Trying to enable HDMI Audio on P5Q Pro

[exodusnirvana]

So I went out and bought a new video card Radeon HD 6870 and I'm trying to enable HDMI audio

I'm using an ASUS P5Q Pro...modded bios of course

I installed 10.6.8 update, then I used EasyBeast to install Chimera and such

Plugging the TV directly into the HDMI slot is a no go but when connect the HDMI to DVI I get video and QE/CI

But I'm trying to get HDMI audio through the TV and I'm lost. I installed the ALC1200 drivers for onboard audio and it works correctly.

I look in System Profile and Sound and I get this

So it knows that there's some HDMI goodness somewhere around there.

But I keep getting errors when trying to compile the DSDTs?

Should I just forgo the whole Snow Leopard thing and update to Lion? Did I install an improper kext??

You can't have HDMI audio until you have HDMI video. What frame buffer is loading for your 6870?

I believe my frambuffer is Duckweed

That's what it said in IoReg

With GraphicsEnabler=Yes, and framebuffer is Duckweed, you HDMI video fails. If so, try other frame buffers such as Lotus or Gibba. Find a framebuffer that works for HDMI video.
