Chipset, choose ICHx Fixed.
- Under Fix, select all of these: ACPI-Fix, Cpus=1-Fix, FireWire Remove, Power Management, PowerOff_Fix.
- Under Video and then Intel choose Intel GMA950.
- Under Applications, be sure you install Kext Helper and OSx86Tools. Pacifist may also be a good idea, but I haven’t needed it thus far. (Or just install everything.)
Once you’ve selected all of these things, hit Done and then Install and wait. Once it’s all done, with some luck, it’ll reboot itself and you’ll be at the usual OS X user registration screen.
Post install cleanup: fixing OS X (sort of) on your Asus Eee PC 1000HE netbook
The next part includes the initial computer setup, and because you don’t have a functional ethernet connection, wired or otherwise, be sure to select My computer does not connect to the internet once you’re prompted for that. I’m crossing my fingers that functional drivers will show up soon, or that existing ones can be persuaded to work. Anyhow, soldier on.
Video and miscellaneous support files
Now open up that file that contains all the stuff I said you’d need for post installation.
- Open the Apps folder and install the About this Mac package.
- Now open your Applications folder (OS X’s application folder, to be more precise: Shift-Alt-A will open it if Finder has your focus). In the iDeneb App folder, open Kext Helper b7.
- Now open the Kext folder from the support file and drag all of the .kext files to the open Kext Helper b7 window. Also make sure you drag the AppleIntegratedFrameBuffer.kext file in. Lastly, also drag the VoodooPower.kext file in for SpeedStep so you can kill a lot of birds with one stone. Type in your password at the bottom, click the Easy install button, hit OK, and wait. You’ll have to reboot when done, but when OS X comes back up, you should find your video resolution is now fixed. You can also use the default shortcut keys on the 1000HE to control brightness.
Sound support (if you installed AppleAzaliaAudio)
Next on the list is sound, and this’ll require reading the how-to file in the directory because you need to install CHUD, and if you don’t have a Leopard DVD handy from your Mac, well, that’s where the reading comes into play. (The alternative is to sign up for an Apple Developer Account and then download it from Apple, but reading the how-to is probably faster.)
- Open the Sound Fix folder (from the post install support file) and copy the Audieee program to your OS X Applications folder (you can copy Spark as well, but that’s that’s for short-cut keys and will be covered later).
- Now, read the how-to, download and install CHUD, and then install the AzaliaAudio package. Reboot.
- Open up Audieee and then select Internal speakers from the little icon it’ll add to your system bar and test for sound (open up iTunes and drag an mp3 into it, or find some other way to make sound).
- Assuming you have sound (if not, go through these steps again), go into OS X’s System Preferences and then Accounts and then Login Items and click the + button to add Audieee to your startup items.
Sound support (alternate driver)
If you skipped the AppleAzaliaAudio part in the installation, then that must mean you’re looking for the cleaner way to go. Here it is: VoodooHDA 0.2.2. The driver and prefpane are linked in that thread and reports are generally fairly positive. Install the .kext in the usual method.
Power management
Time to fix power management.
- Open up your OS X System folder, then go into Library and then SystemConfiguration.
- Drag PowerManagement.bundle to the desktop (just in case) and then trash the one in the SystemConfiguration folder.
- Grab the PowerManagement.bundle from the Bundle folder of your miscellaneous support files and put it in the SystemConfiguration folder.
There’s some last minute cleanup to perform, so go back to the iDeneb App folder (it’s in OS X’s Application folder) and run OSx86Tools.
- First, we need to set proper file permissions and make sure everything works. Click the Repair Permissions and Clear Extensions Cache boxes, tell it to Run Selected Tasks, give it your password, and wait, and then your password again and it’s done.
- Click the Enable/Disable QuartzGL button and then choose to Enable it. Password and ok and then click the Reboot button. This will improve video performance.
SpeedStep support
Let’s get SpeedStep working so that you can get more than 3 hours of battery life. This works as of today, 3/7/09. (Disclaimer: the solution has changed in the last few months and old methods you find will not work unless you’re using an Eee customized boot132 disc with the old files on the disc.)
From superhai’s Darwin project site, you need two files (I’m not linking directly to them in case they change).
- Download VoodooPower Kext and GenericCPUPowerManagement Application. (If you’ve already installed the kext in the earlier step, skip to the third bullet point!)
- Open up your OS X Applications folder, go to the iDeneb Apps, and run Kext Helper b7. Drag the kext file into the Kext Helper b7 window. Type your password in, click Easy Install and let it rip.
- Copy the GenericCPUPowerManagement application to your Applications directory and then open up System Preferences, then Accounts, and then select your account on the left and click the Login Items tab. Click the + sign, choose your Applications folder, and select GenericCPUPowerManagement. You may also want to click the Hide button.
- Reboot to verify everything is loading properly and you should have a new icon in your dock and a lot more battery time.
Wireless card swapping
I haven’t personally done this, but there’s been a lot of discussion in the comments about changing the wireless card, so rather than make everyone hunt through the comments, I figured I’d include the links here.
- Disassembly guide for the Asus Eee PC 1000HE netbook.
- Disassembly videos for the Asus Eee PC 1000HE netbook: part one, part two, part three.
- Readers also suggest taking pictures as you go, and being quite careful because of the wire connections you’ll run into when you’re near the end and have to completely pull the case apart.
- Also, if you’re swapping cards, be sure to disable the Boot Booster in BIOS as it can/will cause problems with your wireless card.
Upgrade to 10.5.6
If you missed the link above, I’m just echoing it down here to make sure everyone knows about it and can update their system. I haven’t tried this yet, so I can’t comment or provide directions.
- iDeneb 10.5.6. Upgrade Kit
- Install the ethernet driver (if you didn’t get the manual installer earlier) that works on 10.5.6 or 10.5.7.
- Chances are decent that one or more things will be broken after the update (graphics, sound, etc.). Anything that isn’t working, try reinstalling kexts first. If you continue to have problems, you may want to look at the forums for help or suggestions.
Upgrade to 10.5.7
I’m going to shamelessly steal from the forums for the 10.5.7 update. Aside from formatting, this is entirely pwm8’s work. See the iDeneb 10.5.7 update guide thread for more information.
Ok, I have spent most of the morning struggling with the 10.5.7 iDeneb update, but I finally have it mostly working. I was running iDeneb 1.3 updated with the iDeneb 10.5.6 updater.
I spent most of the morning in safe mode trying to figure out how to get back to working condition. Needless to say, this update was a bit of a struggle, so here’s some tips to help others.
Main points:
1. Backup to a flash drive or SD card ALL of your AppleIntelGMA950 files. This includes AppleIntelGMA950.kext, the two bundle files containing “950″ in the file name, the plugin file with “950″ in its file name, and the AppleIntegratedFrameBuffer.kext from your 10.5.6 install before you do anything. All of these files are located in your System/Library/Extensions file. The AppleIntel950 files are next to each other in that file so are easy to find.
2. Also backup IOBluetoothFamily.kext from the same file
3. Download the iDeneb 10.5.7 Combo update from Ihackintosh or from the link posted in the first page of the large thread on this forum titled: “OS X on Asus eeePC 1000HE – Updated 5/18/09”
4. Install the combo updater, reboot.
5. Reboot should work, but your machine will be in 800×600 stretched mode (much like the first time you installed). Also, bluetooth will be working, but will not be able to be turned off.
6. Using Kext Helper, reinstall AppleIntelGMA950.kext, AppleIntegratedFrameBuffer.kext and IOBluetoothFamily.kext. Don’t reboot yet.
7. From your backups, copy the 2 bundle files and the 1 plugin file that have “950″ in the file name into your hard drive System/Library/Extensions folder. You will have to tell it to replace existing versions of all those files.
8. Reboot. You should be back to normal, with correct resolution and bluetooth able to be turned on and off.
A couple of issues: I don’t see anything different regarding power with this update-a couple of posters have noticed better battery life, I haven’t seen that yet. Also, no difference in the power management stuff in GenericCPUPMControl-one side’s graphs jump up and down and the other side stays at 100% (this is showing VoodooPower.kext 1.2.3 for reference)
I haven’t noticed that anything else is broken. Yet.

You should now have a working OS X on your Asus Eee PC 1000HE
netbook. Except for stock wireless, everything should more or less work. I’ll keep my fingers crossed that Ralink keeps up their commendable job of writing OS X drivers, but I’m not holding my breath.
-Updated 5/31/09 with alternate audio driver information.
-Updated 5/19/09 with various corrections, updates, and corrected links. Again, my gratitude to the forums team who are dedicated to making OS X run as well as it can.
-Updated 4/15/09 to add the beta ethernet driver (headsup courtesy of the forums).
-Updated 3/30/09 to add additional drivers and resources that were getting buried in the massive comment thread. Thanks everyone for your patience as I slowly find time to update the guide.
- Updated 3/11/09 for further clarification and to remove stuff I forgot to get rid of, and add LCD brightness control. Thanks again for corrections.
- Updated 3/7/09 for clarification and layout changes (thanks everyone for tips/corrections). I hope it’s easier to read now.
- Updated 2/28/09 to add list of working/non-working items and various typo fixes.

For anyone interested in my previous wireless problems…..
New broadcom came today, installed and it WORKS!! Whats funny is although I ordered a BCM4321 this time, I still received the same model as last time BCM94321. Oddly enough it worked, so it must have been the firmware in the first one. SO odd that the first one worked fine in Windows, but not in OSX. Anyway, I’m happy, and willing to put my eeMac up against the POOR ass quality of a macbook anyday, and for alot cheaper!!!! Both my macbook pro and mac pro are looking scared right about now….LOL Glad I got this working, cause I was about to buy another real mac(unibody macbook), just to have something under 15″
and the BEST part….now I have a mac that I can take anywhere and not be as paranoid about an accident happening with a $2200 dollar machine!!!!
Total out of pocket= $430.00 (due to buying 2 wireless cards/first one wouldn’t work) plus my labor(which I don’t want to mention at my rate of $75.00 per hour), but WORTH IT since I love tinkering and being in the pc repair field anyway!!
Plus I got to stick it to Steve Jobs!!!! LOL
Hi all, today my BCM84321MC came in the mail. I had it installed and put back together in 30 minutes. As others have had to do, I also have to go into BIOS and save each time I boot in order for OSX to recognize the wireless. Win7 has no problem recognizing the card and it works great there. I am happy that I finally have wireless in OSX but I wish I didn’t have to go into BIOS on each boot.
Greg, turn off Boot Booster, and it will fix it….
osxtasy – Thanks for the tip, I guess I missed that when I was hastily reading through all the posts. Thanks!
Tim – I have the same exact problem. It happened after screwed up my ideneb 1.3 install after i tried upgrading to 10.5.6 with the updater. I attempted reinstalling ideneb 1.3 and got the exact error you described. Could it be something to do with the partition we’re using? Perhaps some bios setting problems? Any ideas anyone?
osxtasy – wonderful news about your new card! I ordered the same one you linked…can’t wait! After you’ve got everything running now…any flaws at all with your hackintosh? ANYTHING? Do you have an apple sticker on your case? haha
Thanks all!
I´m not sure, but is it possible to install ideneb 1.3 via USB stick? any hints?
thanks
kadave, no problems thus far. Not sure I’ll update to 10.5.6 yet on the eemac, after all, I’m already running 10.5.6 on my real MBP and MacPro and dont see any real differences.
I did do all the updates (other than 10.5.6)that were in software update this morning and she’s still chuggin along fine! I also installed a few of my regular use programs and utilities that I use on my genuine macs. All programs run just as well. Not sure I’d want to do any major video or audio work (or anything resource heavy per se), that I’d do with my MacPro, but for basic stuff, I’d say the eemac is as fast as my MBP to be honest….I love it!!!!
Now I have 2 extra wifi cards (the original stock card, and the first BCM94321MC that only works in windows) that I have no use for…..yet..LOL
Oh yeah, I have got a few Apple stickers (came with my MacPro. MBP, and iPhone/itouch). I put one on it for a few hours, but took it back off, it felt tacky. After all, I had already taken off all of the stock intel/and other stickers when I first got the 1000HE.
To me, part of the appeal is not showing it off, but just knowing that I made it bend to what I wanted it to be, not what I was spoon fed from Apple like with my genuine macs….
in other news, I’d like to collaborate with someone on making backups. I’ve always used CCC on my real macs, so I think I’ll start trying to clone this eemac this weekend. I’m gonna go get another usb WD passport this weekend and start trying it out. I do however expect it NOT to work due to having a bios without EFI. I know I can reinstate the original EFI(might work like a real mac’s EFI maybe??) which is bootbooster, but as we all know, that causes issues as well with normal booting. Any Ideas????
Suggestions welcome/needed!!!!
Well, she wont boot from Disc Warrior(over usb), so thats one utility not working…
@ Time & Kadave
This issue has been covered a few times in the comments, but I understand its long, so I’ll post it again:
One way to skip welcome screen setup, is at the startup options before OSX starts booting enter:
“Graphics Mode”=”640×480×32″ (WITH the quotes)
This will skip the welcome screen. Afterwords though, you’ll want to go to the Users in Preferences, and create yourself an account. You can then delete the Administrator account once you log in to the one you just created.
Thanks Guy! Wicked!
Thanks for info. My problem with the small screen is 640×480 takes the buttons off the screen. I tried 1024×768 but then it still went thru the setup screens with same problem. Maybe another monitor plugged into the vga port might allow me to use 640×480. kadave did you have any luck with yours?
If I want to get rid of the dual boot setup. How do I remove the dual boot program so that it boots into XP like it did before I tried to install leo? Thanks…
@Tim
You just need to do the 640×480x32 one time, so it skips that welcome setup. After that your free to use it at the native resolution.
Thanks a million Guy! I have it up and running now. Just installed the sound, power management, etc. This is great!
@Tim & Kadave
I’m glad I could help, I updated my thread with how to get passed the Welcome setup loop in my thread at the .UN:F [1.8.6_1065]
Rating: 0 (from 0 votes)
My link got screwed up, I meant to say that I updated the thread at the SmallComputing.net Forums.
Can anyone pls help me on how to install the 10.5.6 update, when I start the iDeneb.MacOSx86UpdCombo10.5.6.pkg, it says “could not validate the contents…..” thank you
Thanks for the awesome instructions and for everyone’s tips & comments. Have not used a Mac for years so all the talk about kext’s is foreign to me LOL. Have 1.3 working great with everything except the camera & wireless. Dual booting with Win7 and have to say am more than pleased with the performance of this little thing. It has been able to handle everything from Office 07 to the full Adobe CS3 suite & best of all I don’t have to unpack it to get through airport security anymore!!!
I have tried to install the iDeneb_1.4 upgrade while in OSX but have been unsuccessful after re-boot. All I get is the gray apple logo and that is where it stops. Is there a detailed write-up like this for the upgrade anywhere? I would really like to be able to run Ilife09.
@Tim-sorry…i hadn’t had any luck with mine…but after Guys comments, i’m sure i’ll be up and running in no time. I have to wait a few days to get back to my hackintoshing.
@Guy – thanks so much.
Anyone try and reduce the size of the OS partition and use the remaining HD space for another HD? When I tried to do this either in the Disk Manager or Partition Magic it said that because the unused portion of the disk was after the OS partition, I couldn’t make it into a primary partition(or any partition at all). Does this mean I have to repartition my drives, reinstall iDeneb and go through this again to get back my 40 Gigs of space?
Also, what utility did you use to get ethernet working? I can’t even get the airport utility up to recognize that an ethernet plug is in, let alone have it work.
Thanks in advance!
For you folks who replace your wireless card: Where is it located? Do I have to remove the motherboard to get to it? Is it underside the motherboard? The tear down guide does not show it and I’d love to see a picture.
@Norm
Its underneath the motherboard, if you take the HDD out, you can actually see it underneath the casing. Go here for videos that show u how to take the motherboard out.
So the answer is yes, you do have to “take out” the motherboard, which is being able to lift it and replace the card.
Got 10.5 finally installed – from the v1.3 DVD, with a different external DVD drive.
However, when I try to boot the computer gets stuck at the grey screen with the Apple logo on it.
Any idea what I can do here (Boot Booster is disabled)?
Everyone who got trouble with booting, and grey apples with spinning gears. This doesn’t tell us everything! First off try to boot with “-f” flag, and if that doesnt work, boot with “-v” and tell us where it stops, couse the grey apple-loading screen can mean anything!!
And for the teardown guides, read trough theese pages and you will find my post with touchscreen install videos, theese are great to use for swapping wireless card too, just skip the last part.
When I try booting with “-f” I end up with the same grey screen.
When I try “-v” I get about 20 lines of text and nothing of it looks like an error message. The last 2 lines are
MAC Framework successfully initialized
using 10485 buffer headers and 4096 cluster IO buffer headers
After that nothing happens and nothing seems to be possible. I can only switch the machine off and on again.
… and I do not have any spinning gear on the screen. Just the Apple logo in the middle of a plain grey screen.
Thanksssssssssss!
Everything worked for me (except the wifi card). I hope a driver is release sometime in the future. For the mean time, I can use eathier Windows 7 or XP (I manage to do a triple boot) for wireless internet.
kirshgarten, then you have to try to reinstall OSX, maybe something went wrong in the installation!
I am so thrilled! I re-installed OSX (I think I forgot ACPI-Fix, Cpus=1-Fix, FireWire Remove, Power Management, PowerOff_Fix the first time) and right now I’m lookign for the first time at OSX on my Eee PC 1000HE. It’s so great. Thank you so much, guys!
I now have to do the post install cleanup and will come back here after that.
Hey guys can you please post witch v. of bios you guys have on the machines were osx and windows are working properly
I know it’s in the comments somewhere but how I can I install OSX off of a USB thumb drive? Thanks!!
Thanks for the great guide. I installed iDeneB 1.3, followed all the instructions, and then the update to 10.5.6. I had to redo a couple of the kexts, but now everything including ethernet is working. I put in an apple BMC94321 wireless card (apple logo)and that works great also.
Thanks again…
Nevermind, I found it on page 3!
After i installed a bunch of stuff i constantly boot into a screen with a lined circle ontop of the apple and the thinking wheel moving… nothing happens after. any help guys?
Nearly everything seems to work fine (for the network adapter I had to install AttansicL1eEthernet.kext – I think this is not mentioned in the instruction above). Except of course for WLAN but that I knew from the beginning.
However, my microphone is not working anymore. It was working in the beginning but now it’s not anymore. I think it happened after I tried to use a Bluetooth headset – also here the microphone does not work.
Any tips how I can get the microphone working again?
@Patricio: I don’t know the version number but I’m using the latest BIOS from Asus. Got it through Asus Update.
To clarify the microphone thing: I have no input devices in my “Sound” preferences. I’m sure the microphone was there before and I even could adjust the input volume.
