Okay, so I tried one more iteration of VoodooHDA, 2.6.1 I believe. Upon rebooting, I couldn't boot at all, all kinds of rubbish all over the screen in verbose mode. Eventually it just booted again, but took 15 minutes from BIOS. Then, sound worked just as before, with Pink Rear issue. Excellent! I don't know what happened, or why it worked, but after all I've been through I'm just glad it works again. The Pink Rear issue isn't so bad compared to the situations I've been in the past few days!

If anyone can come up with a solution for the Pink Rear issue, though, I'd much appreciate it!

Still can't get sound to work - really need help! I've tried ALL versions of VoodooHDA, none of which give proper sound! They just give a terrible distorted noise which can be 'altered' and slightly improved by reducing the sample rate, but even at 44100Hz the sound is still atrocious, especially when viewing YouTube videos.

I'm really lost now, when I first got this Hackintosh working, sound was fine with VoodooHDA 2.7.3, only the Pink Rear problem, but now even installing VoodooHDA 2.7.3 again does not work! I'm really lost and would appreciate any help to try to get my sound working again!

EDIT: Using VoodooHDA 2.7.2/2.7.3, setting the sample rate 44100Hz makes sound almost bearable in iTunes, it only breaks up once every 5 seconds or so, still unlistenable though. Other apps are still completely terrible.

Okay, so in my quest to fix the hissing noise once and for all, I've managed to break my sound completely (oops!). I uninstalled VoodooHDA and tried using ALC892 kexts with HDAenabler and AppleHDA 10.6.2 rollback. For some reason this didn't work at all, I'm not sure why as I am using the ALC892.

I tried searching for DSDT patches for my system, but I can't find any DSDT patches for AMD boards anywhere, maybe I'm missing something? Anyway, I tried removing the ALC892 kext and installing VoodooHDA again, so I at least have sound. Unfortunately, VoodooHDA won't work any more either. It does give me 'sound', but it's very distorted and broken-sounding, and reducing the sample rate does not fix it.

So now I have no sound at all... can anyone help?

Can anybody shed any light onto this? It's still really bugging me - the 'pink rear' input is always turned up when I boot, and the hiss is unbearable!

http://bit.ly/Lo9AE7 I tried using this tutorial to get my ALC892 working using other kexts. Unfortunately this didn't work at all (no audio devices listed) so I'm guessing I need to use VoodooHDA and try to get around this input issue.

Fixed my own problem - For anyone having a similar issue:

I deleted IOUSBFamily.kext from S/L/E and ran ####### and selected "IOUSBFamilyRollback" from the selection menu. Upon reboot, USB worked fine!
