2013 CustoMac Budget ATX Build -- Clean install OSX 10.8.4, NO AUDIO

[toleda]

Should I be deleting the HDAEnabler1.Kext from the desktop after intalling with KB... Will using MB to install Audio, 1080p, etc. be compromised if it's still there?

No.

No.

Thx... Working on Bootable backup and remaining steps, following a clean install (6c-8). Will update with IOReg.

Would HDMI audio to your monitor be an acceptable solution?

I wish it could be. I don't have audio for my monitor. I'm really perplexed about this-it looks as though many others have succeeded with this build. For those with audio problems, all of those issues were addressed, but none are a solution to my mine. ?? Version 1.1 of the board???
