Maybe try creating a new user account? Seems like that's what may be making trouble.

Smile Re: Sound Update: ALC889a in Snow Leopard

I used elmangomez's fix from the beginning of this post.

Here's my HDEF DSDT section. RED highlight it what changed versus the "stock" dsdt from AserBLN's post here http://www.efixusers.com/showthread.php?t=38

I have F9e BIOS


Code:
            Device (HDEF)
            {
                Name (_ADR, 0x001B0000)
                Method (_PRW, 0, NotSerialized)
                {
                    Return (Package (0x02)
                    {
                        0x0D, 
                        0x05
                    })
                }
                Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)
                {
                    If (LEqual (And (ABLN, 0x80000040), 0x80000040))
                {
                        Store (Package (0x08)
                        {
                            "codec-id",
                            Buffer (0x04)
                            {
                                0x85, 0x08, 0xEC, 0x10
                            },
                            "layout-id",
                            Buffer (0x04)
                            {
                                0x75, 0x03, 0x00, 0x00
                            },
                            "device-type",

                            {
                                "Realtek ALC889a"
                            },
                            "PinConfigurations",
                            Buffer (0x18)

                            }
                        }, Local0)
                    DTGP (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3, RefOf (Local0))
            }
            Else
            {
                        Store (Buffer (One)
                            {
                                Zero
                            }, Local0)
            }
            Return (Local0)
                }
            }
added the Legacy HDA kext and voila!
Worked like a charm for me - Thanks! What? Oh yea i have sound!

Nice work. How did you find the correct data? It might help others to know where you got the correct code...

Default Re: Sound Update: ALC889a in Snow Leopard

Hi Guys,

I am really happy that I've found this forum.

I've just installed Snow Leopard, the updated it to 10.6.2. Everything works perfectly except the sound...

I have a Gigabyte EP45 DS3 mobo with F10b bios. I really like the new AHCI which is much faster than the old one. I used the dsdt from the first post of this thread:
http://www.efixusers.com/showthread.php?t=38

I added LegacyHDA to my extensions folder. Tried out multiple varitions from this forum for the Realtek part of the dsdt but none of them worked...
I downloaded EVO DSDTSE to edit the dsdt.aml file, but the suggestions that it gives for the alc889a hack are not working for me...

I used an iPC based Hackintosh until now, and I still can boot into that too, but the sound stopped working there as well. I tried to enable/disable Azalia, but it did not make any effect. On the iPC based system I used and SMbios kext, a HDAEnabler kext, and AppleHDA kext to make the sound work, but it doesn't seem to work now...

Any suggestions on how to make the sound work?

(Maybe the problem is that I use the DSDT which was programmed for bios version 10a and not for 10b? Is there a DSDT for bios version 10b? )

I would appreciate any help or suggestion!

Best Wishes,
Allanon
