taunt Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Hello, I have SL server installed and can't get the sound to work. My board is a MSI 790FX-GD70 which has a RRealtek ALC889 sound chipper. I've installed a couple of different 889 kext's with no luck. Anyone with this board manage to get the sound working? Could you post what kext you used. I don't need anything fancy I just have headphones hooked up to my comp. Don't really need 7,000 channels of audio, just need stereo sound.

Cory171 Posted November 18, 2010 Share Posted November 18, 2010 If you use hazard 10.6.2 client server and set the boot options to "busratio=20" It should boot i am using the latest bios from msi but i can only get sound working if you use VoodooHDA and the sound isn't great.

Thanks I will GIVE you a usb surround sound card. It came from a Plantronics M777. I have the same mother board. I have a retail Mac OS DVD. I gave up last year trying to do this. If you can help me set up my system then the sound card is yours.
