I have a Hackintosh build comprising:

 

Asus P5KPL-CM mb (bios 602)

Asus 512mb 9400GT Video

4GB Kingston Ram

200gb Seagate Sata Drive

Pioneer 216 DVD

Antec NSK 6580 Case

PS2 Keyboard

USB Mouse

Asus Wireless Network Card PCI WL-138G

 

Did a flawless install with Ideneb 1.4, Everything worked first time including 2 channel sound from rear outputs using Azalia Kext, Networking etc.

 

The sound though is very limiting - no inputs for microphone, or spdif output for home theater use etc.

 

What would be the best option for adding quality sound? There is no real Hackintosh support for the onboard Via VT-1708b sound.

 

Have researched the Asus U1, but it has no outputs for my 5.1 speakers (has spdif output) but my speakers are analogue.

 

Is there a card that would give me front panel compatibility? Full 5.1 analogue output? Spdif Output for my HT amp? Microphone/line input?Easy install?

 

TIA

 

cheers

Gary
