I've tried searching the forum and attempted to make sense of this. I'm sorry if it's a stupid question, but by answering you would save me hours.
I'm a total Mac and Hackintosh noob, but I'm really satisfied with my near-finished build. When I was using HDMI from the onboard graphics, audio and video have worked perfectly on both OSX and Windows 8 (separate SSDs). I've installed my GPU (GeForce 660 Ti) and while the audio works fine in Windows, it is not working on OSX. I've read a bit here and, am I to understand that you have to manually edit your DSDT in order to get HDMI audio via the GPU, and once you have, you can only control the volume through the device? Aren't many GPUs (including mine) compatible with OSX at this point? I've read about people updating their sorely out-of-date Mac Pros with new GPUs. Are they not able to use or control their audio?
My goals are to be able to use my DVD-I port from the GPU to monitor and HDMI from the GPU to my nearby television in OSX. Is this even possible? I attempted reading this thread http://www.tonymacx86.com/hdmi-audio/70765-mountain-lion-hdmi-audio.html but it is completely over my head. I'm hoping someone can tell me if my goal is possible and potentially (in dummy's terms) how to achieve it. Thanks
Here are my specs:
Hardware: GA-Z77N-WiFi mobo, Intel i7 3770 (not k or overclocked), GeForce 660 Ti
Software: OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.3, NVidia drivers
MultiBeast: Mac Pro Early 2008 definition, DSDT-GA-Z77N-WIFI-F2.aml
UserDSDT or DSDT-Free Installation
Drivers/Audio/Realtek ALC8xx/With DSDT/ALC892
