OK, this is rapidly getting annoying. I had everything working perfectly on my Hackintosh (see sig) under 10.6.6 until I needed to borrow the video card for a few minutes to troubleshoot another machine. When I put it back in, I had no audio (ALC889a) or Ethernet. I was finally able to get Multibeast to run the Realtek ethernet enabler and get network back, but despite all efforts, the audio is still broken.
I've tried with and without DSDT, CMOS reset, HDA rollback, deleting the legacy Apple kexts, fixing permissions, everything I can think of, one at a time and together. I was able to install VoodooHDA and get sound working, but the quality is unacceptable - too quiet and noisy. I had the ALC8xxHDA kext installed and working perfectly; you could see all the devices in System Profiler and in the Audio pref pane. After this kerfuffle, it has never shown up again.
I'm also concerned that before this, Multibeast would set up 64-bit mode when I told it to. Now, even when I select 64-bit, it sets my plist back to i386 and I have to manually edit it to get 64 bit. I tried another copy of Multibeast with no success. Does Multibeast have a preference plist of its own? I'm tempted to delete it and see if this helps.
