I just built my first Hackingtosh and it seems to work really good overall. I used Kalyway 10.5.2 (vanilla kernal) on a Asus P5B Deluxe MB, ATI x1950 Pro VC and everything seems to be stable and working nice except for audio. I have audio working with 2.1 channel output, but nothing else. Reading the 10.5.2 HCL does not make it clear to me if any MB has fully functional audio under OS X (all inputs and outputs, mic, digital, etc. all work and sound good). Could someone please point me in the right direction for a MB that everything (audio, network, drive controllers, etc.) works perfectly?

Thanks,

Anyone have any input that will clarify what MB audio works best?

Why don't you go through the HCL?
