Hello

Would you like to try new OS X driver build for Snow Leopard?
(attached)

It should work in x86 and x64 modes properly without any problems.
A new AC97 control panel is also included.

I no longer have Leopard, so I cannot test it with Leo.

Thanks. Your solution helped me, but I have a problem. Audible sound is good for few seconds after the sound became distorted. There is a solution for this problem?

In Sound / Output panel from System preferences >is this device kX SB0222 10k1 [1040] PCI card

Sound / Input - No input device found

Thanks in advance.

...sound became distorted. There is a solution for this problem?

...Sound / Input - No input device found

If you're little annoyed about distortion, you may want to give Eugene some details with hallab etc (click here) while some of them have already submitted it earlier, its just that there was no new release specific response from E since long time ( Vacation maybe)

Oh and input is not yet implemented (see release notes) who knows, maybe in next release?

Edit: HERE Some Xcode related more information (you can try to read and understand)
EDIT2: You maybe interested in page 6 7 8 of this thread (talks about automatically loading and unloading kExt which is a temp. workaround). Beware this will mostly crash media playback but won't annoy you to manually reload kext by typing commands... lol
