InsanelyMac Forum > ALC885 on 10.6.2 barely working, $20 dollar reward!

Hello people,

I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.2 on a DFI Lanparty P45 T2RS Plus motherboard. While everything is working fine, the sound is a real struggle to me.

I am using VoodooHDA at the moment, but this just gives me one channel out on a jack. My sound system has 3x3.5mm, coax and optical available. What I want, is 5.1 surround sound through the optical SPDIF fiber. Seems madtux made it working, but this is far above my knowledge of hackintoshes.

While I have tried a LOT of things, by hacking AppleHDA, editing the DSDT etc, no solution gave me all input and output channels. That is why I am asking someone to make it working for me, in return for a twenty dollars reward (I will use paypal to send the money). However I really want to learn it myself, I am just clueless how to fix this issue.

I would be glad if all the outputs are working (and optical 5.1) and also the inputs for microphone. I am sure this is piece of cake for an experienced person, so let's call it a win-win game

I have attached my current DSDT and the pinconfig from the Windows 7 registry.

I would be glad to reward the person who gets this working. I have spent too much time on it already

Thanks in advance!
