So I have a skylake i7 6700k processor, and a Gigabyte Gaming 5 Z170 Mini-ITX motherboard. Does anyone with similar hardware know how to get the proper audio drivers installed? I tried using multibeast to go through all of the different audio drivers but not of them seemed to work. I also have a GTX 1080, which I know is not supported on Macs yet, but both of my monitors are plugged into the GTX 1080 but I can only get El Capitan to recognize one at time. Is there any way I can get both of my monitors working? Would I need to disable the 1080 somehow and only run El Capitan through Integrated Graphics? If so, how would I go about doing this?

I just built this computer this week, and this is my first ever Hackintosh, so I'm still very new to all of this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
 
For audio - only install the correct option that your board uses. It is important that any incorrect options are deleted or they will prevent the correct option from working.
Check the instruction manual for the ALC codec that is used or have a look at the Gigabyte web page for the motherboard under 'specification'. See the Audio forum sticky links for additional help:

For the 1070 & 1080 cards, I would suggest running from the onboard video using the motherboard video connections for OS X until there is driver support. You will find more towards the later pages on the following thread:
