dasein Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Hey guys, So far I have everything working on this budget i7 motherboard EXCEPT audio using a EFI booting technique slightly modified from the scripts I found on the GA-EX58-UD5 thread. Everything I've tried leads me to not seeing the audio card at all through system profiler nor seeing any output devices on the audio system preferences. I've tried adding the correct EFI strings and what other people have reported to work with gigabyte boards with ALC888 on them. The major difference seems to be the audio card in the southbridge between these two boards (and about 100 dollars). I've tried just about every ALC888 driver I could find on these forums but to no avail. I have a feeling that most of the kexts here were generated for the ICH9+ALC888 southbridge, but these X58 motherboards use ICH10. Does anyone have any advice for me that I can try? It's a beautifully fast system otherwise especially when paired with a 9800 GTX+. Thanks to everyone on these forums. Reading through people's struggles and successes have really helped me get to where I am now.

n1mda Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 I am also looking for a fix for the audio. The kext that AppleIIguy posted does not work. I'm running 10.5.7 Voodo and everything except the audio works.
