Hi ASUS P5Q Deluxe motherboard owners,
if you're using VoodooHDA for audio then you can delete it right now !
I have found an excellent Kext package called ADI AD2000B for ASUS P5Q Deluxe courtesy of NiDmise at OSx86.net ADI AD2000B for ASUS P5Q Deluxe - Downloads - OSx86.net
STEREO: I do not have a surround setup so have only tested the Analogue front panel headphones and rear line out (lime coloured port). You get a way better output level than VoodooHDA. No distortion, no clicks or pops.
Best of all... Digital Out optical and coaxial work flawlessly
I have only tested this under Snow Leopard however and OS X Lion now, both are supported.
NOTE: Before installing this Kext package, you'll need to delete VoodooHDA.kext which is stored in Extensions folder i.e /S/L/E (that's /System/Library/Extensions ). If you have installed any other HDA kexts (e.g Roll back kext or AppleHDA kext then delete that too)
Headphones (Built-in): when headphones are plugged into front panel headphone jack, it will disable sound from your external speakers and the Internal Speaker will change to this mode.
Line Out (Audio line-out port) - didn't get any sound on these two because i only have a stereo setup so no surround audio to test with
Digital Out (Optical digital-out port) - Both S/PDIF Optical and Coaxial work flawlessly and the output level is HUGE !! NOTE: The Apple volume slider is disabled in Digital Out mode.
Enjoy

- After downloading the kext from OSx86.net, you should have a zip file called Sound AD2000B P5Q Deluxe.zip.
Unpack the zip file, place this folder on your desktop and open the folder to see all the four Kexts (AD2000b.kext, AppleHDA.kext, HDAEnabler.kext, HDAFEnabler.kext, HDEFEnabler.kext)
Use your Kext Installer of choice. I used Kext Utility I prefer KextBeast to install all the four kexts one by one.
When kexts installed, run System Utilities in MultiBeast and then Reboot.
Open System Preferences / Sound / Output, make your selections and your done
