ALC889 question

[DoctorWho]

I am getting ready to build my first hackintosh, and I was wondering, in order to get ALC889 working do you need to install the legacy audio option and the matching HDAEnabler option?

Only if you are not using a DSDT.

That's what I thought.

can you elaborate?
Is there a way to use ALC889 without Voodoo/Reverting to older AppleHDA?

Not at this time.

You may try this ALC889_AppleHDA_199f12.zip (10.6.5).

It's working on my friend's X58A-UD3R (Rev 2.0).

What about patching the 10.6.5 original kext? It's working for me. I also have the enabler in E/E.
How to Patch AppleHDA
Make a copy of the kext to your desktop, then run this command (set the correct path):

sudo perl -pi -e 's|\x85\x08\xec\x10|\x89\x08\xec\x10|g' /Users/YOUR_USER/AppleHDA.kext/Contents/MacOS/AppleHDA

After that install the kext with your preferred tool and when you reboot you'll get the sound back.
