OSX 10.6.3 retail
Pre Install
on my bios after playing around and trying different combinations I just left as Optimal defaults.

Install was a breeze I just used the PCIRootUID=1 and in 20 min or less it was rebooting.
Had a bit of a issue on reboot the apple logo with a wheel spinning black and white but the audio came on with the intro movie but no video still the (apple logo with a wheel spinning black and white) powered down and up solved it with GraphicsEnabler=No
loaded osx no problem just low res video, but everything else was up and running,

Installed the 10.6.8 update ran the multibeast with the EasyBeast and System Utilities video perfect but no sound. Installed ALC8xx kext + AppleHDA rollback to 10.6.2 + HDAEnabler ALC888.
Now I have in system profiler:

But no sound, I have the speaker on my menu bar, I can control it with my keyboard. and in sound preferences it says I have audio installed. but no sound.
.

Take 2:

all the same but after the 10.6.8 update did not run multibeast had to boot with iboot cd and all was working fine ran mutibeast with userDSDT and System Utilities, again no go.

Take 3

all the same but after the 10.6.8 update just installed the boot-loader. rebooted and 2 time got a kernel panic third time ok.

but every time i rebooted or powered on the same....

Take 4

Installed the 10.6.8 update ran the multibeast with the EasyBeast and System Utilities video perfect but no sound. Tried everything different audio kext but nothing. ended up installing a sound blaster Audigy and the KX audio driver v. 1.3b0 and audio works but no mic.

I do not understand why before mutibeast my audio was fine recognized all audio outputs and inputs and after nada........


if someone out their knows a fix i’d be grateful or how to enable audio thru my hdmi.

But no sound, I have the speaker on my menu bar, I can control it with my keyboard. and in sound preferences it says I have audio installed. but no sound.

What are you using for speakers? Did you make sure to select internal speakers in preferences->sound->output device? For the ports working with ALC8xx.kext see: http://macmanx86.blogspot.com/2010/12/n ... audio.html

Thanks for the replay Going Bald:

They are monitor speakers, they were working after install, after 10.6.8 update, but not after multibeast easybeast + system utilities, then tried with multibeast easybeast + system utilities+ ALC8xx kext + AppleHDA rollback to 10.6.2, no go then multibeast easybeast + system utilities+ ALC8xx kext + AppleHDA rollback+HDAEnabler ALC888 and no go.

Like i said I have the speaker on my menu bar, I can control it with my keyboard. and in sound preferences it says I have audio installed. but no sound.

tried all output sources and outputs on my computer with no sound from any of them.

What do you see when you open preferences->sound->output device?
What are your choices?
By working, do you mean you had sound when booted from iBoot, but not when booted from hard drive?

Try green, orange or grey port on back plane with line out selected - try both line out selections. If none of them work, try the green port with internal speakers selected.
