After getting my Hackintosh all squared away with El Capitan, I took the next step and went for a dual-boot setup with Lion (for legacy apps, mostly games, from my MacBook) on a second internal drive. Knowing that graphics would be problematic with the GT 730 in Lion, I went to nVidia's download site and got all the necessary drivers, including CUDA.
Long story short, the Lion install went fine, everything works OK--except audio. I'm using Clover as a common bootloader for both OSes (the second drive, with Lion, has no bootloader of its own in EFI, since I'd have to do the F12 trick for that to work). Audio (including HDMI!) works OK in El Capitan, so it's not a hardware problem.
When I first built this box, I ran Lion on it and had the same problem (using Chimera). Looking over the guides, I noticed MultiBeast 4.7.0 didn't include the ALC8xxHDA.kext extension; I got 4.6.1 from the archives, extracted the kext with Pacifist into /S/L/E and rebooted. Still no audio devices (and the volume is locked at 100%)
Do the ALC8xxHDA.kext and AppleHDA.kext need to be from the same version of MultiBeast? The former is from 4.6.1; the latter, from 4.7.0. I'm using a DSDT with Lion, so the EasyBeast/enabler stuff doesn't apply.
This Gigabyte board should use the 885/889a (not 889) driver; that's what I installed with MultiBeast. As usual, it identifies itself as a Mac Pro 3,1. I'm pretty sure I need to edit the DSDT (in /Volumes/Lion/Extra?) but am unclear as to how to proceed.
