There has been another bios update, I believe 1304, release at the end of september.

Please update the DSDT database and I was also wondering why the following code is not in the DSDT currently provided. This is from a different asus board but with a alc892 also.

Code: 
Device (HDEF)
            {
                Name (_ADR, 0x001B0000)
                Method (_PRW, 0, NotSerialized)
                {
                    Return (Package (0x02)
                    {
                        0x0D, 
                        0x05
                    })
                }

                Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)
                {
                    Store (Package (0x0C)
                        {
                            "subsystem-id", 
                            Buffer (0x04)
                            {
                                0xA0, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00
                            }, 

                            "subsystem-vendor-id", 
                            Buffer (0x04)
                            {
                                0x6B, 0x10, 0x10, 0x10
                            }, 

                            "layout-id", 
                            Buffer (0x04)
                            {
                                0x7C, 0x03, 0x00, 0x00
                            }, 

                            "codec-id", 
                            Buffer (0x04)
                            {
                                0x92, 0x08, 0xEC, 0x10
                            }, 

                            "device-type", 
                            Buffer (0x11)
                            {
                                "ALC892"
                            }, 

                            "PinConfigurations", 
                            Buffer (Zero) {}
                        }, Local0)
                    DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0))
                    Return (Local0)
                }
            }
 
Have you tried patching your own DSDT for the new Bios by chance ?

Also what does this code do exactly ? it looks like its related to sound.
 
I did a diff compare to my DSDT to the one in the database. It ended up identical. The addresses and everything the same. The dsdt in the database just renamed a bunch of stuff.

The code I posted is a HDef entry I found for the ALC892, there are a couple of versions for it, I don't know the differences. I still can't get my audio working with 10.7.2. I had a working kext for 10.7.0 and I used that but still doesn't work. I also tried the kext on kexts.com and the stuff in multibeast.
 
I figured that out 2 hours before you replied. As soon as I changed the DSDT to another one from insanelymac (the one I PMed you about the differences) my audio started working. I been frustrated trying to get audio working with several different kexts and HDef edits and then I finally decided to try another user's DSDT.

I would still like to know why the large differences in edits, the reasons, and which one is better
 
I can feel i might have to put my Sabertooth back together soon. I think i keep trying 1201 before and had issues until i did my own with autopatcher back then.

Thanks for update MacMan. :thumbup:
