I have built my seventh hackintosh and this one was definitely the most difficult but also the strongest machine to date [dual x5680 @3.3GHZ 6-core] --- I have everything working except sound (Ethernet is provided by the AppleIGB kext) -- the sound chip is a Realtek 888 7.1. Using Chimera did not work most of the time so I went with Clover this time. During boot I see lots of sound assertion errors etc....in 'about this Mac' I see Intel HD audio with various in/outs but there is no output device in system preferences. Curiously, sometimes it says audio ID as 892, sometimes 885, sometimes 887. This install required a basic (non-patched) DSDT in the ACPI folder in clover. This motherboard doesn't have an HDEF or AZAL section in the dsdt --
I have to run Snow Leopard for certain applications but I also have a Yosemite install on the same computer (boots with the same clover install)---I know that the clover alc patch should work for Yosemite but is there any solution for snow leopard? It seems that for those of us having to maintain legacy hackintoshes that our options and our access to help is dwindling (for good reason I understand)------ I can upload my dsdt if requested or any other table from my ACPI. \
Any hope WORKING ONBOARD audio (alc 8888, clover boot, 10.6.8) ---if not, no worries, it is a Pro Tools computer and I can use the interface(s) though I prefer using Ableton with onboard audio ---
basically the question is --- is it possible to get realtek 888 7.1 working in Snow Leopard via Clover boot?
