The audio drivers are broken with 10.9.2 in MB 6.2. I reverted to those from 6.1. (Gigabyte Z77-DS3H, Realtek ALC887)

When I updated to OS X 10.9.2 my system would crash, every single time, within a minute or two of initiating audio playback (and only when initiating audio playback, as far as I could tell). I suspected that there was an issue with the Realtek ALC898 Audio Driver, and I noticed that this driver had been updated for 10.9.2, but only the DSDT version, which I'm not using on my Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H.
I ended up restoring to 10.9.1 with Time Machine because my Hackintosh was essentially unusable on 10.9.2
Should this new Multibeast update rectify the stability issues I have been having?

I suspected it was an issue with the ALC898 driver that my Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H requires, so I'm surprised that an update to that driver isn't part of this package.
Should this update rectify the stability issues I had on 10.9.2 with my configuration?

Thank you for the report- we have confirmed the bug with ALC 887 (current) only and will fix it shortly.

Nice! It is even smart enough to remove competing drivers. Installed AtherosL1cEthernet and it automatically removed ALXEthernet.kext. Unfortunately, L1c doesn't support the AR8161, so back to ALX.
I know this is may be outside the purpose of Multibeast, but maybe it would help others if when launched it scanned available drives and warned about bootable drives without the chimera patch could cause a kernel panic on boot... even if they are not the boot drive. At least that has been my experience.
