Hi, Can you help me out? I can't get sound to work at all. I attached my IOREG

I'm on a new motherboard and i hope it isn't the mono.

There is no on board audio codec showing in IOReg, likely a hardware failure. The codec showing is the HD3000 HDMI audio codec.

Oh wow, well this is the second time this has happened with this motherboard. I guess either, a new motherboard is in order or a usb device.

Nice! Works great! Thanks (once) again!
