Hi Shawnb,
I have exactly the same configuration as you. It's working but with a few glitches. Would you be so kind to share your smbios plist and com.apple.Boot.plist so I can compare them with the ones I have?
Thanks a lot.

Hi.

At the beginin I had the same problem with the audio, and my problem was that I not install the HDAenabler.
I used the iBoot form this tutorial, and once I configurate the Snow Leopard I run MultyBeast and I install all the list that show in this tutorial and the HDAenabler.
Then I copy the DSDT to the Extra menu and then I reboot, everything work fine.
A member here help me and send me by mail the DSDT taht I couldn´t download from here.
If you want, I can send you my DSDT by mail.
I have the same configuration, the different it´s my i7 930. but the DSDT it´s the same.

SPDIF Out?

Hello folks when I go to System Pref > Sound > Output I see the following:

Internal Speakers: (sound works with regular speakers attached to 3.5mm out)
Line Out: Built-in Line Output
Line Out: Built-in Line Output
Line Out: Built-in Line Output

What I want to do is set my output to the SPDIF out so that I can put it into my SPDIF-In on my Vista/Window 7 machine so that I can use one set of speakers. The question is instead of the three Line Out should I see something that is different indication that I have SPDIF working?

On my Vista machine (also Realtek but not 889) I can see the line in but it's STATUS is "UnLock" and it doesn't seem to think anything is coming in (Sampling rate etc)

Thanks,

Your motherboard uses the Realtek ALC889 codec.

Try this driver viewtopic.php?f=16&t=1686.

Thanks for the reply MacMan.

I followed the link you provided. Though I don't know quite how to replace the kext so here is what I did (sorry I'm a newcomer from Windows world)

I extracted the zip file Legacy889HDA.kext.zip in my Downloads folder. I removed /Extra/Extensions/LegacyHDA.kext. Copied the new Legacy889HDA.kext (I didn't have a existing one to begin with) to /Extra/Extensions. I proceeded to reboot and after reboot there was nothing my Settings > Sound. So I'm sure I didn't know what I was doing but tried it anyway.

Can you please provide a little more info if it's not too much trouble?

Thanks

You need to either use Disk Utilities in MultiBeast or Kext Utility.

Still no dice. Also I forgot to mention that I am still at 10.6.2 (not quite ready to make the jump to 10.6.3 due to newb status) Here is the output from Kext Utility:

The problem is that Legacy889HDA.kext is installed in the wrong place. I goes in /Extra/Extensions
